It measures 59\" x 18.75\" x 11.25\", only 11.25\" tall, and holds 6.1ft³. The lid is UWS's patented RigidCore design, foam-filled so it does not bow or bind, with gas struts that lift it to a full 90 degrees and hold it there. A MicroSeal gasket runs the perimeter to keep dust and water out. Because this is the EC version, UWS packages it for parcel delivery rather than freight, so it comes to your door without a terminal pickup or a delivery window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS 58\" 5th wheel utility chest box, matte black aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware kit (NOT included on all models, see the note below)\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\/DPxZ-LJY4PI\" 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\u003e6.1ft³ of Lockable Storage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe box measures 59\" x 18.75\" x 11.25\" overall and holds 6.1ft³. Capacity is UWS's own published figure for this model, not a category average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatented RigidCore Foam-Filled Lid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lid is not a hollow aluminum shell. UWS injects a solid foam core between two sheets of aluminum, which stiffens the whole panel so it does not bow in the middle, does not warp in the sun, and does not bind in the latches after a few hundred cycles. It is the difference you notice every time the lid closes squarely instead of needing a shove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne-Piece Welded Aluminum Tub\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tub is formed from a single sheet of extra-thick aluminum and welded, rather than riveted or folded from panels. There are no seams down the corners to leak or split, and aluminum will not rust out from the inside the way a painted steel box does once the coating is chipped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatte Black Powder Coat Over Aluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe matte black powder coat finish is applied over aluminum, so even where the coating eventually gets chipped there is no steel underneath to rust. Matte black stays flat and non-reflective, which hides handling marks and dust far better than a gloss finish and does not throw sun glare back at the cab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStainless Steel Paddle Latches, Locking From Either Side\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo recessed stainless steel paddle latches with keyed locks, connected inside the box so it opens from the driver's side or the passenger's side. Recessing the latch into the box face means there is nothing sticking out to catch a hip or a cargo strap, and stainless means the lock still turns after a salt winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicroSeal Gasket Around the Lid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA closed-cell gasket runs the full perimeter of the opening and compresses when the lid shuts, which is what keeps dust, road spray and rain out of the box. UWS demonstrates it publicly by hitting a closed box with mud and then a pressure washer, and that video is linked on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt Low for 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 11.25\" tall this chest is deliberately short so the front cap of a 5th wheel trailer can swing over it. That is the whole reason the model exists: you get real lockable storage in the bed without giving up the towing clearance a full-height chest would eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaged for Parcel Delivery, Not Freight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the EC version of the box, which UWS packages specifically so it can ship by parcel carrier instead of on a freight pallet. In practice that means it comes to your door rather than to a terminal you have to drive to, and there is no appointment window to sit through. The box inside is the same box as the freight-only version; only the packaging differs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;margin:8px 0 4px;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"display:table;width:100%;margin:0;border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0;border:none;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#ba232a;color:#ffffff;text-align:left;padding:12px 14px;font-weight:700;border:none;\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#ba232a;color:#ffffff;text-align:left;padding:12px 14px;font-weight:700;border:none;\"\u003eFit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;font-weight:600;\"\u003eFull-size trucks towing a 5th wheel or gooseneck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#1a7f37;font-weight:700;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003e Yes, this is the designed application\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;font-weight:600;\"\u003eFull-size trucks not towing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#1a7f37;font-weight:700;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003e Yes, it works as a low-profile 59\" bed box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;font-weight:600;\"\u003eMid-size trucks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#b25e00;font-weight:700;\"\u003e●\u003c\/span\u003e Check first, the box needs 59\" of clear bed floor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;font-weight:600;\"\u003eMounting on the bed rails as a crossover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#ba232a;font-weight:700;\"\u003e✗\u003c\/span\u003e No, this box sits on the bed floor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#faf7f7;border-left:4px solid #ba232a;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;padding:14px 16px;margin:12px 0;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit guidance:\u003c\/strong\u003e This chest sits on the bed floor ahead of the hitch and is kept to 11.25\" tall so it clears the swing of a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer.

The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship; it does not cover damage from overloading, misuse, accident, or improper installation, and it does not cover normal wear to the finish.

The company builds tool boxes, transfer tanks and chests for people who open them every working day, and the engineering choices reflect that: welded one-piece tubs instead of riveted panels, stainless steel latch hardware instead of plated steel, and a foam-filled lid instead of a hollow one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo of those choices are worth knowing by name. The patented RigidCore lid sandwiches a solid foam core between aluminum skins, so the lid stays flat and keeps latching squarely long after a hollow lid would have bowed in the middle. The MicroSeal gasket runs the full perimeter of the opening and is what keeps dust and water out. UWS is confident enough in the seal to publish a video of a closed box being hit with mud and then a pressure washer. UWS builds these boxes in Florida: the company's own product copy for this model says it is designed, fabricated and welded there, and the carton is marked Assembled in USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular listing is from the UWS EC series, which is the same box packaged so it can travel by parcel carrier rather than freight. That is worth money to you: the box arrives at your door instead of a freight terminal, without a delivery appointment to wait on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. Every box we ship is new, in the manufacturer's carton, and covered by the full UWS limited lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48935763837172,"sku":"UWSEC20093","price":749.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-ec20093-hero-front-three-quarter.webp?v=1785301856","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-58-in-5th-wheel-truck-tool-box-matte-black-ec20093","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
