Aluminum for Superior Storage
Aluminum truck boxes, unlike steel alternatives, do not succumb to rust. Aluminum does not contain iron, so it naturally has a protective oxide layer shielding against rusting.
Aluminum is said to have a natural protective oxide layer that helps with corrosion resistance overall, in the form of aluminum oxide that functions as like a shield protecting the metal underneath.
So, Merritt aluminum truck box containers have a better shot of maintaining structural integrity and appearance even after years of exposure to rain, snow, salt, and UV radiation.
Also, aluminum truck boxes typically weigh less than comparable steel units, which improves fuel efficiency and increases payload capacity.
Commercial operators running multiple vehicles can benefit from this weight savings in the form of cost reductions over time, all while maintaining security and organization.
Functional Across Many Applications
For contractors and tradespeople, Merritt truck boxes' customizable compartments and divider systems allow users to divide spaces by tool category. The lockability offers security for expensive equipment, while weather-resistant construction can protect sensitive electronics and precision instruments.
Landscaping professionals can benefit from the corrosion resistance of aluminum construction. Exposure to fertilizers, chemicals, and moisture that would deteriorate steel boxes can be much less effective on properly maintained aluminum units, offering better longevity overall.
Smooth easy-to-clean interior surfaces prevent buildup of debris and contaminants.
Personal Use
Professionals can certainly get a lot out of these boxes, but for personal vehicles these aluminum truck boxes are great for organizing recreational equipment, emergency supplies, and seasonal items.
Whether you are heading to a job site during the week or the campground on weekends, these boxes are great for organizing gear that will also be readily accessible to you.
Design That Makes a Difference
The locking mechanisms use high-grade hardware that offers reliable security without being difficult to operate, allowing quick access to owners.
Automotive-grade door seals improve water resistance. These seals help maintain effectiveness through thousands of opening and closing cycles to keep contents dry in harsh conditions.
Interior organization systems with adjustable components can accommodate tools and equipment of many sizes. (Custom designs are available to meet specific size requirements and other needs).
Installation and Compatibility
Merritt aluminum truck boxes are easy to install. The straightforward installation on most truck models involves securing the mounting systems to existing anchor points when possible, minimizing modifications to the vehicle.
Professional installation can be a sensible investment to ensure optimal fit and finish while maintaining the truck's structural integrity.
The mounting hardware should distribute loads evenly across the truck bed to prevent stress concentrations that could lead to damage over time.
Maintenance: These Boxes Are Built to Last
One of the perks of aluminum truck boxes is the minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike painted steel boxes that require regular touch-ups and rust prevention, cleaning aluminum units is a simple process. We encourage you to ask us about cleaning procedures for any specific product, but in general a combination of soap and water can ensure functionality.
Aluminum's natural oxidation process provides added strength to the surface, creating a protective barrier that becomes more effective with age. For areas exposed to road salt or marine environments, periodic washing with fresh water can remove corrosive residue and contribute to better longevity.
Investment Value
Aluminum truck boxes offer high value as an investment than basic alternatives, as the superior longevity and performance make these boxes an excellent addition over time.
The combination of corrosion resistance, lightweight construction, and minimal maintenance requirements leads to lower total cost of ownership.
For commercial users, the professional appearance of a quality aluminum truck box can contribute professionalism to your company's image and instill confidence in clients and employees alike. The organized and secure storage can also improve efficiency and reduce the risk of tool loss or damage.
