Video Transcript for Breaking Down the UWS A-Frame Trailer Toolbox

What's up everybody, it's AJ with etrailer.com Today we'll be checking out this UWS Aluminum Toolbox for A-frame Trailers. This one's gonna be a low profile. As you can see, it's not quite above the trailer. It sits a little bit lower, so if you're worried about any kinda visual intrusions from one that's a little bit higher, covering up anything in your trailer, this one's not gonna have that. Let's check it out. Just something to think about before you get your toolbox, is make sure you look at your trailer.

This is gonna be for A-frame trailers. So look about how much space you have, whether it's, how it's gonna mount, or if there's things in the way. Even your jack, if the jack was here, it'd be kind of in the way of this box a little bit. I saw it luckily, our jack is up here at the front, so it's out the way. It also is winded-up at the top.

Now this one's a little further away, but if it was any closer, you'd have to worry about that handle, hitting that toolbox. So if it was a side winder here, it'd be a little easier. There's a lot of different combinations for trailers so just make sure you check yours out. Make sure it's gonna work with this toolbox. Then it comes to installing it, that's gonna be different for each trailer as well.

You will have to get your own hardware to do that. So whether it's U-bolts on the sides here, or you mount it on every corner. As a toolbox, you will have to drill through it. Ours has a slot here in the center of our trailer. So we'll drill holes in the center and that's just gonna help us out, not having to drill into the trailer at all.

Looking at the lid, it's gonna be foam-filled and it has this bevel down here. So it's gonna cover up the lip, it doesn't just stop there. So that's nice that it has that, to where it's harder to get a tool up in the there to try and pry it open. And it also keeps the elements from getting in, coming up, and through into the main box. Opening it, to take a better look. You can kind of hear that it's not just hollow like the rest of the box, that's really loud. So the foam in there, that kinda acts like an insulation and helps it keep it shaped. So if you we're to set something kind of heavy on top you wouldn't have to worry about denting it or crushing it in as much, because it's gonna be there pushing out to kind of help keep it shape. It has gas-strut assisted opening. So it's really easy for it to just to pop-up and get into that box. You don't have to hold onto it or help the lid go up, and that will add 2" to the back. So make sure you have that wherever you keep this mounted, you don't want the lid to make contact with the trailer. On the inside of the toolbox, it's gonna have 2.9 cu ft of space, in there. So that's plenty for your tools. We have some elastic straps, a bag, and some other things in here. Our jack, just to help out just in case, with room spare. And it's nice, it just keeps it all nice in there, rather then sprawled out on the trailer, back here. Take a look how it latches. We've got the latch up here and the catch down here, so I can push down on the lid and really easy to open it. That works every time, I like that, super easy to do. And then it's also gotta lock with it. You can lock it up when you're not around. Turn the key and then it won't open. Looking at the outside, it's got the aluminum finish with the diamond-plate pattern on the outside. I think it makes it look nice. I think it's gonna be easier and hold-up better to scratches with just that texture on there, it looks nicer. The glossy one seemed like they scratch really easy and you can see it really easy. The diamond pattern's gonna cover that up a little bit. Now, if the low profile box isn't working for you, you have too much stuff, it's gonna fill to the brim. You need a little more space, this one's 13" tall. There's another one from UWS, that isn't low profile. So it's gonna sit up a little bit more. It's gonna be 21" tall, and same dimensions for the A-frame trailer, just a little more height, to fit the few more item in there, if you need it. Overall, I think the toolbox is a great addition to your trailer. As long as it fits on there, makes sure you go ahead and you know, all the things I said. Make sure the jack's not in the way, you've got plenty of space for it, but once it's on there I think it's a great addition just to keep all your tools up front, in the same space. Easier to find, not cluttering up the trailer, plus it just encourage you to keep it nice and neat in here. And you can lock it up, so you don't have to worry about anybody getting in your stuff, when you're not around. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and I hope this helped..
