Heavy-Duty Custom Truck Toolboxes
Time and tools are valuable commodities to service truck owners. Drawer Packs save both of them, says Myron Thiessen, parts manager for Soaring Eagle H.D. Truck Parts and Accessories.
About 3 years ago, the Canadian manufacturers, noted for building semi-truck HVAC boxes and other trucking accessories, responded to customers’ requests to build toolboxes for their service trucks.
“They came to us and said how difficult it was to get what they wanted in a timely manner that was cost-effective,” Thiessen says, instead of the 30 to 40 weeks it was taking to get custom toolboxes.
Soaring Eagle came up with a design to keep standard sizes on hand and the ability to deliver product within 1 to 2 mos. For more custom sizes, turnaround time is 2 to 4 mos.
Customers order the overall size they need and specific drawer measurements to hold their tools. Built with heavy-duty slides and 11-gauge aluminum, each drawer can hold up to 500 lbs.
“Each drawer is removable to allow customers to move parts or tools to any area of their job site,” Thiessen says, and each drawer has a lock and key. Customers like the handy T-handles that make it easier to open the drawer when wearing heavy gloves.
Drawer Packs range from standard models at $1,100 to $4,000 for completely customized orders.
“We’re a younger, smaller company, so we work with our customers to give them personal attention,” Thiessen says. That means customers receive quotes quickly and aren’t handed off from one department to another.
All products can be ordered directly from the company and shipped anywhere in the U.S. and Canada.
