The Large Utility Magnetic Basket delivers heavy-duty steel wall storage for larger tools, supplies, and bulk items. Perfect for garage storage systems, workshop organization, and other steel layouts.

Gator Baskets are designed to revolutionize your storage experience – especially when mounted on steel walls in sheds or pole barns.
Steel walls come in many shapes and configurations. We recommend confirming the dimensions of your ribbed steel wall before selecting a Gator Basket. Ribbing depth, direction, and spacing can all impact how securely the basket attaches. Knowing your wall’s design ensures proper fit and function.
Does your steel wall feature vertical or horizontal ribs? Is the surface large enough to accommodate the 2” x 3” Gator Hook? For best results, ensure at least 2” x 3” of flat surface area for the hook to grip securely. If possible, allow slightly more flat space for maximum strength. See example below:

*If you rely on a vertical rib to hang the basket, the weight capacity may vary due to limited magnetic surface contact. Add items gradually to confirm secure attachment.
When we say “Holds up to 45 lbs,” we mean it. Gator Magnetics measures shear force - the downward pull of real hanging weight – not pull force like most magnetic hook brands.
Other brands test using thick, 1.5-inch steel plates. We test on 16 gauge galvanized steel – the same type commonly found in garages, sheds, pole barns, and steel storage systems. The result: reliable performance in real-world conditions.
Gator Magnetics products are tested on 16 gauge galvanized steel for consistent results. While steel thickness and coatings vary, our team can help confirm compatibility for your setup.
