Finally, The Heavy Duty pegboard tool hanger you need has been built.
All of our pegboard hangers attach to the board with a steel tab and set screw, and do not fall off when retrieving your tools.
This is not the pressboard they sell at the homeowner’s hardware store or cheap stuff you can buy online that arrives dented. This is 12 Ga. Galvanized tool board that you will buy once and be done.
Blue Steel has produced custom tool hangers you need to manage your collection of BIG HEAVY TOOLS on your pegboard and for our 5S Tool Cabinets.

We have designed and manufactured these to stand up to the toughest conditions.
Yes, we all have had the “CHEAP JUNK!” thought about something we have purchased, maybe you’ve had that thought this week about your tools and equipment in your shop, perhaps your steel shop cart?
It seems like all the talk about the “throw-away” society has been around for decades, nothing new to see here, many times we don’t even return it for credit, just toss it away and buy a new one.
My experience this week was a little different, I was visiting a customer facility for a new project when I ran into this product. It sure looks used, and it should, it has survived over 8 years of use at a locomotive repair shop, hey do you know any railroaders, they can be really rough on equipment. If you don’t know, it is a harsh environment, no not the people, the work is hard and everything is heavy. Empty Railcars weigh 25-30 Tons and Locomotives Weigh 200+ Tons.

Now here is the photo from August 2011, the same casters, same paint job, a lot shinier. This is a great example of the value of a product. Anything that survives 8 years in a locomotive repair shop is doing pretty good. Blue Steel had strived for many years to provide an “Industrial Grade” product for our customers.
It sounds silly but when I saw that beat-up old cart, I just smiled.
The Report is in on our Galvanized Steel Pegboard.
This stuff is heavy-duty!!
With all the talk about all the big things going on today, we figured we could take some time to clear up something. Our Industry Standard 12 Galvanised Steel pegboard along with the heavy-duty custom hangers we manufacture are one of our most popular products with heavy industry because so many “homeowner” type products are being re-marketed by industrial companies and are not up to the task, we decided to go big. Take a look at our Steel Storage Cabinets and the Wall Mounted pegboards, they are all geared toward 5S tool organization for the industry sector. That’s why we call it the “industry standard” the others just can’t hold up.
Just how tough is it? Well here is a photo of about 85+ pounds hanging in the same area of the mounted board. The pegboard panel and hangers are built to be used in a heavy shop environment.
Is it time to upgrade your shop or tool room? Give us a call or email.
Do you need access to the locomotives for service?
Use this rolling ramp Aluminum work platform.
Here are some concept drawings and, the finished product photos. This is an elevated rail work platform for safe and easy access to the locomotive running board. It increases access options to service locomotives on tracks without a fixed ramp.
