A heavy duty steel site box or lockbox keeps tools and equipment locked away between tasks, on site, in the van or in the workshop. The body is 1.4mm steel with an industrial powder coating, and the lid lifts on gas struts. It locks with your own padlock through a clasp and lock bar, and stands on four raised feet that take forklift tines.
How Forkliftable Feet Stop Tools Being Carried Across Site
Many 32 inch van and site boxes sit flat on the ground with no forklift access. Once loaded, they have to be emptied or carried by hand every time the work moves. This box stands on four raised feet, so a forklift can lift it fully loaded and set it down at the next work area.
Key Features
-
Forkliftable raised feet: four support feet lift the box off the floor and give forklift access, so it moves around site without unloading.
-
Gas strut lid: the lid lifts with assistance and holds open while you load and unload.
-
Padlock clasp and lock bar: lock it with the same padlocks you use on the rest of your site.
-
1.4mm steel body: a steel shell for tools left on site overnight or in the back of a van.
-
Industrial powder coating: protects the steel from wear and knocks in tough site conditions.
-
Side handles: help position the box in a van, compound or workshop.

Typical Users and Projects
Contractors and trades use a 32 inch site box on construction, civil engineering and fit-out projects where tools stay on site between shifts. Its footprint suits van load areas and small site compounds, as well as workshops and depots. It needs no installation or training, so any operative can use it.
Typical applications
-
Locking away hand tools and power tools in a site compound overnight.
-
Keeping an electrician’s or plumber’s kit together in the back of a van.
-
Storing fixings, accessories and consumables close to the work area on fit-out jobs.
-
Moving a loaded box between work areas with a site forklift.
-
Holding shared tools in a depot or maintenance workshop.
How to use
Step 1: Place the box on a firm, level surface, clear of vehicle routes.
Step 2: Lift the lid and let the gas struts hold it open.
Step 3: Load heavier items at the bottom and keep the lid opening clear.
Step 4: Close the lid, engage the lock bar and clasp, and fit your padlock.
Step 5: To move the box, close and lock the lid first. Lift it with a forklift through the raised feet, or use the side handles to position it.
Common mistakes
-
Leaving the box unlocked during breaks, when opportunist theft often happens.
-
Fitting a padlock with a long exposed shackle that bolt croppers can reach.
-
Moving the box with the lid open or unlocked.
-
Storing fuel, gas cartridges or other hazardous substances inside.
-
Loading one end heavily, which unbalances the box on the forks.
Safety
Keep fingers clear of the lid edge when closing it. Move a loaded box with a forklift or with enough people for the weight, following the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and HSE guidance. Keep the load balanced on the forks and never stand under a lifted box.
Maintenance
Inspect the handles, feet, hinges, locking parts and gas struts regularly. If the lid no longer stays open on its own, the gas struts need replacing. Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth and dry the box afterwards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What will fit in a 32 inch Lockbox?
A: It is designed for hand tools, portable power tools, accessories and non-hazardous consumables. The external size is 813mm wide, 483mm deep and 447mm high. Long items such as 1200mm spirit levels will not fit.
Q: What does 32 inch mean on a site box?
A: 32 inch is the nominal width, which is how the trade sizes site and van boxes. On this box it matches an external width of 813mm. Full dimensions are written as width x depth x height, here 813mm x 483mm x 447mm.
Q: Does this site box have a security rating?
A: The manufacturer states no security standard or rating for this box. Its security comes from the steel body, the clasp and lock bar, and the padlock you fit. Choose a padlock to suit the value of the contents, and check its shackle fits the clasp. A closed-shackle padlock leaves less shackle exposed to bolt croppers.
Q: What should not be stored in this site box?
A: Do not store fuel, flammable liquids, gas cartridges or other hazardous substances. Use a dedicated hazardous substance store for those. The box is also not designed for charging tool batteries or for lifting by crane.
Q: Should I choose a 32 inch or a 42 inch site box?
A: The 32 inch box suits van load areas, small compounds and one trade’s kit. A 42 inch box takes longer tools and more equipment, but needs more floor space. If your kit includes long levels or large power tools, choose the larger size.
Q: Can a forklift move this site box?
A: The four raised feet give forklift access, so the box can be moved while loaded. Close and lock the lid first and keep the load balanced on the forks. Use suitable forklift equipment and a trained operator.
Q: Can I keep the site box in my van?
A: Vans are one of the intended uses. Restrain the box so it cannot slide in transit, and keep the lid locked while driving. Leave enough headroom for the lid to open fully on its gas struts.
Q: How do I look after the gas struts and lock?
A: Check the handles, feet, hinges, lock bar, clasp and gas struts regularly. If the lid will not stay open on its own, replace the gas struts. Wipe the box down with a damp cloth and dry it to protect the finish.
