Dewalt has launched a new ToughSystem-compatible rolling air tank.
The new Dewalt ToughSystem air tank has a 20 gallon capacity and 175 PSI max air pressure rating.
Features include large wheels, an extending handle, (4) quick couplers, regulated output, and pressure gauges for the tank and output.

Dewalt says that the air tank connects with your existing air compressor to help you get longer air tool runtimes.
Dewalt doesn’t make it clear, but the absence of latches or slots in the middle of the top plate suggests that only full-width ToughSystem tool boxes are compatible, possibly leaving out half-width boxes, organizers, and 20V Max powered accessories.
Price: $500
It looks like Dewalt took the air tank from their existing 20 gallon air compressor, and added a user control panel and custom top deck with new handles and ToughSystem plate.
There’s no mention of load capacity.
For context, Metabo HPT has a 10 gallon hand-carry air tank for $189 (via Amazon). The Dewalt 20 gallon 200 PSI air compressor is $700 (via Acme Tools).

This is pretty smart, if you want users in your system make it as easy as possible. Especially since Milwaukee doesn’t make any “real” compressors beyond the small one, could be a good entry tool for non-dewalt users to get them buying that system as well.
Was really surprised when Milwaukee launched their first rolling vacs and didn’t have packout compatibility but I see the new ones do now. Ridgid gets a little confusing who’s making what but would be smart of them to incorporate this type of setup in their vacs and compressors. Or even Husky now that they have storage.
TLDR everything with wheels made by brands with modular storage should be hookup ready.

Guess I’ll have to keep banging the drum for an actual compressor for the base of a complete air tool box and organizer stack.
