Description & Fitment
The ATB A-CG51 side-open cargo box is a long, high-capacity aluminum box for under a trailer deck or the back of a truck, with doors that swing open to the side. ATB builds it from .125 aluminum with a smooth body, diamond tread doors, stainless-steel continuous hinges and a lockable dolphin tail T-handle latch. Three sizes run from 72" to 101" deep, and the 36"-wide box has double doors.
Fitment & Compatibility
How to choose: measure the clear length under the deck or on the frame for depth (72" to 101"), then the drop below the deck for height and the room you have for width.
Leave swing room beside the box for the side-open door. ATB offers optional gas springs and a full-length shelf; contact us before you order.
Fits: Under a trailer deck or truck body (check length, drop and width)

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my trailer?
Fit is by space, not by model: compare the clear length, drop and width under your deck with the sizes in the table.
How do I measure for an A-CG51 cargo box?
Sizes read height x depth x width. Depth is the long side (72" to 101") that runs along the trailer or truck; measure the clear space under the deck or on the frame, plus room for the side-open door to open.
Is a mounting kit included?
No. ATB lists its M2600UD under-deck/trailer brackets for this box and the M3452C kit for frame mounting; both are sold separately.
How many locks does it have?
One. ATB fits a single lockable stainless-steel dolphin tail T-handle latch on boxes under 38" wide, which covers every size on this page.
Is the box weather sealed?
Yes. ATB builds in a fully concealed rain gutter with an automotive weather seal around the door opening.
Can I get a smooth or mirror door, or a custom size?
ATB's standard door is diamond tread; smooth or mirror doors, steel construction and custom sizes are made to order. Contact us for a quote.
Installation
- 3/4" ratchet wrench
- 3/4" wrench
- Tape measure
- Drill with 1/2" bit
- Two clamps
- Blocks
Here's the short version. Follow ATB's install sheet (below) for your truck's exact positions and hardware.
- Check all parts against the parts list and make sure there is room to mount the box.
- Move the cargo box to its underbody position to check it fits there.
- Move the box aside. Put a washer and locknut on each rod and tighten until the thread shows 1/4" past the nut. Slide each rod through a top bracket and fit the top clamp bracket between the trailer I-beams. Do this for all brackets before going on.
- Set the outside brackets as far out on the trailer as possible and one in the center (ATB: three bracket sets for 750 lbs., five for 1250 lbs.).
- Fit the top bracket and top center clamp, insert the bolt with a washer on both ends and secure it with a nylon lock nut, then secure the nut on the rod.
- Move the box into position and block it in place.
