It is 48\" by 48.25\" and 28.25\" tall, rated by UWS at 35.2ft³, built from extra-thick aluminum welded rather than fastened together, and secured with two key-operated stainless steel T-handles. This is the model UWS calls the northern style: a more complete enclosure meant to keep the wind and snow out, with louvered side vents, floor access ports so it can be hosed out and drained, and a separate lockable compartment on top with a RigidCore foam-filled lid for collars, leads, whistles and training dummies. A welded aluminum rail runs across the top, which UWS describes as a sturdy tie-down anchor for other cargo, so the roof of the box stays usable. It weighs 103 lb, sits free-standing on the bed floor, and is designed, fabricated and welded in Florida.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne UWS 48\" x 48.25\" Enclosed Double-Door Dog Box, Bright Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo stainless steel locking T-handles with keys, factory-fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLockable upper storage compartment with a RigidCore lid and paddle handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded aluminum top rail, factory-fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS limited lifetime warranty\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\/nyJX-ub0xac\" 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\u003e35.2ft³ for Two Dogs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DB-4848N is 48\" by 48.25\" and 28.25\" tall, rated by UWS at 35.2ft³, with two doors.

There is no vehicle-specific mounting kit and no year, make and model list: what matters is that your bed floor is at least 48\" by 48.25\" clear and that you strap or bolt the box down yourself, because a 103 lb box with a dog in it must not be loose. UWS's own guidance splits the range into a northern style, which is more fully enclosed to keep wind and snow out, and a southern style, whose wider gaps between the rungs increase airflow to keep temperatures down. This is the northern, enclosed model. Choose on climate, and always check on a dog traveling in an open bed in extreme heat or cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUWS Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e DB-4848N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Aluminum dog box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Aluminum diamond plate, welded single-piece tub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Bright aluminum diamond plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOverall Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 48.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOverall Height:\u003c\/b\u003e 28.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTub Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 47.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTub Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 34.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTub Height:\u003c\/b\u003e 23\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLower Tub Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStorage Capacity:\u003c\/b\u003e 35.2ft³\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLid Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Single Lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDoor Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Double-Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRail:\u003c\/b\u003e With Rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLatch Type:\u003c\/b\u003e T-Handle \/ Paddle Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 103 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 103 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Method:\u003c\/b\u003e Freight (LTL) only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInstallation Difficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 672078020084\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e Limited lifetime, with one year on the finish and one year on the parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/b\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Free-standing in the pickup bed; strap or bolt down as your setup allows  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e About 15 minutes, plus whatever your tie-down method takes  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e A second person to lift it, plus ratchet straps or your own bolts and hardware  ·  \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Easy, but this is a two-person lift at 103 lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box is free-standing and UWS supplies no bed-specific mounting kit.

The company builds at its own plant in Perry, Florida, and it has been supplying the truck accessory trade long enough that the diamond plate box with the blue UWS badge is a familiar sight on job sites. UWS is part of the CURT Group, which in turn belongs to Lippert, so behind a fairly specialized Florida welding shop sits a full national parts and warranty network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo pieces of engineering separate a UWS box from a generic aluminum one. The first is the patented RigidCore lid: instead of a hollow shell, the lid is a pair of aluminum plates completely filled with a hardening, expanding foam, which sets into a solid structure and stops the lid bending, warping or binding after a few years of being leaned on. The second is the MicroSeal gasket, which lines the entire seam where the lid meets the tub and keeps water, dust, grit and insects out of the box rather than merely slowing them down. Both are backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the box, with one year on the finish and one year on the parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. Every box we ship is new, in the original UWS carton, built in the USA, and covered by the full UWS factory warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48935471972596,"sku":"UWSDB-4848N","price":1429.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-db-4848n-48-in-x-48-25-in-enclosed-double-door-dog-box-hero-front-three-quarter.webp?v=1785298360","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-48-in-x-48-25-in-enclosed-double-door-dog-box-bright-aluminum-35-2-cu-ft-db-4848n","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
