I've read many a positive post here about Akro-Mils parts bins, and I'll be adding some to the shop at some point. However, my immediate need is for something similar in my enclosed trailer.

How secure is the mounting to the Akro-Mils Wall Panel? Would those of you who have them think they are secure enough to mount to the wall of a trailer, or would typical road bumps dislodge them?

I think that the bumps on the glass smooth middle lane of the Audobahn would be enough to dislodge the bins. And even if they didn't jump out of the rack, stuff would jump out of them.

I see the contents of the bins being scattered on the floor within the first couple miles, with the bins shortly thereafter.

I have three of them sitting on top of a cabinet, screwed to the trailer wall and they work fine. I didn't experience anything coming out of the bins when I was pulling this trailer daily doing residential remodel work.
