HWH-3001
Stainless Through-Board Hook, Single
A single hook for most hand tools on a custom board.
Tool Shadow Boards
Defined tool locations for production, maintenance and workshop use. A tool shadow board shows where each tool belongs and makes missing or incorrectly returned items easier to spot.
Overview
Tool Shadow Boards for the way your team works
A tool shadow board gives each tool one defined position, shown by its silhouette, label or holder. When the position is visible, anyone can see at a glance whether the kit is complete, what is missing and where each item belongs when the work is done.
5trak designs tool board layouts around the actual tool set: point-of-use organisation in production, complete kits in maintenance bays and clearly mapped positions in workshops.
Design details
Built around the small things that save real time
Point-of-use organisation
Tools staged where they are used, so retrieval and return happen without leaving the work area.
Missing-item visibility
Empty positions are immediately visible, making it easier to recognise when a tool is missing or returned incorrectly.
Custom holders
Cut outs, clips, pegs and milled seats are selected for the specific tools in your kit, including odd or non standard items.
Labels and identification
Engraved or printed labels, colour coding and asset tags can be matched to your existing register or workplace standard.

What tools can be organised on a shadow board?
Most hand tools, gauges and workshop equipment can be given a defined position, including odd or non standard items. The layout is designed around the specific tool set.
How does a tool shadow board help with missing items?
Each tool has a visible position. An empty position is easy to recognise, which makes missing or incorrectly returned items more obvious during routine checks.
Can tool boards be configured for point-of-use storage?
Yes. Layouts can be designed around where and how tools are used, including compact point-of-use boards and mobile systems for shared tooling.
What information is needed for a custom tool board?
Photographs, tool or equipment lists, dimensions and the intended location are useful starting points.
Tool board design
Layouts built around the real tool kit
The layout starts with what actually needs to be organised: the tool list, where the tools are used and how often, then the board is designed around that requirement. Photographs and tool lists are useful starting points.
1
Send the tool list
A list, photographs or a photo of the current toolbox is enough to start the design.
2
Layout for approval
Positions, holders and labels are mapped to the tools and reviewed before production.
3
Repeat across areas
Approved layouts can be replicated across work areas or sites for a consistent standard.
