Toolboxes and storage boxes for platform trucks

Tool boxes for flatbed vehicles are a central component of modern commercial vehicle equipment. They provide protected storage space, structured drains and secure storage of tools, materials and accessories. A reliable and durable storage solution is indispensable, especially for professional use, for example in the trades, construction industry, service sector or municipal vehicles.

The toolboxes and storage boxes for flatbed vehicles presented here cover an exceptionally wide range of sizes, designs and areas of application. From compact, flat toolboxes to large, heavy-duty storage boxes, solutions are available for almost every installation situation and every vehicle concept.

Toolboxes for flatbeds – developed for professional vehicle use

All toolboxes are made from high-quality HD-PE plastic (polyethylene). This material is impact-resistant, corrosion-free and permanently resistant to moisture, road salt and UV radiation. This makes the storage boxes ideal for long-term outdoor use, even under demanding weather conditions.

A major advantage for commercial use is the tested safety. All models have general type approval and are approved as underride guards in accordance with EEC 89/297. They also comply with the international regulation ECE-R73. This means that the toolboxes can be used on public roads in a legally compliant manner and meet all relevant legal requirements.

Variety of dimensions and designs

Platform vehicles differ greatly in terms of body, length, frame height and space. The range of toolboxes is correspondingly versatile. Different widths, depths and heights allow for custom-fit storage solutions that make optimum use of the available space.

Flat tool boxes for limited installation heights

Flat toolboxes are ideal for vehicles with limited installation height or for side mounting where other vehicle components need to be taken into account. Despite their compact design, these models offer sufficient space for hand tools, lashing equipment or accessories and enable space-saving integration on the flatbed.

Slim and high storage boxes for vertical space utilization

With limited width on the side of the vehicle, narrow, high toolboxes offer an efficient solution. This design utilizes the available space at the height and enables a surprisingly large storage volume on a small footprint. This variant is particularly popular for service and assembly vehicles.

Deep storage boxes are available for applications with increased space requirements. They are ideal for bulky tools, machine accessories or extensive material equipment. The large depth enables clear storage of even larger items.

Wide large-space toolboxes

Wide models extend over a large part of the vehicle side and offer plenty of storage space. They are ideal for long tools, large devices or extensive equipment and are often used in service, construction and assembly vehicles.

Comparison and selection guide: which toolbox is right for you

Choosing the right toolbox depends on several factors. The following guide will help you decide on a suitable storage solution.

1. available installation space on the flatbed

First of all, the available space on the platform should be analyzed. If the installation height is limited, flat toolboxes are a good option. If the width is restricted, narrow, high models make sense. If there is sufficient space available, wide or deep storage boxes can be used.

2. type of tools and materials to be stored

Classic hand tools can be stored in almost any toolbox. Large-volume models are recommended for bulky tools, machine accessories or consumables. Special heavy-duty toolboxes with a non-slip base and sturdy holder are suitable for batteries or power units.

3. weight and load

For heavy contents, ensure a robust construction and secure locking mechanism. Models with 3-point locking offer additional security and are suitable for demanding applications with heavy loads.

4. vehicle type and mounting concept

Depending on the vehicle, universal or vehicle-specific tool kits may be the better choice. Adapted models enable a particularly precise fit and make optimum use of the available installation space.

Safe locking and durable construction

All toolboxes are equipped with high-quality fittings. Hinges and rivets made of weatherproof V2A stainless steel ensure a durable, torsion-resistant construction. Depending on the design, 2-point or 3-point locks are used, which ensure secure closure even when heavily loaded.

The latches are fitted with protective caps and are therefore reliably protected against dirt, splash water and the effects of the weather. This contributes significantly to the long service life of the tool boxes.

Special toolboxes for special requirements

In addition to classic storage solutions, the range also includes special versions for special applications. These include heavy-duty toolboxes, which are designed for batteries, power storage units or gensets. A flat, non-slip base and integrated brackets ensure a secure hold even with heavy weights.

Vehicle-specific toolboxes are also available, which are tailored to specific flatbed vehicles. These solutions enable particularly clean integration and make installation easier.

Optional accessories for maximum flexibility

An extensive range of accessories is available for optimum adaptation to different vehicles and applications. These include brackets for mounting on the vehicle, suitable mounting material and drawers with all-round edge for structured interior partitioning.

Many models can also be equipped with extendable retaining ropes that limit the lid opening to 90 degrees. This increases ease of use and prevents uncontrolled opening of the lid.

Application areas of toolboxes for flatbed vehicles

The robust design and wide range of variants make the toolboxes suitable for numerous areas of application. These include trade businesses, construction companies, service and maintenance vehicles, municipal fleets and special vehicles.

Even with individually designed vehicle concepts, several toolboxes can be combined to make optimum use of storage space and to organize work materials in a clear way.

A high-quality toolbox for the flatbed is a long-term investment. The hard-wearing materials, tested underride guard approval and durable construction ensure that the storage solutions can be used reliably for many years to come.

At the same time, clean and structured storage of tools and materials contributes to work safety and efficiency in daily use.

Conclusion

The toolboxes for flatbed vehicles offer a sophisticated combination of stability, safety and flexibility. Thanks to the large selection of dimensions, designs and equipment variants, suitable storage space solutions can be realized for almost any requirement. Whether compact, large-volume or as a heavy-duty variant, the toolboxes are optimally tailored to professional vehicle use and meet the highest standards of quality and functionality.
