{"product_id":"uws-48-in-truck-side-tool-box-matte-black-low-profile-ec30203","title":"UWS 48\" Truck Side Tool Box, Matte Black, Low Profile (EC30203)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the low-profile version of the UWS truck side tool box: the same bed-wall mounting and 3ft³ of sealed storage, but a shallower 11.75\" body that stays below the line of the bed rails so it does not block the rear window or the camera. The tub is a single piece of 0.058\" aluminum, the lid is UWS's patented RigidCore foam-filled design so it will not flex or bind, and a MicroSeal gasket runs the full perimeter of the opening to keep rain and dust out. The finish is matte black powder coat over 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\" Truck Side Tool Box in Matte Black, part EC30203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOT included: mounting hardware.

That is what stops a long lid from flexing in the middle, binding in its own opening or drumming as you drive. On a 48.75\" lid this is the difference between a box that still latches cleanly after a few years and one that has to be pushed down to catch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLockable Stainless Push-Button\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA flush stainless push-button releases the lid and locks with a key.

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\u003eTwo UWS features do most of the work in this truck side tool box. The first is the patented RigidCore lid, filled with a solid foam core instead of left hollow, which is what stops a long lid flexing in the middle, drumming at speed or binding in its own opening as the box ages. The second is MicroSeal, a full-perimeter gasket that compresses as the lid closes and keeps out the rain, road spray and fine grit that ruin the contents of a cheaper box. Underneath both is a 0.058\" one-piece aluminum tub, thicker than most of the competition and immune to the rust that eventually kills a painted steel box.\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":48935871217908,"sku":"UWSEC30203","price":690.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-ec30203-48-in-truck-side-tool-box-matte-black-studio-a.webp?v=1785303860","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-48-in-truck-side-tool-box-matte-black-low-profile-ec30203","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
