You Can’t Go Wrong with Jobox On-Site Storage

Posted by Truck Man @ 6:08 pm, February 15th, 2010

The Jobox brand is well-known for security, strength, and durability. In fact, Jobox is an industry leader in the manufacture of on-site and truck storage. Their on-site storage chests have innovative and practical features that set them apart from competitors. For example, Jobox has developed the Site-Vault Security System, which locks at three points and has cover plates protecting all three lock hooks. It also requires only one padlock for convenience, but surrounds the padlock with fully-welded 14-gauge steel, making the single padlock more secure than the double padlocks found on other storage. Joboxes also include EZ-Loader Skid Bolsters, allowing them to be forklifted from all sides, for maximum convenience. The bolsters also reinforce the bottom of the Jobox to help store heavy loads and to protect the box if dropped.

Joboxes come in a variety of styles, including the classic gang box. These boxes have heavily reinforced lids to protect against break-ins and support any heavy cargo placed on their tops. They have 1-inch locking arms to support lids when they are open, and staked and welded hinges with pins that cannot be driven out. Gang boxes also have recessed side handles to eliminate injuries when lifting the box, and to protect handles when they are not being used. Jobox gang boxes are available in a variety of sizes with optional removable trays also available.

Jobox Piano Boxes feature lids that fold up and back, leaving the top and much of the front of the box open. This configuration makes it much easier to store heavier items because the clearance height is much lower than in traditional boxes. Optional drop-front boxes are even easier to load, with a front panel that folds down into a ramp, allowing heavy items to be wheeled right into the box. Piano boxes have plenty of room for storage, with bins located along the sides and shelves along the back. Side and top handles are recessed for safety, and gas spring guards assist with the opening and closing of the lid. Side walls are thicker, with recessed edges that allow the lid to overlap, for protection from pry bars and moisture. Piano boxes are available in a variety of sizes, including a high-capacity box that is almost 5 feet tall and has 75% more storage capacity.

The Job Site Field Office is the largest and most complex of the Jobox models. It is over 6 feet tall, and its main door opens to reveal an entire workstation with plenty of specialized storage. The main door has stainless steel hinges and a door safety pin latch for extra durability and safety. The main compartment has an upper storage shelf, steel pegboard, side storage bins, and overhead tube storage. The large white desktop is easily propped up and has storage underneath. Beneath the main door, two additional doors open to reveal more storage space. These cabinets have stainless steel hinges and extra shelf storage built into the doors. A 30 cubic ft. storage locker can be accessed from the side, and stores objects up to 60-inches in length.

Start the New Year Off Right with an Organized Garage

Posted by Truck Man @ 3:08 pm, January 7th, 2010

The New Year always presents a good excuse to sort through all your old stuff. Donate, sell, or pitch your little used possessions and organize whatever is left. People often focus on clothes, books, and other household objects while completely ignoring an entire room: the garage. The longer you ignore it, the messier it gets, and the cycle continues. So this year, avoid it no longer and get your garage cleaned up and organized.

A good start is a Jobox Utility Cabinet. Cabinets like these can keep all your tools and materials organized and protected. They come in a variety of sizes and are made of heavily-reinforced 16-gauge steel. All corners of the door frame have 7-inch steel gusset reinforcements that add extra rigidity.  Each door is 3-inches deep and is formed on all sides for superior strength that will resist break-ins. The doors come with built-in shelves, which are perfect for storing smaller items, and open with a hand or foot operated latch release.

Another great organizational tool is the system of Go Rhino Garage Organizers. One of the easiest was to stay organized is to have a designated spot for everything, making it easy to find exactly what you need and to remember where it goes when you are finished. The Go Rhino system can easily accomplish this goal because it includes numerous specialized shelves, bins, and racks. There are specialized holders for aerosol cans, oil quarts, flashlights, duct tape rolls, extension cords, and spark plugs. In addition, there are different sizes of shelves and storage bays that can be arranged in a customized configuration. Also of note is the lockable organizer, which may be a good place to keep dangerous chemicals. Most of these organizers are available in red and white powdercoat, and some are available in black as well. Use one color for cohesion or use all three and have color-coded areas to group similar items.

Finally, if you do a lot of work in your garage, you may want to invest in Foam Floor Pads. They are used to improve comfort on concrete floors. The foam gives you a nice little cushion to stand on so your feet and knees aren’t pressing down on hard concrete for extended periods. The pads come in 1 ft. square interlocking tiles, which can be arranged in multiple configurations. Each pack contains 16 tiles, which can make a 16×1 ft. strip, an 8×2 ft. rectangle, or a 4×4 ft. square. You can also use multiple packages to cover a greater area, and to customize your tiles to your specific space. Tiles are lightweight and easy to clean. Hopefully, these suggestions will help you in transforming your garage into an efficient and organized work space. Now, once spring comes, you won’t have to waste time with “Spring Cleaning”, you can jump right into the first project!
