Why
diamond plate aluminum instead of painted steel for Truck Tool Boxes?
Have you ever seen a painted steel pickup truck tool box
after a few years' hard use? Scratches become rust stripes, and you'll
eventually find yourself sanding, priming, and painting your truck toolbox. This is why we only sell aluminum diamond plate tool boxes. If maintenance
is what you want, buy steel. Some argue that "steel is stronger than
aluminum." Sure it is...if you're building a bridge! Aluminum diamond
plate is a thick, rugged and durable material, preferred by professionals
everywhere for truck tool boxes. How resistant to damage is thin, painted steel sheet metal?
Some department store boxes may seem attractive at first, but if you look more carefully you'll see the difference between those truck tool boxes, and every aluminum diamond plate truck tool box we offer. Our full lid crossover truck tool boxes for example, have a lid design that offers more than meets the eye.
Full Lid Cross Section
Our Truck tool Box Lids have three separate stiffeners for enduring strength, with a layer of rigid foam insulation. The full inner lid stiffener completely covers the inside of the lid with a smooth clean look while adding strength. Take that! You flimsy department store junk! Besides the spectacular sandwich lid design of full lid boxes, our crossover pickup truck tool boxes offer a multipurpose tool holder, not just a screwdriver rack like most others. It has a variety of hole sizes to accommodate various tools, and it's welded, not just riveted, for years of service. Our standard diamond plate crossover tool boxes have a large, durable plastic injection molded tray (approximately 19"x17") with 5 separate compartments for smaller items.
This tray, (which you'll use all the time), is 3" deep - almost twice the depth of most others. Additional trays are available.
Available in bright finish, or with a thick, glossy, black or white powder coat finish, our diamond plate truck tool boxes all are fully welded, not just
riveted, adding strength, durability, and a cleaner appearance. Rivets
(alone) are used only on lock assemblies so in the rare case of a lock
failure, it can be removed for easy replacement. All replacement parts
are for our pickup truck toolboxes always in stock.
Gas shocks create a smooth, self-opening lid on nearly every type of diamond plate truck tool box that we sell.
