{"product_id":"uws-60-in-wedge-utility-chest-box-bright-aluminum-ec20351","title":"UWS 60\" Wedge Utility Chest Box, Bright Aluminum (EC20351)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the UWS utility chest box, the classic bed-floor tool box, in the 60\" size. It gives you 12ft³ of locked, sealed storage in a 61\" x 24.75\" x 21.25\" body, with the tapered wedge lower body that lets it sit forward of the wheel wells. 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 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 60\" Utility Chest Box in Bright Aluminum, part EC20351\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware kit, on the models that include one (see the note below)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMAY NOT BE INCLUDED: UWS states that not all chest box models ship with the mounting hardware kit, and does not say which.

It is the shape to choose if you want the most storage that will still sit flat on the bed floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicroSeal Weather Gasket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA MicroSeal gasket runs the full perimeter of the opening and compresses as the lid closes, sealing out rain, road spray, dust and the fine grit that ruins bearings and fastener threads. It is the part of a tool box most owners only think about after they have found standing water inside a cheaper one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Opening Lid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRelease the paddle handles and the lid lifts and stays up on its own, close to a full 90 degrees. That is a genuinely useful detail when both hands are full or you are working in the dark: you are not holding a heavy lid open with a shoulder while you dig for a socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosed Lock Rod\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe connecting rod runs inside an enclosure rather than exposed across the back of the tub. Loose cargo cannot fall against it and bend it, which is the usual reason a two-handle box eventually stops opening from one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStainless Steel Lock Handles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lock handles are stainless steel, not plated pot metal, so they keep working after a few winters of salt and do not seize or bloom with rust. Both handles lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUWS backs the box with a limited lifetime warranty, with one year on the finish and one year on parts. That is the manufacturer telling you what it expects the welded aluminum structure to do over the life of the truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnecting Rod for Either-Side Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe two handles are tied together by an internal rod, so the box opens from the driver side or the passenger side without walking around the truck. On a wide bed that is the difference between grabbing a tool and climbing up into the bed to get it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra-Thick 0.058\" One-Piece Aluminum Tub\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tub is formed from a single piece of 0.058\" aluminum rather than welded up from thinner panels, so there are fewer seams to leak or split and the box keeps its shape when it is loaded with heavy hand tools, cordless kits and chain. Aluminum also means it will not rust out from the inside the way a painted steel box does once the coating is chipped, which matters on a box that lives outdoors and gets road salt thrown at it every winter.\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;\"\u003eBed Type\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 pickup, 6.5' or 8' bed\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, ideal 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 pickup, 5.5' short bed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;background:#f7f7f7;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#b25e00;font-weight:700;\"\u003e●\u003c\/span\u003e Measure first, a 60\" box is a tight fit in a short bed\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 pickup (Tacoma, Ranger, Colorado)\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 Often too long, measure between the wheel wells first\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;\"\u003eTrailer deck, flatbed or workshop floor\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 does not have to go in a truck\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 is a bed-floor chest box, not a rail-mounted crossover, so what matters is the flat floor space you have available, not the bed rail width.

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 utility chest 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":48935835173108,"sku":"UWSEC20351","price":722.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-ec20351-60-in-utility-chest-box-bright-aluminum-studio-a.jpg?v=1785303121","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-60-in-wedge-utility-chest-box-bright-aluminum-ec20351","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
