VitaReach — a pull-out system that is JAB (Just Add Board) by design.
It is an open-architecture storage system built on 2020 aluminum extrusions and ball-bearing slides. It consolidates several Pull-Out Board Kits installed on a common frame. You mount it on the wall above your workbench or inside a cabinet, attach your own board to each kit — pegboard, French cleat board, IKEA SKÅDIS, or any panel system you already use — and pull each board toward you when you need it. Both sides at a comfortable reach, no ladders, no stretching.
It's the first highly customizable ultra-capacity storage system designed to actually use the volume of air above a deep workbench that every other wall storage solution ignores.
A Pull-Out Board Kit is the vertical pull-out carrier — a top arm and a bottom arm joined by a vertical spine — that rides on ball-bearing slides attached to the wall frame extrusions. Your board of choice mounts to it and slides toward you on demand. Pegboard attaches via the included 2020 rail adapter. French cleat board bolts directly to the slides — no adapter needed. Each board on your wall is one kit.
Kits are available for 14 1/4x22" and 22x22" IKEA SKÅDIS, 16x32" metal pegboard (WallControl, OmniWall, Generic), and as a Cut-to-fit kit for plywood (French Cleats) and 3D printed boards. Every kit includes front board and metal bottom connection parts.
A front board addition is the same kit with a second board added as a front face, plus a metal bottom shelf. Every kit includes front board and metal bottom connection parts; the front board and the bottom shelf are provided by the customer. When pulled out, it forms a T-shape (or L-shape near a wall) — giving you left side, right side, and front board all accessible at once. The kit price is identical. Instructions for a typical installation are included.
The bottom shelf is perfect for stackable drawer organizers — small parts, fasteners, beads, anything that needs to be contained rather than hung. Small pegboards — 12×12", 12×16", and similar sizes — work perfectly as a bottom shelf. No cutting needed, just pick one that fits your setup.
When a board has a wall directly to its left or right, it is mounted 2" away from that wall so it can pull out cleanly without catching. For a front board addition near a wall, we suggest a 12" front board width — wide enough for good access to the neighboring board, slim enough to stay out of the way.
Because we value our product and our customers.
Full extension slides travel to 100% of their rated length — enough for most drawers. But your board isn't a drawer. When it is out, you need room to reach around both sides of the board, clear the neighboring board, and access the back of a front board addition.
Over-travel slides extend past the mounting frame by an extra 1–1.5". That extra travel brings the panel closer to you, gives both sides full clearance, and — critically for a front board addition — lets the back side clear the front board of the neighboring board without catching.
Full extension would work for a plain open board. Over-travel works for everything. You deserve nothing less.
No — you bring your own. VitaReach is a universal kit: we ship the frame, slides, and hardware, and you supply the panel. Pegboard, French cleat board, IKEA SKÅDIS, or any panel system you already use. No proprietary panels, no lock-in.
Not sure if yours is compatible? Send us a photo — we'll confirm before you order.
Most standard pegboards drop right in via the included 2020 rail adapter — common sizes are 12", 16", and 32". 16×32" works great for both the main board and front boards.
For a French cleat board, the adapter is not needed — bolt the slides directly. Order the Cut-to-fit kit and enter your board thickness — board connection bolts are included when you do. Standard 1/2" plywood works well. Installation guides for both mounting methods are at vitareachsystem.com.
Running something non-standard? We just need to know the panel type and dimensions. Email us before you order with the board type and make, exact dimensions (width × height in inches), a link to the product page if it exists, and a photo if you have one. We'll confirm compatibility, advise on sizing, and point you to the right hardware.
The width of your panel sets the depth of each kit — how far it extends into the space above your bench. 16" is the sweet spot for most setups: enough depth to feel substantial, comfortable to reach. 12" is compact and works well for tighter spaces or lighter loads. 22" is for the brave and the committed.
Your boards are moving now — heavy, pulling out, stopping. Standard round pegboard hooks will not survive on their own. They will fall off right before your eyes.
Quick fix: peg stoppers — small rubber inserts that lock standard hooks in place. Example →
Better solution: upgrade to locking pegboard hooks specifically designed for secure mounting. Example →
Proprietary systems — WallControl, OmniWall, and IKEA SKÅDIS — have locking mechanisms that survive movements and stoppages better than standard hooks.
Because we value our product and our customers.
Button head bolts have a shallow hex socket — there's simply less material around the drive recess. Under torque, that thin wall is the first thing to strip. Once it strips, the bolt is in and you can't get it out without drilling.
Pan head bolts have a deeper hex socket with substantially more material around it. That means a larger hex key engagement area, more torque before any risk of stripping, and a connection you can actually tighten with confidence. In a system that goes up once and stays up for years under real load, that's not a detail — it's the difference between a bolt you trust and one you're careful with.
We chose pan head because the installation should be straightforward, not stressful.
