sweetk30 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 not to be rude but more straps and protection under the straps to box . some guys get SUPER ANAL about there boxes and stuff touching them like that . and they are way more top heavy so more than 1 strap is best . and ALWAYS check the drawers your self for locked . if they start to pop open around a turn you can kiss the box good bye as it will tip . otherwise good luck and slow and steady with them .

sweetk30 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 as long as they were happy and no problems . just was letting you know some techs get super nasty with stuff touching there box . i had a guy YEARS ago in my early years almost hit me for putting a note with scotch tape on his snap-on HD edition box . after that i did not touch unless told i could and when i was towing i asked how they wanted it done and this was my plan and most didnt care but some were glad i asked first . keep them happy and they will keep us hookin !

rreschran Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 As a beat cop years back, I responded to a call of a car crash in a busy beach area intersection. No car crash, but a gigantic rolling toolbox that decided to eject from the carrier that it was riding on top. Toolboxes are risky moves and every precaution (that includes extra padding) is necessary. The tower spent much of the afternoon chasing sockets and wrenches after re-loading the destroyed box. R.

Njsss Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Look closely, 4 pt chains on wheels & additional front & rear straps. Been moving these tool boxes for years, damage free & 100% customer satisfaction If a customer is that particular they wouldn’t call for a rollback. A better suited choice would be enclosed with moving blankets etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I absolutely hate moving tool boxes lol. One thing i always do it put a couple small straps over/around the boxes to ensure that the drawers don't pop open, even when they're locked.

Njsss Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Additional straps used when required, box height etc. Never had an issue with drawers opening on quality tool boxes. Snap-on & Mac locking design works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
