New Accessory Rails for Ryobi Link System

Ryobi has announced new Link Accessory Rails, which can be used with many of the same hooks and accessories found on their larger wall panels.

The new Link rails can be attached to vertical surfaces, such as walls, doors and workbench edges, as well as the sides of Link-compatible tool cabinets.

Ryobi Link rails will be sold in pairs.

They measure 10.5″ x 2.5″ x 1″ and have a weight capacity of 15 lbs.

We’ve seen these Link rails before – Ryobi includes similar items with its Speed ​​Bench mobile workstation.

The rails are compatible with the following Ryobi Link steel wall cabinets:

• STM405 wall cabinet
• STM406 Lockable Tool Cabinet
• STM407 Open Tool Cabinet

Ryobi also shows Link rails in use outside the garage or tool room, such as attached to a cabinet door and loaded with household cleaning products.

Users can install the two rails separately or combine them end to end for a seamless installation.

Price: $14.97 (pair)
Estimated delivery date: September 2024

Ryobi Link products and accessories are available exclusively at The Home Depot.

Discussion

To give some context, here’s what the full-size wall tracks look like. While the full-size tracks are larger and designed to be connected together horizontally or vertically to form larger panels, the new tracks are much shorter.

The smaller size and mounting points limit load capacity, but make the new rails more suitable for use in certain applications and operating environments.

In addition to the lower weight capacity, not all Link System accessories can be attached to the new rails, especially if they are not installed next to each other.

I would say it seems like a fair trade-off, sacrificing some strength and compatibility for a much lower profile.