If you've ever mounted a full-motion TV, you can install VitaReach. Most people put up a typical 3–6 board system in an afternoon. You'll need a drill, a level, and a stud finder — everything else is in the kit. Installation videos are available online, and we offer a free consultation to help you plan your setup before you start. You might also need a rubber mallet for small adjustments, and something to cut aluminum 2020 extrusion if needed — any metal saw will do.
No. You'll use a few lag screws per stud — same as mounting a large TV. The holes are small and easy to patch if you ever remove the system.
Not a problem. The sectional aluminum frame spans across studs regardless of spacing. Send us your wall dimensions before you order and we'll confirm the right setup for you.
Yes — the installation is the same, but you'll need masonry anchors instead of the included wood screws. Masonry anchors vary by wall type and local building codes, so we recommend sourcing them locally. Get in touch before you order and we'll help you figure out what you need.
One kit per board. Count the boards you want on your wall — or send us your wall dimensions and we'll plan it with you.
Up to 50LB per kit, evenly distributed on both sides of the board. The slides are medium-duty ball-bearing over-travel slides rated to 100LB. For context: two cordless drills with batteries, an impact driver, four spare batteries, a hammer, a dozen screwdrivers and pliers, six small bar clamps, a tape measure, a square and levels come to about 38 lbs. In a craft room, 100 thread spools, 20 rolls of ribbon, four pairs of scissors, a rotary cutter, rulers, and a small parts drawer on the bottom shelf come to about 28 lbs.
Every fastener, bracket, and rail in the system has been independently calculated against NDS engineering standards with a 3× safety factor. See the full load analysis →
32" is the practical ceiling for a workbench-height system — and that's by design, not limitation. The logic comes straight from kitchen planning: base cabinets sit at 34–36"; there's an 18" gap to the wall cabinets. The wall cabinets themselves are 30" tall. That's 8 feet of total wall used, with the usable zone topping out at about 36" above the bench. Go higher, and you're either losing bench height, requiring a ladder, or both.
VitaReach pushes this a little farther — with the Cut-to-fit kit, the spine we provide is ~40". Where you attach it to your panel is up to you. Position the top arm a few inches below the panel's top edge and you gain extra space above the ergonomic zone. Think about it as extra storage with ladder access — still on a pull-out board, still better than a fixed wall. We still encourage keeping the main working zone within ~32". What you do above that is your call.
If you genuinely need to go higher — large commercial installs, warehouse shelving, very high ceilings — there are products built for that. Southwest Solutions makes sliding pegboard racks designed for that scale. We're not competing with them — different problem, different product.
Up to 22". The slide length sets your depth — 12", 14", 16", 18", 20", or 22". 16" is the comfortable sweet spot for most setups.
Yes — it all depends on your preferences. Use a front board addition where the front board and bottom shelf genuinely pay off — it's your daily visible layer, with easily accessible storage behind and a bottom shelf for anything that can't be hooked. Use open boards where you want maximum visibility and no width constraints.
We ship in packages of 1, 2 or 3 Pull-Out Board Kits. Standard parcel via UPS or FedEx, no freight, no oversize surcharges. Each package includes everything: a single kit comes with two 24" rails and 4 stud anchors; a double kit with two 36" rails and 6 stud anchors; a triple kit with two 48" rails and 8 stud anchors. Spine rails come pre-cut for IKEA SKÅDIS and metal pegboard kits; the Cut-to-fit kit ships them at ~40" — you cut to fit during installation. Cutting 2020 Aluminum Extrusion Profile →
Each kit includes: sectional 2020 aluminum wall frame extrusions and joiners, ball-bearing slides, all hardware to assemble the kit, all connection hardware, wood screws for stud mounting, and all hardware to add the matching front board (metal pegboard for metal pegboard kits, SKÅDIS for SKÅDIS kits) and a metal bottom shelf. Cut-to-fit kit: board connection bolts included when you enter your board thickness. Board not included.
Larger walls ship as several packages — a 6-board wall ships as two triple kits. Early Promotion orders ship free to the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia.
16% off every kit, applied automatically at checkout — no code needed. This is a limited early-run offer for customers who order while we're still in our first production run. Once it ends, it ends.
Frame rails ship at full length — we don't pre-cut them because we don't know your wall layout or stud locations until you do. Spine rails come pre-cut for IKEA SKÅDIS and metal pegboard kits. With the Cut-to-fit kit, they ship at full length because we don't know where your slides will land on your board. The right cut lengths only become clear during installation.
We ship to US addresses only. Made to order, ships within 5 business days.

Yes, completely. Remove the boards, unscrew the frame rails, patch the holes. The 2020 aluminum extrusions are built to reinstall many times without degradation — it's not a disposable product.
Yes. The sectional frame is designed to extend — add a new section to the existing rails and slot in additional kits. VitaReach is designed to grow with you, not lock you into one configuration forever.
Yes. Kits can be repositioned along the rails with basic tools — unscrew, slide, screw back. Spacing, order, and board type can all be changed after installation.
