Storage Trunks

Storage trunks are rugged, high-capacity containers that keep tools, hardware, and gear protected, organized, and ready to move. Whether you’re outfitting a garage, workshop, jobsite, vehicle, or basement, a well-chosen trunk reduces clutter, safeguards equipment from dust and moisture, and streamlines transport for projects, moves, or weekend trips.

Common materials include impact-resistant plastic for light weight and weather protection, powder‑coated steel for maximum strength and security, and wood for durable indoor storage that looks great in living spaces. Many trunks offer gasketed lids, reinforced corners, and heavy-duty latches to withstand daily use. Look for padlock hasps or integrated locks, recessed handles, and smooth-rolling wheels to make heavy loads manageable.

Key features to compare:
- Capacity and size: check internal dimensions and volume (liters or gallons) to ensure your longest tools fit.
- Weight rating: verify load capacity for power tools, fasteners, and dense hardware.
- Weather and dust protection: gaskets and IP-rated designs (e.g., IP65) shield contents from rain and debris.
- Mobility: wheels, pull handles, and tie‑down points for trucks, vans, and trailers.
- Stackability: interlocking lids or feet to save floor space and stabilize tall stacks.
- Organization: removable trays, dividers, clear labeling areas, and lid organizers.
- Security: metal latches, lock compatibility, and tamper‑resistant hinges.

Selection tips:
- Measure your storage space and the longest item you plan to stow.
- Choose plastic or composite for outdoor or damp areas; pick steel for maximum security; select wood for indoor placement.
- For frequent transport, prioritize wheels, corner protection, and tie‑downs.
- Group by use case: one trunk for power tools, another for PPE and consumables.

Care and safety:
- Wipe seals and hinges; lubricate latches periodically.
- Use desiccant packs to combat humidity.
- Place heavier items at the bottom; secure trunks in vehicles to prevent shifting.
