Side boxes? SS door

Brunners in Joplin. Easy to get to. I have 2 of their 5 foot boxes, tread plate box with SS mirror doors.

The door hinges at bottom, so opens out/down. 2 twist locks. Good weather stripping. I like em.

Arrow offers SS doors on their boxes. Most all the mfg's do. I like my arrow boxes. I had Sturdy Built with SS doors but I thought the Sturdies were not too sturdy. My doors are the barn door type they swing to the left and right.

 

Nice looking set up

 

Thanks - was just thinking of you and the spread axle question, this kinda applies.

I agree with the sliding spread, because I run away from heavy freight like a screaming school girl, and would run with closed tandems most of the time. But - you see where those boxes are mounted? Problem - right ? Well, challenge, you'd just need to mount them elsewhere.

I could go with the lift axle on the front, because I have the dump valve on the rear, to save on tire scrub and fuel when light/empty.

Had I had my chance again, I'd have set everything up a bit different.

 

Yup - all fabricated there. I don't want to lie to you on the cost, and it was installed before I bought the trailer from Utility, so I don't know what shenanigans went on between Utility/Brunners.

I'll see if I have a closer pic.

I'd just call them and ask "What's your knock down drag out best price on a 5' box?"

 

That ones a little closer.

I like the single opening boxes, I can't count the amount of times I've seen the double opening swingout doors all messed up with bungees holding them closed. For the amount of $$ in securements and tools in the contents of the box, I wouldn't want to risk having them come open and bounce down the road.
