Storage boxes for climbing kit

[Pat Ferrett]

Either gorilla tubs or a wheelie bin

[David Goss]

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

 

yea they do look the business but still a bit costly imo

 

had one once but you seem to of found what i had on your link....

 

good tubs they are.....

 

think they are the ones for me yea, will give it a week or so to see if i can find anything better but if not i think thats what i will go for:thumbup1:

I bought one of these for my Climbing kit.Its really nice but because it to nice to get battered on the Job,I use it to store precious things like Pornography and Narcotics.

These are the lids I use on the tyre rubber tubs: Containerama Online Store - Tubtrugs® Flexible :: Tubtrug® Covers :: Tubtrug® Medium / Large Purple Cover

 

those tubs would be good for keeping rigging rope in.

I keep all my gear in them, ropes in one, rigging gear in another and climbing gear in another. The ones I use are the tyre rubber ones not the tub rugs, they are crap in comparison . I do use the covers though, they stop the tubs getting full of chip and water.

In Rome we used the big black plastic plant pots with the handles in the same way, for rigging kit but my climbing kit was always in a big climbers rucksack with the rope inside in a separate rope bag but was always a struggle to get the thing closed so i had to have a seperate box for all the extra bits. I just want to get everything together for each type of job in a box each, with wheels cos i am getting old

Haul bag

I use second hand food containers from when food is shipped in bulk, they are cheap and very tough (no wheels though) and you can't get your saws in them. But they are excellent for climbing and rigging kit.

 

I got mine from Smiths in the Forest of Dean (can't put link but) address is http://www.smithsofthedean.co.uk

 

I have found the 45 liter/10 gallon 2 handled ones good value- I paid 6 quid each for the 2 I have and I will get some more.

 

Also I have a Gorilla Box, I think it is expensive and doesn't take many knocks, ok if you are gentle on your kit...

 

Hope this helps.
