{"product_id":"uws-48-in-single-door-underbody-tool-box-bright-aluminum-ec40101","title":"UWS 48\" Single-Door Underbody Tool Box, Bright Aluminum (EC40101)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis UWS underbody tool box bolts beneath the deck of a flatbed, dump body or trailer, where it takes up no deck space at all. It gives you 9.2ft³ behind a lockable stainless T-handle, with a full-perimeter drip rail and stainless cables holding the door at 90 degrees. The tub is a single piece of 0.058\" aluminum and a MicroSeal gasket runs the full perimeter of the opening to keep rain and dust out. This body style uses a cable-supported door rather than UWS's RigidCore foam-filled lid, which is fitted to their chest, side and crossover boxes. The finish is bright aluminum diamond plate. This is the heavy-packaging version of the box: mechanically identical to the standard part, but crated for parcel carriage so it can ship without freight. UWS designs, fabricates and welds it in Florida and backs it with a limited lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS 48\" Underbody Tool Box in Bright Aluminum, part EC40101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOT included: mounting hardware.

It is now part of the Lippert and CURT Group family, which is what gives a box at this price a real dealer network, real parts support and a warranty that means something years later. What has not changed is where the boxes are made: UWS designs, fabricates and welds them at its own plant rather than importing finished bodies, and that is visible in the details that cannot be fixed after the fact, such as square lids, consistent welds and gaskets that meet cleanly all the way around the opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis underbody tool box is not one of the RigidCore lid models, because it does not have a lid: it is built around a door carried on stainless steel cables. What it shares with the rest of the range is the part that matters most, the 0.058\" one-piece aluminum tub, thicker than most of the competition and immune to the rust that eventually kills a painted steel box, and the MicroSeal full-perimeter gasket that keeps rain, road spray and fine grit out of your tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. Every box we ship is new, factory-packed, covered by the full UWS limited lifetime warranty and supported by UWS's US-based parts and service team.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48935889305844,"sku":"UWSEC40101","price":894.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-ec40101-48-in-underbody-tool-box-bright-aluminum-studio-a.webp?v=1785304203","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-48-in-single-door-underbody-tool-box-bright-aluminum-ec40101","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
