Why Truck & Trailer Tool Boxes are so Beneficial for Storage

Truck and trailer tool boxes come in all shapes and sizes to fit a variety of purposes or a huge variety of industries. From 40 litres to 180 litres, our range of vehicle toolboxes provide peace of mind when storing what is often the most valuable bit of kit on the truck. 

Robust, hardwearing, and fit for purpose, our partners at LAGO have over 60 years of experience in the truck and trailer accessories industry, and are committed in helping us to deliver the best possible products from toolboxes to mudguards. 

We know from experience that not all solutions are as durable as they should be, and often there’s a need for a bit of kit that can take the punishment in the toughest conditions and come out looking like new. 

 

The benefits of truck & trailer tool boxes

With tools coming at an expensive premium, protecting them and keeping them in great condition is essential to ensuring their longevity. Tool boxes of different shapes, sizes, and materials can house a huge variety of products, and with lightweight options designed to be installed quickly and easily can help you get set-up quickly too.

The benefits of a truck tool box can’t be overstated for all the ways they’re able to keep your investment safe. 

Durable & Resistant

With resistance and durability in mind, our storage solutions are a UV stabilised polyethylene that remains impact and shock resistant, with a dust and water resistant gasket to ensure contents are kept clean and dry. 

A multi-wall base is sturdy enough to withstand the elements and with keys and a keyhole cap as standard, keeping the tools locked away safely is a given. We recently took a look at how to prevent fuel theft, and there’s a great overlap with ensuring that tools are kept safely locked away too.

Improved organisation for gear

There’s nothing worse than going to grab a bit of kit only to find it’s not in its right place. A set of truck & trailer tool boxes will help to keep your tools well organised, and with larger capacity boxes available from our range, even the largest tools can be packed away. 

With an offering of shelf organisers also available, it’s easy to keep other accessories safely secured away too. 

A professional look

For those using their truck for business, a tool box has the added benefit of separating your personal truck for your work truck. A clean truck with a set of toolboxes presents a more professional and reliable appearance, along with the additional benefits of organisation, security, and durability. 

 

What to consider when choosing a truck tool box

Whilst providing a lot of great benefits, there are some considerations that come with choosing a truck & trailer tool box too, price, weight, durability all need to come into consideration, and are also a part of what makes many options so beneficial.

Material

Steel, aluminium, and plastic and the most common materials for truck tool boxes, and is an important factor to keep in mind. Steel boxes are more durable, but they’re heavy and more expensive. Aluminium tool boxes are lightweight and weather resistant, but can also come at a significant cost.

Plastic toolboxes are a fantastic all-rounder, bringing costs down compared to alternatives, but not compromising on durability. 

Security

For many the most important factor when it comes to picking a lock box is in the security features, our products feature a range of different security methods to keep your tools secure.

Ease of installation

Finding options that are painless to install has become much easier, modern mountain brackets for a variety of different types of toolboxes is especially important if they ever need to be taken on and off the truck.
