DEWALT Heavy-Duty Aluminum Boxes and Steel Racks for Jobsite Vehicles


DEWALT

BALTIMORE, MD - DEWALT offers its new line of heavy-duty commercial rack, storage and carrier solutions for professional contractors and tradesmen. The latest addition to the DEWALT line includes more than 60 aluminum boxes and an assortment of fully adjustable steel and aluminum racks for jobsite vehicles.  Available in March 2009, D EWALT's new line of products will be licensed by Thule, a world leader in manufacturing durable and innovative vehicle carrying solutions that are backed by a lifetime warranty.  The DEWALT truck boxes and racks will offer professional contractors and tradesmen increased durability, strength and security while transporting tools, equipment and materials to and from the jobsite.

Truck Boxes
The DEWALT industrial grade truck boxes are built using a one-piece base that increases the over-all strength of the box. This one-piece design helps to prevent structural collapse of the box over time. These boxes are designed with a patented, fully foamed lid that provides a solid insulated core for added strength and rigidity. For increased security, each box has an enclosed locking mechanism to prevent bending or jamming of the locking system.  Additionally, the dual lift struts automatically opens the lid to a full 90 degrees providing users with easier access to tools and equipment. 

DEWALT's industrial grade truck boxes have many additional features for increased strength and durability. Each box is made of thick .080" grade aluminum and includes over-sized push button locks for one-hand access and key lock protection.  Additionally, DEWALT equipped the boxes with a ToughCoat tub and lid liner to reduce cargo damage, eliminate dust and increase box durability. 

DEWALT truck boxes are available in many sizes and styles which can be mounted in different locations in the bed of the truck. 

Industrial Grade Steel Truck Racks
The DEWALT heavy-duty industrial grade steel racks carry up to 1,800 pounds safely and securely through its heavy-duty SteelTruss load supports that connect the rail, cross and leg bars.  Designed with two-inch square steel tubing, these racks are more robust, offering 20 percent more steel than traditional round tubing.  For increased durability, the racks are equipped with double load bars that carry up to 40 percent more load than traditional single bars.  A full length bed rail increases the bed wall's strength and capacity. The racks are secured by an innovative bracket support system which optimizes the stability of the rack.
