When choosing the size of your ute toolbox, consider the amount of gear you need to store, your ute’s tray space and the weight your ute can carry. Be sure to measure your ute tray before purchasing to ensure a perfect fit. Keep in mind that ute tray toolboxes can weigh over 200kg, and tools will add extra weight, so consider your ute’s load rating.

The right size depends on your tray dimensions and what you’re hauling. The 700H Series is a great all-rounder, with a 700mm height that suits most setups. For smaller utes, the 900mm and 1220mm lengths keep things compact. If you’re packing serious gear or working from a larger ute, the 850H and 950H Series come in longer lengths like 1565mm and 1750mm, giving you heaps of storage without cramping your tray space.

It all comes down to how you work and what you’re hauling. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular options:

• Ute canopy toolboxes are ideal for trades that carry a full kit – like electricians, plumbers or maintenance contractors. They offer maximum internal space and can be customised with shelves, drawers, and partitions to keep everything organised. They’re also great for 4WD touring setups when you need gear locked away but accessible on the go.
• Minebox toolboxes are compact, secure and perfect for trades that use smaller tools and consumables, suitable for HVAC techs, painters or detailers. Their slimline design saves tray space while still offering reliable storage with reinforced locks and seals.
• Under-tray toolboxes are best for anyone needing to keep their tray clear for large or irregular loads, such as builders, landscapers, or fencing contractors. Mounted under the tray, they provide hidden, easy-access storage for your most-used tools without taking up valuable surface area. They’re especially popular for dual cabs and smaller utes where tray space is limited.
