Lockers & toolboxes: secure storage that works the way you do

Posted on September 18, 2025 in SB Components

Space is money — organise it properly.

Here’s something every driver knows but fleet managers sometimes forget: the five minutes you save finding your kit adds up to hours over a week. From daily chains and straps to spill kits and PPE, good storage isn’t just about keeping things tidy – it’s about keeping your operation moving.

And let’s be honest, nobody wants to work out of a cab that looks like a jumble sale.

Storage that actually makes sense

We see a lot of trucks where the storage was clearly an afterthought. Toolboxes that don’t fit the kit, layouts that make drivers climb around like mountaineers, and hardware that gives up after the first proper wash-down. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Our toolboxes are built for the commercial environment – proper robust construction, decent sealing, and hardware that stands up to vibration and regular washing. They’re not just boxes bolted to the side of your truck; they’re part of a joined-up approach that includes catwalks, tanks, steps, and side infills for a proper integrated look.

Because if you’re going to do it, you might as well do it right.

Designed around what you actually carry

Sizes and layouts that match your actual load-out. No point having vast empty spaces if you’re carrying small bits, or cramped compartments if you need to store bulky items. Shelves, dividers, removable bins – whatever makes sense for how you work.

Materials and finishes to suit your operation and brand. Some operators want painted steel for practicality, others prefer brushed or polished finishes for the smart look. Both approaches work – it depends what matters to your business.

Mounting systems that don’t fight you when you need service access. Nothing more frustrating than having to strip half the storage off just to reach a component. We design around your truck’s service points and protect wiring and air runs whilst we’re at it.

The details that actually matter

You know what separates good storage from brilliant storage? The boring bits nobody notices until they go wrong.

Positive-latching locks that don’t pop open on rough roads. Protected hinges that don’t seize up after a few months. Anti-corrosion fasteners that still work after their first winter. Clean drain paths so water doesn’t sit and cause problems.

We also align locker placement with catwalks and steps so drivers can move safely around the chassis. Because the last thing anyone needs is storage that creates new hazards whilst solving old ones.

Professional installation makes the difference

Here’s the thing about DIY installations: they always look like DIY installations. And not in a good way.

Because we supply and fit in-house, your locker install arrives measured, aligned, and ready to work. No grinder fixes in the yard, no “that’ll do” compromises, no wondering why the doors don’t line up properly.

Need supply-only? No problem – we’ll deliver to spec with all the fittings you need and clear installation notes.

Getting it sorted

The best storage solutions are the ones that fit how you actually work, not how someone thinks you should work.

Different routes need different approaches. Daily urban rounds are different from long-distance work, which is different from specialist transport. The kit you carry, how often you need it, and where you operate all matter.
