Stays Loaded
Garage to car to destination and back. No repacking, no parking-lot reshuffles.
Stacks 3-High
Bins nest and stack three high, still packed, so each activity keeps its own bin.
Collapsible
Empty, the walls collapse flat — so an unused bin takes almost no room in the car or on the shelf.
Drops Into Place
Feet drop into matching recesses in the SmartDeck. Nothing to latch, nothing to line up — set it down and it holds.
Highlights
Pack once. Stack in the garage. Roll everywhere.
The Garage Sorts Itself
Beach bin, sideline bin, camp bin — three high against the wall, each still packed from last time. Grab one and go.
Straight to the Destination
Out of the garage, into the car, onto the deck. Nothing gets unpacked in between.
Collapses Flat
Empty it and the walls collapse flat. Stack the empties, or leave one collapsed on the SmartDeck and fold the whole Hauler around it.
Pick Your Kit
Large holds 100 liters. Small holds 40 liters. Run two Larges, a Large and a Small, or three of whatever the day calls for.
What Actually Fits
One Large SmartBin takes the whole practice — four balls in the mesh bag, a stack of cones, a tote, water bottles, and the football for sideline fun.
Built to Get Wet
Tough, durable and water resistant. Wet towels, sandy shoes and a leaking juice box all ride home in the bin instead of on your seats.
It Seats Itself
Feet drop into matching recesses in the SmartDeck. No latch to close, no clip to line up — set it down and gravity does the rest.

Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Large and Small SmartBin?
The Large SmartBin holds 100 liters, while the Small SmartBin holds 40 liters. Both stack three high, both collapse flat and both seat onto the same SmartDeck. Two Small SmartBins can fit atop one Large SmartBin. Most families start with one Large for the bulky days—beach, camping—and add a Small for the kit that never changes like sideline gear or the dog's things.
Do I have to use SmartBins, or can I use bins I already own instead?
Hauler's SmartDeck is designed to work with standard storage totes—Rubbermaid, Sterilite and the like. What they do not do is seat into the SmartDeck recesses, stack three high with each other or collapse. If you already have totes, start there; the SmartBin is what you buy when you want a bin that's part of the system rather than just cargo.
How many SmartBins do I need?
Your Hauler comes with one Large SmartBin, and for most people that's the whole answer for the first season—one bin, packed for whatever you do most. The second bin is what changes how you use it: once the beach kit and the sideline kit each have their own, neither ever needs to be unpacked to make room for the other. Bins stack three high, so three is the practical ceiling on one Hauler. Large and Small mix—a Large for bulky gear with a Small on top for the things you want on hand.
Does the SmartBin come with a lid?
SmartBins are open-topped, so you can drop gear in and pull it out freely. The bin's walls hold the load, and a bungee keeps it in place on the move (two come with the Hauler, and the Bungee Kit adds a longer pair for stacks two- and three-high). If you want a lid, the Tabletop for SmartBin does the job while giving you a surface to set things on. Nothing about the bin requires one: bins nest and stack three high with or without it, empty or packed.
What is the weight capacity of the SmartBin?
A Large SmartBin takes 100 lbs on its own—50 lbs if it's the second bin in a stack, 25 lbs if it's the third. A Small SmartBin takes 50 lbs, or 25 lbs on a third tier. What governs the whole load is the Hauler frame, rated to pull up to 500 lbs, or push up to 300 lbs on smooth, hard, flat ground. That figure covers everything on the Hauler at once, bins and SmartDeck together. Pack heavy things low, put the heaviest bin at the bottom and secure two- and three-high stacks with the large bungees from the Bungee Kit.
Does the SmartBin work with my Cruiser?
No. The SmartBin is built for the Hauler's SmartDeck and seats into its recesses. It is not a Cruiser accessory. If you own both, the bin travels with the Hauler.
