Kenworth T800 Tool & Battery Boxes

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T800 Tool & Battery Boxes

Will these tool and battery boxes fit my Kenworth T800 without modification?

Most tool and battery boxes in this category are designed to mount to the standard frame rail spacing used on the Kenworth T800, but frame rail width and mounting hole patterns can vary by model year and configuration. Before ordering, measure your frame rail width and compare it to the product specifications listed on each item, and check with our team if you are unsure about fitment on your specific truck.

What materials are these boxes made from, and how do they hold up over time?

Boxes in this category are typically constructed from aluminum or steel, often with a diamond plate finish. Aluminum options resist rust and are lighter in weight, while steel boxes tend to offer added durability but require more attention to prevent corrosion over time. Look at the product description for the specific gauge and finish so you know what level of durability to expect.

Are these boxes weatherproof enough to protect tools and batteries from road debris and moisture?

Many boxes include rubber seals, gasketed lids, or weather-stripping to help keep out dust, water, and road spray, but the level of sealing varies by product. If keeping contents completely dry is a priority, check the listing for details on seals and latch style, since some boxes are more heavy-duty than others in this regard.

Do I need any special hardware or brackets to install a new tool or battery box?

Most boxes come with the mounting brackets or hardware needed for a standard frame rail installation, but some setups may require additional brackets depending on your truck's existing configuration or if you are replacing a different style of box. Review the included hardware list on each product page, and reach out to our parts specialists if you have questions before you buy.

Can I get a battery box with a tool box combination, or are they sold separately?

This category includes both standalone tool boxes, standalone battery boxes, and combination units that house both in one enclosure. If you are looking to save space or simplify wiring runs for your batteries, a combo box may be worth considering, but be sure to check the internal dimensions to confirm your battery size and tool storage needs will fit.
