It measures 30\" long, 19\" deep and 18\" tall for 5.7ft³ of storage. The door opens a full 90 degrees and is held by stainless steel aircraft cables, a lockable T-handle give one-hand access, and a 1\" drip rail runs right around the door opening so water sheds clear instead of running into the box. The MicroSeal gasket does the rest. The matte black powder coat resists corrosion and scratches. Two keys are in the carton; mounting hardware is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS 30\" steel underbody tool box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tCU_AeW7k_o\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra-Thick 14-Gauge Steel Tub\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the reason to choose steel over aluminum.

Most of the UWS catalog is aluminum and welded in Florida. This steel underbody line is the exception and UWS says so plainly: it is designed in the USA and imported from Mexico, because a 14-gauge steel service-body box is a different product built for a different job. The trade-off is deliberate. Steel costs you weight and it wants the finish kept intact, and in exchange you get a tub that shrugs off the kind of loading and abuse that lives under a dump body or a flatbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything about this box is sized for a work body rather than a pickup. The 14-gauge steel tub carries heavy, awkward, sharp-edged cargo without complaint. The door opens the full 90 degrees so you are not fishing past a half-open lid, and the 1\" drip rail encircling the opening is the detail that separates a service-body box from a consumer one: it stops the water running off the deck above from finding its way over the door seal. UWS ships the box on its own and expects the up-fitter to supply the mount, which is why the matching UWS L-brackets are a separate part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. Every box we ship is new and in the factory carton, covered by the full UWS factory warranty, and backed by the UWS replacement-parts program if a handle, strut, gasket or key ever needs renewing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48935533641972,"sku":"UWSST-TBUB-30-MB","price":374.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-st-tbub-30-mb-hero-front-three-quarter-studio-view-on-white.webp?v=1785299160","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-30-in-steel-underbody-tool-box-matte-black-single-door-st-tbub-30-mb","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
