A heavy duty steel site box or Lockbox in the larger 48 inch size, built to hold longer tools and a bigger kit of equipment in one locked store. The 1.4mm steel body has an industrial powder coating, and gas struts support the lid as it opens. Four raised feet carry the box above the ground and let a forklift move it when full.
How Forklift Access Makes a Large Site Box Practical to Move
A large site box full of power tools is far too heavy to carry safely by hand. Without forklift access it gets emptied every time the work area changes, or simply left where it is. The raised feet on this box take forklift tines, so the whole kit moves in one lift and stays locked away.
Key Features
-
Forkliftable raised feet: move the box fully loaded around the compound, with no unloading and reloading.
-
48 inch storage space: room for longer tools and larger power tools that will not fit a van-size box.
-
Gas strut lid: the large lid lifts with assistance and stays up while you work.
-
Padlock clasp and lock bar: secure the box with the padlocks already used across your site.
-
1.4mm steel body with powder coating: a coated steel store for kit left on site overnight and at weekends.
-
Side handles: help line the box up when positioning it.

Typical Users and Projects
Main contractors and trade gangs use a 48 inch site box as a shared tool store on construction, housebuilding and civil engineering sites. It usually sits in the site compound or a welfare area, close to where work is happening. It suits teams with more kit than a van box can hold, and anyone on site can operate it.
Typical applications
-
Storing a gang’s power tools and hand tools together in the site compound between shifts.
-
Keeping longer tools such as levels, straight edges and bars locked away overnight.
-
Holding portable equipment such as lasers, saws and breakers near the work face.
-
Relocating the whole tool store by forklift as a project moves between phases.
-
Storing shared tools in a plant yard, depot or maintenance workshop.
How to use
Step 1: Choose a firm, level spot in the compound, away from plant routes and with room for the lid to open fully.
Step 2: Open the lid and let the gas struts hold it up.
Step 3: Put the heaviest kit on the floor of the box and spread the weight evenly from end to end.
Step 4: Close the lid, engage the lock bar and clasp, and fit your padlock.
Step 5: Before moving the box, lock the lid, then lift it by forklift through the raised feet.
Common mistakes
-
Trying to drag or carry a loaded box by hand instead of using a forklift.
-
Packing all the heavy tools at one end, so the box tips on the forks.
-
Placing the box against a wall or under a structure that stops the lid opening fully.
-
Using a cheap padlock that can be cut quicker than the box can be forced.
-
Storing fuel or gas cartridges with the tools.
Safety
Treat a loaded 48 inch box as a forklift lift, not a manual handling task. Follow the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and HSE guidance if it must be moved by hand when empty. Keep people clear while it is lifted, and keep hands away from the lid edge when closing it.
Maintenance
Check the feet, handles, hinges, clasp, lock bar and gas struts as part of regular site inspections. Replace the gas struts if the lid starts to drop. Clean off site dirt with a damp cloth and dry the box afterwards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What will fit in a 48 inch site box?
A: It takes a full trade kit of hand tools, larger power tools and portable equipment, plus non-hazardous consumables. The external size is 1219mm wide, 610mm deep and 701mm high. Internal dimensions are not yet published, so check them before relying on it for tools close to 1200mm long.
Q: What does 48 inch mean on a site box?
A: 48 inch is the nominal width, the way the trade describes site box sizes. On this box it equals an external width of 1219mm. Full dimensions are given as width x depth x height, here 1219mm x 610mm x 701mm.
Q: Is this site box security rated?
A: The manufacturer does not state a security standard or rating. Security depends on the steel body, the clasp and lock bar, and the padlock you choose. For a large store of valuable tools, use a strong closed-shackle padlock and check the shackle fits the clasp.
Q: What is this site box not suitable for?
A: It is not suitable for fuel, flammable liquids, gas cartridges or other hazardous substances, which need a dedicated store. It is not designed for charging batteries or for lifting by crane. A loaded box should not be moved by hand.
Q: Should I choose a 48 inch or a 32 inch site box?
A: Choose 48 inch for a shared gang store, longer tools or larger power tools. Choose 32 inch for one trade’s kit, a van load area or a tight compound. Both sizes share the same steel body, gas strut lid and padlock locking.
Q: How should a loaded 48 inch site box be moved?
A: Use a forklift through the four raised feet, with the lid closed and locked. Spread the load evenly so the box sits level on the forks. Only a trained operator should carry out the lift.
Q: Will a 48 inch site box fit in a van?
A: It fits larger vans and trucks with a load area of at least 1219mm x 610mm and enough headroom for the lid. Measure the load space and door opening before ordering. Restrain the box so it cannot move in transit.
Q: How often should the site box be checked?
A: Include it in your regular site inspections. Look at the feet, handles, hinges, clasp, lock bar and gas struts. Replace the struts if the lid drops, and clean the box with a damp cloth.
