Tipper tool boxes

[wjotner]

So I need to add some tool storage space to my Landy tipper. 

 

I was thinking of a couple of under body boxes on either side between wheel arches. And another box on the front end of the body with side access. 

 

But I'm struggling to to find anywhere online that does side access tool boxes. Does anyone know a good place to get them from? Preferably used as new ones are really expensive. Thanks

These guys on eBay made the box for my cabstar.
They can make them to any specs and have a bunch listed on eBay.

That's not a bad price I had one made to go under landy tipper which cost me £90 to have bent and welded up I supply the aluminium sheet. It is a work of art as they made it out of 1 sheet 8x4.

I had a box for my cabstar made by those guys. Leaked like a sieve.

I now use commercial body fittings, based in welwyn. They supply the hoxes nissan now use on their cabstars, and they were surprisingly cheap, and lightweight

True mine does leak but nothing a quick fix with some silicone and a little draft excluder

I'm not keen on the idea of spending £500 on a metal box. I'm trying to see if I can find them cheaper or second hand somewhere, but i can't find much going online. Also, those larger side access tool boxes are too big for my small tipper body. I'm looking for something only half that height, basically enough for store a couple of chainsaws in.

You bought the Land Rover. We did warn you.

If you contact them they can make the boxes to any shape/size you need
