Tools are an essential part of working life. When you’re off the tools for whatever reason (lost, misplaced, stolen) you’re wasting time and money – whether you’re a professional or a DIY’er.

Getting down to Business

TransQuip’s range of aluminium and steel toolboxes for trucks and Utes keep tools clean, dry, secure, and organised. Durable and practical, these toolboxes add value to vehicles and make work safer. No time is wasted searching for a drill bit, or pliers, and tools are not rattling around in the back of the truck, or worse still, the cab - where there’s a serious risk to both the vehicle and the driver.

Tool Boxes to suit all Vehicles

Work vehicles and tools come in a variety of sizes. That’s why TransQuip have a huge range of toolboxes available. From compact options that fit under the Ute deck to chest toolboxes for trucks. And they’re used to store everything from socket sets to chainsaws and shovels.

Let’s take a look at our top five picks.

The Favourite Plastic Tool Box

Chest type toolbox, 1550W x 550H x 600D, SS hardware

This chest toolbox is suitable for a range of uses—ideal for different trades, tools, or vehicles, so you can buy one type of toolbox no matter what work you do.

It is designed for tough environments like worksites or workshops. Its thick skin gives it durability that means it has a longer lifespan and less chance of damage under rough use.

With 4 sizes available in this style, you can choose a size that best fits your vehicle or storage needs, avoiding wasted space or overfilling.

The carry handles make transport simpler and safer, especially if you need to shift the box between vehicles or around job sites. No more time wasted wondering how you’re going to move it safely.

It includes a parts tray to keep small items (like bolts or small hand tools) organised and easy to access, reducing frustration and saving time on those jobs where you need lots of different tools.

This chest toolbox is tough, practical, and flexible—ideal for tradies, contractors, and fleet operators who need an option that is still reliable, secure, and weather-resistant. It’s a smart investment for keeping tools safe, dry, and organised on the go.

The Most Popular Tool Box for Flat deck Utes

TransQuip Highside Ute Tool Box, Aluminium, 1200x650x850mm, top hinge

The TransQuip high-side Ute toolbox is ideal for flat deck Ute storage.

The high-sided, heavy-duty design gives easy access to tools without the need to muck around dropping the deck sides. Bonus!

The toolbox is white powder coated meaning it has a durable, protective finish that resists scratches, chips, corrosion, and UV damage, perfect for toolboxes exposed to tough outdoor or on-site conditions, it will last longer than spray paint or liquid paint, which can flake, fade, or wear off more quickly and bare metal, which is highly prone to rust and corrosion. This toolbox is also constructed out of 3mm flat sheet aluminium meaning it offers a strong yet lightweight structure that resists corrosion, making it easy to install as it is lighter. Plus it won’t add a large amount of weight to the vehicle once installed, unlike steel, which is stronger but significantly heavier and more prone to rust unless treated.

Two lockable stainless-steel latches mean gear is secure when you’re parked up or off at lunchtime to get a pie.

Features (for the toolbox, not the pie) include a full-width stainless steel piano hinge, which is especially useful for heavy or frequently used tool boxes, as they last longer because of the even weight distribution on the door.

Quality gas struts for easy opening and lid control are more user-friendly than traditional compression springs or completely manual doors that you hold or prop open.

The pinch weld rubber weatherproof seal keeps your tools from being damaged by water and dust getting in through the cracks.

Shelves and draws, if needed, can be purchased separately to keep your tools inside organised, clean and safe from theft.

Mobile mechanics give this toolbox the thumbs up

TransQuip top hinge, Aluminium Ute toolbox, 650D x 1400W x 850H

This robust on-deck toolbox gives quick and easy access with a full-front, angled lid, making it easy for you to grab your gear and get to work or grab your picnic chair and start relaxing.

With quality gas struts to keep the lid open so you don’t have to hold it while reaching for your tools, same as the high-side Ute Tool Box 1200x650x850mm toolbox above. It’s like working under the bonnet, but easier. This practical toolbox will have mechanics (and clients), back on the road in no time and keep gear safe from the weather and from theft.

From the pinch weld rubber seal to the stainless steel T-latches (same as above) toolbox– everything has been thought of to make this toolbox as user-friendly as possible, making it enjoyable to use.

Shelves and drawers can be purchased separately if required, helping keep your tools organised, clean, and protected from theft.

Need trade tool storage? Sorted!

TransQuip dual top hinge, steel Ute toolbox, 1695D x 1200W x 800H

Perfect for any tradie or technician who needs to carry a comprehensive set of tools and spare parts on their truck or Ute. This generously sized, dual-opening steel toolbox absolutely nails it.

With this toolbox you’re going to save time and money on fuel thanks to no to-ing and fro-ing back to the workshop.

Got your hands full on a job? The easy-open lids and supporting gas struts take a load off and mean there’s no fiddling around.

Pinch weld seals are preferred for their superior ability to block water, dust, and noise. They create a tighter, more durable, and weatherproof connection by "pinching" two metal sheets together, outperforming traditional methods such as bolts or rivets, same as the toolboxes above. That keeps tools dry and protected during outdoor work, even in heavy rain, ensuring equipment stays in good condition.

Have to leave your vehicle on-site or parked on the street overnight? No problem. Your expensive gear is safe.

If needed, you can buy shelves and drawers separately to keep your tools tidy, secure, and free from dust or damage.

Fits securely to most truck and Ute decks.

The Infrastructure and Utilities Hero

Steel Truck Toolbox, Dual Full Height Side Doors, 1800x1250x900mm

For smaller trucks, this substantial toolbox holds everything from shovels to testing equipment, with the option of adding shelves for flexibility. Popular with contractors and councils, it has a door at each end for easy access and locks up for safety, travelling between jobs, and to prevent theft.

In 1.5mm mild powder coated white steel, provides strong structural integrity, impact resistance, and enhanced durability thanks to the powder-coated finish, which protects against corrosion and wear meaning your toolbox will have a longer life span, saving you money in the long run, unlike uncoated mild steel, which rusts quickly when exposed to moisture or Thinner steel (e.g., 1.2mm), which is more prone to denting or warping under stress.

Shelves, if needed can be purchased separately to keep your tools inside organised, clean and safe from theft.
