Here is a review of toolboxes for flatbed and drop deck semi-trailers
Storage boxes for flatbed semi-trailers are useful for storing straps, chains, binders, wheel chocks, extra tools, and roadside equipment like emergency flairs and triangles.
Utility Keystone carries toolboxes manufactured by AEROBOX™, Buyers Products Company ™ & STURDY-LIGHT™.
Toolboxes for Flatbeds
Toolboxes for flatbeds are available in various sizes and dimensions and are typically mounted between the dolly legs and front axle.
Height x Depth:
18” x 18”, 18” x 24”, 24” x 24”
Length:
48”, 52”, and 60”
Toolboxes for Drop Decks
Because drop deck trailers can only use low-profile toolboxes, you are more limited in size and dimensions.
Height x Depth:
18” x 18”
Lengths:
48’ up to 60”, depending on the spread of your axles.
* These boxes are mounted between the spread axles.
Toolbox Options
Each toolbox manufacturer offers a mounting kit for their boxes.
Available options on toolboxes for both flatbeds and drop deck trailers include:
Stainless steel keeps its shiny new look and won’t oxidize, but it is more expensive than aluminum
HANDLES:
Available with a T-Handle, or a Cam Loc, similar to the lock rod setup on the back of trailers.
DOORS:
Available with two doors or a single door.
