It is 36\" long, 19\" deep and 18\" tall, holding 6.9ft³ behind a lockable folding T-handle. The door drops down on stainless steel cables so the whole opening is in front of you at waist height. The tub is one-piece 0.058\" aluminum, so there is no seam along the floor and nothing to rust when the finish gets chipped by road debris, and the MicroSeal gasket keeps spray and grit out of a box that lives directly in the weather. Finished in gloss black powder coat. Two keys are in the carton; mounting brackets and hardware are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS 36\" underbody truck tool box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUWS Underbody Tool Boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUWS's film on the underbody line: boxes that hang below the deck of a flatbed, dump body or trailer so the deck itself stays clear for work.

Mount it clear of the wheels, the suspension travel, the fuel tank, the exhaust and anything that swings, and remember a dump body's hoist needs room. Brackets and hardware are not included and must be at least 1\/4\" steel with the underside of the box supported.

Check under the deck for brake lines, fuel lines, wiring and the fuel tank before you drill anything. UWS is explicit that a tool box is not a place for flammables or hazardous material, so no fuel cans, solvents, propane or cutting torches.

The aluminum boxes in this line are designed, fabricated and welded in Florida rather than assembled from imported panels, and the tub is formed from one piece of extra-thick aluminum so there is no seam along the floor of the box for water to work its way into. UWS is part of the CURT Group, a Lippert company, which is what puts a national warranty and a real replacement-parts program behind a box that is still built in a single plant. Handles, gas struts, lid gaskets, striker brackets and keys are all cataloged parts you can buy years later, which is the practical difference between a box you repair and a box you replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn underbody box is the only kind of storage that costs a flatbed nothing at all, because it lives in the space between the deck and the road that was doing no work anyway. That position is also the harshest one on the truck: constant spray, salt, stones and vibration. Aluminum is the reason this box tolerates it. There is no steel to rust from a stone chip, and at 32.200 lb it adds far less to the payload than the equivalent steel box. UWS is specific about the mounting: brackets should be at least 1\/4\" steel and the underside of the box has to be supported, not left hanging on its flanges.\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":48935709081844,"sku":"UWSTBUB-36-BLK","price":880.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-tbub-36-blk-hero-front-three-quarter-studio-view-on-white.webp?v=1785301216","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-36-in-underbody-truck-tool-box-single-door-gloss-black-aluminum-tbub-36-blk","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
