UWS wedge utility chest boxes provide unbeatable storage and security for your items in the bed of your truck and on the jobsite. Each box features a corrosion-resistant aluminum construction, a stainless steel locking system and a patented RigidCore foam-filled lid -- all to keep your equipment and valuables safe, well-organized and easily accessible whenever needed. This particular tool box features a wedged design to optimize storage space without obstructing other accessories in the truck bed, including the wheel wells. Each UWS truck tool box is constructed from extra-thick aluminum for increased structural strength. The tub is welded together into a single piece for weather resistance and to easily hold heavy tools and other items. The lid features a patented foam core, sandwiched between two aluminum plates. This core greatly increases the rigidity of the lid and helps prevent bending and warping, making operation very smooth. The locking mechanism of the UWS truck tool box provides excellent security for your items, featuring a stainless steel, key-operated paddle handle. Stainless steel construction supplies the lock with long-lasting corrosion resistance. For solid protection against the elements, the lid also has a MicroSeal gasket, blocking moisture, dust and insects from getting inside and damaging your valuables. The lid also opens a full 90 degrees for easier access, and it is equipped with self-opening struts for convenient operation when your hands are full. UWS utility chest boxes are available in multiple sizes to accommodate any storage need. Like all UWS products, each one is proudly assembled right here in the USA for style and long-lasting dependability (NOTE: This product is heavily packaged for parcel shipping).
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 utility chest box includes the chest box itself, two keys, and a mounting hardware kit (though not all models include the hardware kit—you may need to purchase your own). The manual recommends verifying what is included with your specific purchase.
The installation is rated as Easy. However, this assumes you have the proper tools (drill, drill bits, ratchet, socket set, tape measure, level) and follow all safety precautions, particularly checking for brake lines, fuel lines and electrical wires before drilling.
The manual does not specify which truck models, years, bed lengths or cab styles this chest box fits. Before purchasing, contact the manufacturer or your dealer to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
Yes, but the plastic drop-in bed liner may need to be trimmed or cut for proper attachment of the chest box. Plan to modify the liner as needed during installation.
You will need: a drill, 1/2" drill bit, 11/32" drill bit, ratchet, socket set, and tape measure. A level is also recommended. If you do not have these tools, consider renting or borrowing them before beginning installation.
Not all models include a mounting hardware kit. Check your product packaging to confirm what is included. If hardware is not included, you will need to purchase two 5/16" or M8 bolts, four washers, and two lock nuts, or use the optional mounting hardware kit #003-CBOXMK (which requires a 1/2" drill bit instead of 11/32").
Before drilling, check under your vehicle to ensure the drill location does not puncture, cut or obstruct any brake lines, fuel lines, electrical wires, fuel tanks or other components. Take special precaution that fasteners near the fuel tank do not create the possibility of fuel tank puncture or other damage during a collision.
Place the chest box in your desired location and check that the lid operates properly. Select two mounting points in the bottom of the chest box that are aligned with the raised ribs in your truck bed. These ribs provide structural support for secure mounting.
Use an 11/32" drill bit to drill through the chest box and truck bed. However, if you are using the optional mounting hardware kit #003-CBOXMK, enlarge the holes in the truck bed with a 1/2" drill bit instead and follow the instructions included with that kit.
Yes. You must drill through the chest box and truck bed to secure the mounting points. The manual requires drilling with either an 11/32" bit (for standard hardware) or a 1/2" bit (if using the optional #003-CBOXMK hardware kit).
The recommended torque for 5/16" SAE bolts is 7 ft-lbs. The manual notes that these are general guidelines; if you purchase hardware separately, use the torque specifications provided with that hardware.
The recommended torque for M8 metric bolts is 7 ft-lbs. The manual notes that these are general guidelines; if you purchase hardware separately, use the torque specifications provided with that hardware.
Drill through the chest box and truck bed with an 11/32" drill bit at two mounting points aligned with the truck bed ribs. Install two 5/16" or M8 bolts, four washers and two lock nuts through the bottom of the chest box and truck bed. Tighten all fasteners to the recommended torque values (7 ft-lbs for 5/16" or M8 bolts). Use silicone-type caulk to fill any open areas around the bolt flat washer or bonded washer inside the chest box to prevent water seepage.
Yes. Use silicone-type caulk as needed to fill in any open areas around the bolt flat washer or bonded washer inside the chest box to prevent water from seeping into the chest box.
The chest box comes with adjustable strikers. If the strikers are ever out of alignment, simply loosen, adjust and re-tighten them. Periodically lubricate the strikers and locks to ensure optimum performance.
Do not use this product for storing or transporting flammables, explosives, hazardous materials or hazardous waste, such as containers of gasoline, solvents, gun powder, dynamite, propane tanks, acetylene tanks and cutting torches. Danger of explosion.
The manual does not specify a weight capacity. Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended capacity for your truck bed. Contact the manufacturer or your dealer for the specific capacity of this chest box.
Yes. This 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 installed.
No. Never modify this product. Do not use this product for purposes other than those for which it was designed. Consult your dealer if you have any questions regarding the installation, operation, use and limits of the product.
Yes. Treat or seal all fasteners and exposed metal in any holes drilled in the vehicle to prevent corrosion. This is especially important for fasteners near the fuel tank.
Ensure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps and locks are firmly secured. Verify that the lid operates properly. Check that all mounting hardware is tight and properly torqued to specification.
Periodically inspect all mounting hardware to ensure it remains tight. Periodically lubricate the strikers and locks to ensure optimum performance. For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs. Clean with mild automotive detergent. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes or other similar products that may damage the finish.
The manual recommends periodic re-tightening and inspection of all components for signs of wear, corrosion and fatigue. Ensure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps and locks are firmly secured before every trip.
The manual does not specify truck models or bed lengths. Contact the manufacturer or your dealer to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
You need a drill, 11/32" and 1/2" drill bits, ratchet, socket set, tape measure, and silicone caulk. Hardware includes two 5/16" or M8 bolts, four washers, two lock nuts, or the optional kit #003-CBOXMK (not all models include hardware).
