Installing a toolbox under a truck using the correct brackets ensures your tools are secure, protected, and easily accessible. Follow these step-by-step instructions for a safe and accurate installation.
Begin by assembling the Daken brackets on the toolbox. Drill the fixing points on the external lateral sides of the toolbox and ensure that all bolts use washers.
If you are using “U” brackets, drill additional holes on the forepart of the bottom of the toolbox. Make sure the brackets are correctly aligned before proceeding to the next step.
To prevent torsion or twisting of the toolbox body, ensure the fixing angle of the brackets is orthogonal (90°). Also, confirm that the contact surfaces between the brackets and the truck frame are parallel. Proper alignment at this stage ensures the toolbox sits securely and evenly under the truck body.
Before permanently fixing the toolbox, check that it is well-aligned under the truck. The toolbox should sit flush against the brackets with no gaps or uneven spacing. Make adjustments as needed before tightening all fasteners.
Once aligned, fix the toolbox securely to the brackets using the provided bolts and washers. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the recommended torque specification to prevent movement during transit.
Correctly installing a Daken toolbox using Daken brackets under a truck body ensures your tools are secure, your workspace is organised, and your truck remains safe on the road. Always check bracket alignment and bolt torque for optimal performance.
