Maximizing Storage Capacity with Bawer Tool Boxes

If you need to maximize the storage capacity of your semi truck, adding a new set of Bawer Tool Boxes can do the trick.

The Benefits of Bawer Tool Boxes?

Simply put, you get faster access to your tools, a more secure exterior storage space, cleaner-looking truck layout, and superior weight distribution for storage capacity.

Tool boxes also help keep your sleeper/cab space livable by moving your gear outside of where you work, live, and sleep.

While Bawer boxes can be exceptional on vocational rigs that see a lot of heavy job-site use, they're useful on OTR haulers, alongside standard step boxes like Peterbilt 389 battery boxes. 

The amount of tool boxes you can add, and what size you can mount, depends on how large your truck's frame is, and, frankly, if you have any frame space at all. 

What Sets Bawer Tool Boxes Apart from Competitors?

Exceptional manufacturing, beautiful designs.

Bawer tool boxes are single-structure builds made using minimal robotic welds for a water-tight seal that keeps tools dry.

They also craft heavy-duty add-on accessories and replacement hardware like industrial-strength poly hinges and a patented T-handle for added durability.

What Bawer Tool Boxes Should You Buy?

The right choice largely depends on what kind of truck (a Class 8 highway truck, heavy-duty pickup, or vocational dump truck), where you want to mount it, and what you need your storage capacity to be.

Aside from run-of-the-mill tool boxes, Bawer also crafts specialty tool boxes, transpallet boxes, light bars, fire extinguisher boxes, retrocab storage boxes, snow chain boxes, and more.
