705H Series – Half Lid Steel Toolbox

For quick, easy access without the hassle of dropping your tray sides, the 705H Series Half Lid Steel Toolbox is the smart choice. Its half-height tilt door opens upward over the top of the box, so you can get to your gear even when your ute’s drop-sides are up — a real convenience on day-to-day jobs. Low-profile and tough, it’s ideal for tradies and tourers who want secure storage that’s simple to live with.

Constructed from 1.5mm powder-coated steel and finished in white, the 705H Half Lid is built to last. A full-length internal shelf keeps smaller tools and parts organised, and a water-resistant rubber seal helps keep dust and water out.

Why Choose the 705H Half Lid Steel Toolbox

The half-lid design is all about everyday convenience. Because the door only opens over the upper half of the box, you don’t need to lower your tray drop-sides to get in — handy when you’re loading and unloading throughout the day. At 705mm high and 505mm deep, it keeps a low profile that saves tray space and fits under most roof racks, while the full-length shelf helps you keep smaller items sorted. If easy, no-fuss access is your priority, this is the configuration to choose.

H2: Mounting, Weight and Workplace Safety

Even a low-profile steel box adds weight that counts toward your payload, so secure mounting and load distribution matter. Before you fit and load it, get across the relevant guidance:

• The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s Load Restraint Guide explains how to secure loads safely and legally.
• The Australian Government’s vehicle standards and Australian Design Rules cover GVM, payload and modifications.
• For worksite tool and equipment handling, Safe Work Australia publishes national WHS guidance.
• State authorities such as Transport for NSW and VicRoads set state-specific load and modification rules.

Always keep your loaded vehicle within its rated GVM and axle limits.
