UWS designs and builds heavy-duty truck tool boxes and storage for tradespeople and truck owners. The line covers crossover and side-mount boxes, chest boxes, underbody boxes, transfer tanks and dog boxes. Every aluminum box is designed, fabricated and welded in Perry, Florida, with construction aimed at job-site abuse, road vibration and daily use.
UWS is a leading manufacturer and designer of truck tool boxes and truck accessories, and a Lippert brand. The company's focus is narrow and deliberate: storage that stands up to being opened and slammed shut dozens of times a day, loaded past what looks reasonable, and left outdoors in whatever weather the job brings. Its customers are electricians, plumbers, contractors, farmers, outdoorsmen and truck owners who treat a pickup as a working tool rather than transport.
The catalog covers the full range of bed storage. Crossover boxes sit across the bed behind the cab in single-lid, gull-wing, secure-lock and low-profile styles, so there is a fit whether the priority is capacity, rear visibility or working under a tonneau. Side-mount boxes mount along the bed rails and keep the bed floor free for cargo, while underbody boxes tuck beneath the frame rails of service bodies and flatbeds.
Beyond the bed, UWS makes portable chest boxes that move between vehicles and the shop, transfer tanks and combination tank-and-toolbox units for crews working away from fuel supply, and insulated, ventilated dog boxes for hunters and handlers.
Manufacturing sits at the centre of the brand's identity. Every UWS aluminum tool box is designed, fabricated and welded in Perry, Florida, by tradespeople with decades of experience, and the company's Rooted in Trades initiative is built around that connection to skilled manual work. Boxes use heavy-gauge aluminum, continuous welds at the seams, weather stripping to seal against rain and dust, and locking systems intended to resist tampering. The practical result is storage that keeps tools dry, organized and where they were left.

UWS | Tough. Reliable.
The package includes one truck fender tool box and two keys. Hardware (bolts, flat washers and nylock nuts) is not included and must be purchased separately.
No. Do not use this product for storing or transporting flammables, explosives, hazardous materials or hazardous waste, including gasoline, solvents, gunpowder, dynamite, propane tanks, acetylene tanks and cutting torches. Doing so creates a danger of explosion.
The manual does not specify a weight or capacity limit. You must never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended capacity for your truck bed.
The manual does not specify which vehicles, years, makes, models or bed lengths this tool box is designed for. Contact the manufacturer at 877.287.8634 or consult your dealer to confirm fitment for your specific truck.
The manual states that you must ensure the paddle handle clears the bed rail during installation. A custom shim may need to be placed under the tool box to allow the handle to be accessed. Verify clearance before drilling.
You must verify that the tool box lid opens properly during Step 1, before drilling any holes. Position the tool box on the bed and check lid operation. A custom shim may be needed to ensure proper clearance.
You will need: a drill, drill bit set (including 1/4" bit), ratchet, socket set, and tape measure. The manual lists these as required tools.
You must purchase bolts, flat washers and nylock nuts. The manual does not specify the exact size or quantity, but drilling creates 1/4" holes. Consult the torque specifications table (M6, M8, M10, M12 metric or 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2" SAE) to select appropriate hardware size.
Yes. You must remove the bottom two drawers from the tool box before installation. These drawers are re-installed after the tool box is mounted and secured.
The manual rates the installation difficulty as 'Easy' and does not require professional installation. However, you will need to drill into your truck bed, which requires care to avoid damaging brake lines, fuel lines, electrical wires or the fuel tank. If you are uncomfortable drilling, consult a professional.
Yes. You must drill 1/4" holes in the tool box (two on the lip mounting points and two on the base where drawers were removed) and corresponding 1/4" holes in the truck bed rail and bed. Drilling is permanent and cannot be avoided.
All holes are 1/4" diameter. You drill 1/4" holes in the tool box at two locations on the lip of the bed rail and two locations on the base (where drawers were removed). You then use these holes to mark and drill corresponding 1/4" holes in the truck bed.
Before drilling, check under your vehicle to ensure the drill location does not puncture, cut or obstruct any brake or fuel fluid lines, electrical wires, fuel tanks or other components. Take precaution that all fasteners near the fuel tank do not create the possibility of fuel tank puncture or other damage during a collision.
Yes. You must treat or seal all fasteners and exposed metal in any holes drilled in the vehicle to prevent corrosion. This protects your investment and prevents rust.
Torque specifications depend on bolt size. Metric: M6 = 3 ft-lbs, M8 = 7 ft-lbs, M10 = 16 ft-lbs, M12 = 28 ft-lbs. SAE: 1/4" = 3 ft-lbs, 5/16" = 7 ft-lbs, 3/8" = 16 ft-lbs, 7/16" = 20 ft-lbs, 1/2" = 28 ft-lbs. These are general guidelines; if purchasing hardware, use the torque specifications provided with that hardware.
The torque specification for a 1/4" SAE bolt is 3 ft-lbs. This is a general guideline; if your hardware came with its own torque specifications, use those instead.
The tool box has four mounting points: two on the lip of the bed rail and two on the base of the tool box (where the bottom two drawers were removed). Each mounting point requires one bolt, flat washer and nylock nut.
1. Drill 1/4" holes in the tool box at the two bed rail lip locations and two base locations. 2. Mark the truck bed and bed rail using the drilled tool box holes. 3. Remove the tool box and drill 1/4" holes in the truck bed and bed rail. 4. Align the tool box holes with the truck holes. 5. Insert one bolt and flat washer through each tool box hole. 6. Secure each bolt with a flat washer and nylock nut on the underside. 7. Tighten all hardware to the recommended torque specifications. 8. Re-install the bottom two drawer slides.
The manual instructs you to tighten all hardware to the recommended torque specifications after all bolts are inserted. It does not specify a gradual or cross-pattern tightening sequence.
Yes. The product can reduce the driver's ability to clearly see roadways, vehicular or pedestrian traffic and other objects through the rear and side windows of the vehicle, which may cause an accident. Extra precaution should be taken when driving a vehicle with this product.
No. Do not interfere with factory-installed safety equipment. Ensure the tool box is positioned and mounted so it does not obstruct or damage any factory safety systems.
Ensure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps and locks are firmly secured before every trip. Periodically re-tighten and inspect all components for signs of wear, corrosion and fatigue. With the tool box installed, periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight.
Use mild automotive detergent to clean the product. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes or other similar products that may damage the finish. For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs.
The manual does not specify an exact re-tightening interval, only that periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. Inspect before every trip and re-tighten as needed.
The manual does not specify vehicle fitment. Contact the manufacturer at 877.287.8634 or consult your dealer to confirm compatibility with your truck year, make, model and bed length.
Tools: drill, drill bit set (1/4" bit), ratchet, socket set, tape measure. Hardware (not included): bolts, flat washers and nylock nuts. Consult the torque specifications table to select appropriate bolt sizes.
Use the torque specifications table on page 1. For 1/4" SAE bolts: 3 ft-lbs. For other sizes, refer to the table. These are general guidelines; use hardware-specific torque specs if provided.
Do not store flammables or explosives. Do not exceed vehicle capacity. The tool box may reduce rear and side visibility; use extra caution when driving. Do not interfere with factory safety equipment. Treat drilled holes to prevent corrosion.
Before every trip, ensure all bolts, knobs, screws, straps and locks are firmly secured. Periodically re-tighten and inspect for wear, corrosion and fatigue. Clean with mild automotive detergent; do not use abrasive cleaners or wire brushes.
