The platform is 51\" by 23\" and stands 6.38\" tall, built entirely from aluminum with a reinforced base, and UWS rates it at 500 lb. That makes it the obvious place for the load you would rather not have in the cabin, whether that is wet gear after a day out, fuel cans, muddy boots or a chainsaw. Because it is aluminum rather than painted steel it weighs only 25.2 lb, so one person can fit it, and it will not rust where a steel basket eventually will. UWS also builds the TBC-48-DD chest box specifically to mount on this carrier, which turns the open basket into a lockable, weather-sealed box; that chest is sold separately. A hitch pin and clip are not included, and it is made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne UWS aluminum cargo carrier, 51\" x 23\", with a 2\" x 2\" hitch shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS limited lifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHitch pin and clip are not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe TBC-48-DD chest box is sold separately\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\u003eOver Eight Square Feet Outside the Vehicle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe UWS-CARRIER is 51\" by 23\", which UWS puts at over eight square feet of extra cargo space hanging off the back of the vehicle.

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":48935825899764,"sku":"UWSUWS-CARRIER","price":411.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-uws-carrier-51-in-x-23-in-aluminum-hitch-cargo-carrier-hero-front-three-quarter.webp?v=1785302881","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-51-in-x-23-in-aluminum-hitch-cargo-carrier-500-lb-capacity-uws-carrier","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
