Storage / Aluminium Truck & Ute Boxes

Safely secure your tools and equipment both on and off the jobsite, with a lockable steel tool box from our wide range of brands, configurations and volumes. Made from the toughest materials, a metal tool box from Sydney Tools is built to last. 

Our weather resistant aluminium ute boxes are suitable for worksites, camping, fishing or even safe storage of your household valuables. It doesn’t matter whether you drive a ute, van, truck, SUV or use a trailer we’re bound to have the perfect storage solution to help organise and keep your tools yours.

Why You Need A Steel Tool Box For Your Ute

Mobile storage logistics can be difficult to get under control, especially when you are on the go for work every day. The solution to your problem is a rigid checker plate tool box for your vehicle, because why wouldn’t you protect the tools that keep your business going? Easily mounted onto the tray of a ute or in the back of a van, these lockable and secure units will make security simple.

We carry many different lines of storage solutions from trusted brands like Milwaukee, Makita and Daytona. All in one units for the workshop are a great alternative to stand alone storage units. We understand that maximising your work and storage areas is imperative, especially if you are expanding your business. Two-in-one workbench and storage containers will save you space, time and money.

Tool bags can be a great lighter-weight and more portable alternative to the more traditional heavier metal and alloy tool boxes. Make it easy to transfer tools from your at home or workshop storage units to take them on smaller less complicated jobs.

Trailer tool boxes now have compartments just like the trusty old tool trolley cabinets that you use to house your tools in at the workshop or back shed. Every tool has a spot to live, so hopefully nothing will ever go missing again.
