StoreWALL Heavy Duty Universal Hook
The Heavy Duty Universal Hook is a larger, stronger version of the standard Universal Hook — 228mm deep vs 114mm, and 68kg capacity vs 45kg. The extra depth and strength make it the right choice for longer or heavier items that the standard hook would hold, but not as comfortably: extension ladders (order 2), large garden tools, long-handled implements, and heavy sports equipment.
For extension ladders, two HD Universal Hooks spaced appropriately along the ladder length give you a secure, stable wall mount without taking up any floor space. CamLok™ pre-installed. Sold as a single hook.

HD Universal Hook vs standard Universal Hook — which to choose
The standard Universal Hook is 114mm deep with a 45kg capacity — suited to most everyday garage items including helmets, bags, hoses, straps, and general hanging storage. The HD Universal Hook is 228mm deep with a 68kg capacity — twice the depth and significantly more strength, suited to longer items like ladders, rakes, large garden tools, and heavy equipment where the extra reach from the panel face matters.
If you're hanging items up to 1m long and under 45kg, the standard Universal Hook is sufficient. If you're hanging longer or heavier items — particularly extension ladders — the HD version is the right choice.
Extension Ladder Storage
Two HD Universal Hooks spaced along the length of a standard extension ladder give you a secure, permanent wall mount. Position the hooks at roughly one-quarter and three-quarters of the ladder's extended length — this distributes weight evenly and prevents the ladder from bowing or shifting. The 228mm depth gives enough reach for the ladder to hang flat against the wall with clear access to the rungs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many do I need for a ladder?
Two HD Universal Hooks for a standard extension ladder. Space them at roughly one-quarter and three-quarters of the ladder's extended length for even weight distribution.
What's the difference between this and the standard Universal Hook?
The HD Universal Hook is 228mm deep (vs 114mm) and has a 68kg capacity (vs 45kg). Choose the HD version for longer items — particularly ladders — or anything where the extra 114mm of depth provides meaningfully better support.
Is it compatible with all StoreWALL panels?
Compatible with Standard Duty, Heavy Duty StoreWALL panels, and MKE Slatwall panels. The CamLok fits the same 76mm on-centre groove pitch across all three.
