How to choose the right SIXTOL workshop trolley

A workshop trolley speeds up work, keeps things organized and protects tools. At SIXTOL you can choose between an empty trolley (without tools) and a full trolley (trolley + tool set in EVA foam modules). This article will help you choose the right construction and understand how the module labeling works so you can buy modules progressively.

1) First choose the trolley type (construction)

At SIXTOL workshop trolleys typically differ by number of drawers/shelves and intended use. In practice you most often choose between these platforms:

2) Empty or full trolley?

Empty trolleys (without tools)

Choose an empty trolley if you already have tools or want to build the set exactly according to your work. You then buy individual modules (EVA inserts) as needed.

• SX8001 - MECHANIC TROLLEY KEVIN, 7 drawers
• SX8002 - MECHANIC TROLLEY JASON, 3 drawers, 1 shelf
• SX8003 - MECHANIC TROLLEY ROGER, 3 shelves

Full trolleys (trolley + tools in EVA modules)

Choose a full trolley if you want to start working immediately. The model name usually contains a number that indicates the number of tool pieces (e.g. 195 = 195 pcs of tools).

• SX8004 - MECHANIC TROLLEY TITAN 1559, 13 drawers, 1559 pcs of tools
• SX8510 - MECHANIC TROLLEY JASON 80, 3 drawers, 1 shelf, 80 pcs of tools
• SX8511 - MECHANIC TROLLEY JASON 94, 3 drawers, 1 shelf, 94 pcs of tools
• SX8512 - MECHANIC TROLLEY JASON 115, 3 drawers, 1 shelf, 115 pcs of tools
• SX8520 - MECHANIC TROLLEY KEVIN 80, 7 drawers, 80 pcs of tools
• SX8521 - MECHANIC TROLLEY KEVIN 182, 7 drawers, 182 pcs of tools
• SX8522 - MECHANIC TROLLEY KEVIN 195, 7 drawers, 195 pcs of tools
• SX8523 - MECHANIC TROLLEY KEVIN 210, 7 drawers, 210 pcs of tools
• SX8524 - MECHANIC TROLLEY KEVIN 253, 7 drawers, 253 pcs of tools
• SX8525 - MECHANIC TROLLEY KEVIN 274, 7 drawers, 274 pcs of tools
• SX8526 - MECHANIC TROLLEY KEVIN 326, 7 drawers, 326 pcs of tools

3) How we mark modules for the trolleys (EVA inserts)

Individual tool sets for drawers are sold as MECHANIC TOOL TRAY modules. Each module has its own sequence number (1-11) and, importantly, an order code. Thanks to this you can buy an empty trolley and gradually purchase exactly the modules you need.

Overview of modules and their order codes:

Tip: If you will outfit the trolley gradually, start with modules containing basic sockets/ratchets and screwdrivers and only then add specialized sets according to the work you do.

4) Quick selection by use

• I want to start immediately without assembling: Choose a full trolley (e.g. SX8510 / SX8511 / SX8512 or the KEVIN series SX8520-SX8526; maximum equipment SX8004).
• I want to build a custom trolley: Choose an empty trolley (SX8001 / SX8002 / SX8003) and buy modules SX8101-SX8111.
• I have a small workshop/garage: The more compact JASON platform (SX8002) or the full variants SX8510-SX8512 often make sense.
• I want the maximum number of drawers and space for modules: Base KEVIN (SX8001) or the full variants SX8520-SX8526.
• Professional operation and large tool inventory: TITAN 1559 (SX8004).

5) Practical tips before buying

• Measure the space: for a trolley the footprint matters as well as the space needed to open the drawers.
• Plan for future expansion: if you know you will add modules, starting with a platform with more drawers is advantageous.
• Security: for drawer trolleys locking is important (tool protection and prevention of accidental drawer opening).
• Mobility around the workshop: if you often move material, a quick and light service trolley (ROGER) is a great complement to a main drawer trolley.

Summary: First choose the right platform (ROGER/JASON/KEVIN/TITAN), then decide empty vs. full trolley and finally plan modules according to the work – always by order codes.
