TRADESMAN
Damage courtesy of Contics Tradesman easier. That lid, by the way, can be braced in a level position to make the top into a work surface for print reading.
Jobox cabinets feature a foot-operated latching mechanism that can be used to open the doors while both arms are full of equipment. Those doors are three inches thick and formed all around to prevent unauthorized entry with a crowbar. Don't get the idea that the doors are bank vault style, however. The depth is put to good use inside with door shelves and added storage up to 17 linear feet. Three 5/8-inch locking pins in the center post secure the doors and should keep in what you want to stay in.
Both Knaack and Jobox offer heavy casters to move the chests and cabinets if the site allows rolling, which might be optimal on interior work. Most exterior sites will probably require the forklift approach to relocate the storage.
Safety Yellow, too. IF YOU WANT to brighten up that job, maybe the job site boxes from Contico's Tradesman line will be your pick. The bright yellow storage chests are powder-coated so the color will last assuming some care is taken in washing off the mud. Contico, St. Louis, Mo., is perhaps better known for its line of truck bed storage but their job site boxes are a good buy, too. They feature self-enclosed hinge systems and recessed padlock inlets for maximum security, convenient fold-down, recessed side handles, open-ended legs for forklift transportation, and rugged 16-gauge steel. Capacities of the two boxes in the line are approximately 6 cu. ft. and 18.5 cu. ft. No, it's not nearly as complete a line as the others but they sure do cheer up the site with that yellow color!
