Storage boxes for climbing kit

[David Goss]

I am thinking of getting the big plastic storage boxes for my climbing kit. The ones with wheels are what i am looking for so i can easily move it around.

 

Does anyone use them and if so which ones are best?

Here is a link to what i guess would be perfect Big Storage Boxes / Large Plastic Trunks

the third set of boxes from the top called "discover mobile plastic storage trunk"

What say the mob?

You after a wheeled one, you seen the northface wheeled cargo bag? Nice bags and with shoulder traps give you hands free option

If your set on a box I'd say you want roughly 90l+... Spikes, ropes, harness etc

I personally would go to a car boot sale and try to pick up an old suit case with wheels on it would do the job and it wouldn't be a disaster if it got abit battered

I use recycled tyre rubber tubs, they are ubber strong and will not degrade with sunlight. I also use a nylon cover to keep out the rain. They are about 3 times the price of your builders merchant ones but they will last forever unlike the builders ones. I can leave my tubs at the base of the tree safe in the event of a lump hitting it. You will of course need a trolley or Stien thingy or like me just carry them!

bit too expensive for my taste, i just want a simple wheeled box i can get all my stuff in, or even 2 boxes so i can have 1 for saws and oily greasy stuff, or even 3 and i could split the gear up better to be more accessible and tidy if you catch my drift.

I just dont want to buy something that the wheels will come off after the first bump.

try a shopping trolley, good sized wheels and yet light.

the gorilla boxes featured on that site are of very tough construction and are practical.
