Tool Boxes and Tool Cabinets Information

by Dam Steel D.A.M Steel Fabrications manufactures Custom Toolb

Aluminium Toolboxes and cabinets are generally constructed with plastic and/or metal materials. Drawers can be included and can sometimes be removed completely for easy access and refilling. Most tool cabinets and boxes have handles for lifting and moving and slots for labelling.

Types of Tool Boxes and Cabinets


There are many different styles of toolboxes and cabinets which can be classified based on the materials of construction. The most common materials used for construction are steel, aluminium, stainless steel, and plastic.


  • Steel designs are the most durable of all toolbox and cabinet types. They provide exceptional strength and longevity and are easy to care for.

  • Aluminium toolboxes and cabinets are popular because they are lightweight, relatively durable, and have good corrosion resistance. Aluminium toolboxes are commonly found in pickup truck beds.

  • Plastic toolboxes are useful for their non-corrosive characteristics, lightweight, and lower cost. Plastic may be less durable than metals, but it will resist rises in temperature (making plastic convenient for handle construction). Plastic has the advantage of allowing for transparency and it can also be easily cleaned with soap and water. They are ideal for recreational use.

  • Stainless steel toolboxes utilize stainless steel alloy which is lighter weight and more corrosion resistant than standard grade steel. Boxes and cabinets with this material are used in residential and commercial garages, race environments, and other applications. Stainless steel toolboxes and cabinets are intended for cleanroom and anti-corrosive environments due to their strength and wear-resistance properties. They tend to cost more than standard steel designs.


Tool cabinets and boxes also utilize other types of materials in their construction, including wood for more decorative products. Toolboxes and cabinets usually consist of an individual or group of drawers or cribs for storage and organization of tools, which may also be ergonomic and allow for growth and adjustments. The addition of rollers on boxes and cabinets, especially large ones, allows for portability in-home or work environments.


Regardless of whether their toolbox is made of aluminium or steel, the best truck toolbox by far is the underbody toolbox. This is the one customers return to again and again as the most reliable, practical, and high-performing of all the aluminium toolboxes. Most commonly used to store chains and binders, you can also customize it to hold any of their tools with Aluminium Toolboxes customization tool.


What’s more, this underbody aluminium toolbox can be further customized with one of 4 door options based on their needs: fold-down, fold up, fold left, and fold right. Double doors on the passenger or driver’s side are easy to do, too! Top it off with their choice of stainless steel handle options and you are ready to hit the road.


Another reason the underbody toolbox is so high-performing is that it does its job without taking up extra space needed for cargo. It is also easily accessible and will help streamline all of their routines and keep all of their equipment easily accessible. So whether you are an aluminium person or a steel person doesn’t matter, because everybody is an underbody toolbox person at heart.
