Fixed Mount for 1693EL Small Parts Organizer

If the bay is dedicated to e-bike service, the workflow looks the same every day. The stand stays in the same spot. The torque wrench comes off the same rack. The diagnostics tablet sits at the same height. In that workspace, the small-parts bin doesn't need to fold out of the way; it needs to be in the same place every time you reach for it. The 1693EL.9 Fixed Small Parts Mount is the fixed-position version of the parts-bin holder, mounted directly to the 1693EL stand column.

How it sits relative to the work

The 1693EL.9 mounts hard to the stand column without a folding arm, sitting close enough to the column that it doesn't pivot during a lift cycle. The bin sits in a constant position relative to the stand head, so the muscle memory you build for which screws went where stays useful job after job. The 500 mm folding arm of the 1693EL.3 is for bays that need to pull the bin clear; the 1693EL.9 is for bays where the bin is always where you left it.

What it holds

The 1693EL.9 holds plastic parts boxes from the Unior catalog. The boxes are sold separately and come in several sizes, so the array can be tuned to the work; small boxes for M3/M4 fasteners, larger boxes for spacers and shims, the largest for full hardware kits coming out of a motor service.

If you run a mixed-use bay where the stand sometimes does non-e-bike work, the folding 1693EL.3 is the better buy. If the e-bike service is the steady state, the fixed mount is one less moving part.

Built in Zreče, Slovenia

Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and is the official technical partner of multiple World Tour and downhill teams. The 1693EL.9 is the simplest of the column accessories, which is the point; the design choice that makes it work is the absence of moving parts. The mount is a fixed bracket; the bin slots in. Nothing rotates, nothing folds, and the muscle memory you build for which bin holds which screws transfers across every job that hits the same stand.

Pro tip from our mechanics

The fixed-versus-folding decision usually comes down to whether the stand moves day to day. In our experience, a fixed parts mount in a dedicated bay outlasts a folding mount in the same role; folding hardware has a finite life cycle, and the fixed bracket has none of that to worry about.
