Aluminum Ute Tool Boxes

ARE YOUR ALUMINIUM TOOLBOXES DURABLE?

You'd better believe it! We use aluminium for a variety of reasons when we create our toolboxes. First and foremost, it's far lighter than steel while still having comparable durability for day-to-day use. It's rugged, rust-resistant and ideal for working in just about any condition. Before starting T.C. BOXES, the team here were tradies themselves, so they know the importance of investing in equipment that will last the distance. That's why when we created our range of aluminium toolboxes for sale, we knew that they had to be able to stand up to tough conditions. We're very proud of the results.

ARE THE ALUMINIUM TOOLBOXES SAFE?

Yes — provided you've got it attached to your ute properly. We can carry out the installation for you when you purchase directly from your Pakenham, Victoria storefront. Alternatively, if you're ordering online, we may be able to recommend a business near your location for safe installation.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALUMINIUM AND ALLOY?

Without wanting to go into all the specifics of a high school science lesson, aluminium is "pure" metal with many commercial applications. It's lightweight but remarkably durable, and it can be formed into all sorts of shapes. By contrast, alloys are created from blends of a range of different metals — it's a catch-all term to describe a substance that's created from more than one metal. Nickel, pewter and stainless steel are all common alloys.

Stainless steel, for example, can be used to make excellent toolboxes and other storage — but the end results will be substantially heavier than your average aluminium toolboxes. In turn, that puts more hard wear on your vehicle and costs you more in fuel and repairs.  So though alloys have a huge amount of day-to-day applications, we deliberately use aluminium to create our toolboxes.  We feel it combines various properties that make it ideal for lightweight — but rugged — toolboxes that can stand up to hard use.
