What do you use recommend for tool storage on tipper's and pick up's, trying to work out the best method for storage with out losing too much loadspace.

[nuggsy]

scudmonsters landy is a good 1 to look at mate, the storage is at the front of the tipper and comprises of basicly a big cupboard accesable from both sides

[Buzzsurgeon]

Use a roof rack, can carry saws, wheel barrow, climbing gear rakes etc

[Rupe]

Or a roof box on the roof rack. Keeps everything dry and clean and is aero dynamic ish

If its a pickup, Id look at an ifor or equivalent as they can be made secure. They turn up occasionally secondhand off ebay so I wouldnt buy new.

Only prob is the toolboxes tip with the body, however not the bggest issue in the world.

[cordwood]

Stuart that's the sort of idea i was thinking along the line's of , did you build it yourself ?

[Stuartsharp]

Im not entirely sure to be honest, as it belongs to the firm, and was around long before i joined,i suspect it was built by a bodybuilders but am unsure i will find out for you.Here is another pic with the removable high sides on.

 

To correct last post, the bottem bins are fixed, only the main box is part of the tipper.

Spoke to the bloke at N & J very helpful think that will be the route i'm going for. Just need to have a measure up to see how big it need's to be , don't want it to big or it will just end up with everything piled in and just end up a mess but also dont want it too small so that can't get everything in, anyone with idea's of a reasonable size, layout , feedback would be usefull. Also how to fit the drop side's on as well , or would they be better fixed permanately?. Decisions decision's.
