Benefits of fitting an aluminium under tray drawer

Most people own a Ute because it gives them plenty of space to transport tools, equipment, camping gear, plants, furniture, rubbish and everything else. Another reason is that it’s much easier to use a Ute than towing a trailer and yet another is that it’s easier to park. However, if you’re not sure if an aluminium under tray drawer is suitable for your needs, here are five reasons why it’s the best decision you’ll ever make!

1. Additional storage space

Just because you have plenty of space in the back of your Ute doesn’t mean that extra space isn’t important, particularly when you’re creating this space out of thin air! A tray drawer does exactly that – it creates storage space underneath the tray of your Ute where previously, there was no storage. Available in 900mm, 1200mm, 1500mm and 1800mm lengths, you can customise the length of your under tray tool box drawer to suit your needs.

2. Improved organisation

When it comes to organising tools and other gear in the back of your Ute, it’s likely that you’ve already installed a large toolbox. These are ideal for keeping tools organised but small items can still get lost in the bottom of the box and long items may not even fit. A tray drawer gives you the perfect space to store small tools and keep them organised so that they are easily located. It also allows you to store long and thin tools, equipment or gear and make it easily accessible when needed for a job.

3. Keeps your tools safe and secure

Our new generation tray drawer comes with two whale tail compression handles to keep your tools safe and secure. That’s because our whale tail handles come with a key and padlock feature so you can secure the contents safely away from thieves. The under tray drawer also hides your tools and keeps them out of plain sight. This makes it an excellent storage space for expensive tools that are prone to be stolen. Whilst you might have insurance against theft, you still have to manage without the stolen tools for a certain length of time. 

4. Weatherproof storage

The compression whale tail handles not only provide increased security due to their key and padlock feature but they also provide an air-tight seal. This prevents sand, dust and rain from getting into the drawer and potentially damaging your tools or other gear that’s stored in your tray drawer. Weatherproof storage is ideal in Australia wherever you drive!

5. Includes a level work bench

The Dunn & Watson under tray tool box drawer comes with a slimline and fully fitted level work bench that forms a lid on the drawer. Whilst keeping all your gear safe inside the drawer, it also acts as a level work bench or a handy spot to place your tools while working on a job site. The work bench is also fitted with gas struts and secured with heavy-duty clasps to the inside of the under tray drawer. This means that when you release the clasps that hold the bench in place during transport, the gas struts take the weight and make it easy to open the lid and access your tools.
