New Weather Guard® Hi-Side Truck Boxes Offer More Security and Durability
Crystal Lake, IL - April 2008 - Knaack LLC's new WEATHER GUARD® Hi-Side Truck Boxes provide contractors with secure, durable and more convenient tool storage above the bed of their trucks.
Available in aluminum and steel, the Hi-Side truck boxes have been specifically designed for extra security and durability with a new three-point latching system that secures each side of the box with a strong seal against theft, vandalism and weather. A large, stainless-steel D-handle allows for easy opening and locking, even when wearing gloves.
The Hi-Side boxes' picture frame body design has an extra large opening for maximum utilization of storage space and tool accessibility. Sturdy, adjustable legs allow the box mounting points to be customized for maximum bed space.
For unrestricted access, the doors of the Hi-Side truck boxes can be adjusted from 90 to 180 degrees. Full weather stripping and close tolerance door flanges keep rain, sleet, snow and vandals away from the truck box contents. Full-length staked piano hinges on the doors provide maximum durability and rigidity, and aircraft-rated type cables connect the doors to the full-length reinforcement channel on the truck box body.
