Drop-Front Steel Chests

Open out instead of up—originally designed to mount under truck beds, these chests work where there’s little vertical space. Made of steel, they’re strong and durable, and they have a powder coating to prevent rust. To keep out dust and moisture, the door has a gasket around the rim. An integrated lock protects against theft.

Front-Loading Heavy Duty Steel Chests


Style A	Style B

Replacement Gas Springs	Replacement Gas Springs

Push or roll heavy equipment straight into these chests. The front opens and a ramp extends, so you don’t need to lift anything over the side. Also known as job boxes, these chests are built for the demands of your site—they’re made from durable steel that’s powder-coated to resist rust. To prevent break-ins, the padlock shackle is fully concealed. Slide your forklift’s forks into the pockets on the bottom to move them. You can lift them from any side.

To add electricity directly inside these chests, punch out the knockouts and install the included weatherproof grommet.

Add casters (sold separately) to make chests mobile.

Style A

Style A can also be moved with a crane and other lifting equipment using lifting brackets (sold separately).
