4 Types of Storage Options for Your Work Truck

Admin • Feb 17, 2021
Americans often love their trucks because these vehicles perfectly fuse utility and freedom. A pickup truck's versatility, ease of customization, rugged performance, and array of innovative features makes it the ultimate vehicle. Automotive companies sold 3 million of these trucks in 2019 to make them one of the most dominant vehicle categories in the new car market.

One of the essential upgrades for your pickup truck is a storage system. Discover some of the best storage truck storage systems you can choose.

1. Ladder Racks 

If you rely on your truck to haul bulky items, a ladder rack is an ideal accessory to increase storage capacity. The rack system helps to transport ladders, conduits, and other bulky items that won't fit in the truck bed.

A ladder rack is a safe and efficient storage system that comes with fasteners and other hardware to hold cargo securely. The best rack system has automated functions so that workers can easily and safely load and unload bulky items. The storage system also boosts productivity as you save time on bulky cargo handling.

2. Sliding Bed Trays 

A slide-out tray is a heavy-duty storage system that's safe, versatile, and economical to use. If you want to get the most out of your truck, a sliding bed tray should top your truck accessories. With this innovative storage unit, you get an extended truck bed area to carry more cargo.

Custom truck body companies customize these storage trays to suit different cargo weights. Some cargo trays boast over 100% expansion capability, and the extended length allows you to haul your equipment and gear.

3. Truck Toolboxes 

Toolboxes are among the most popular storage solutions for trucks. You have a wide variety of toolbox designs, sizes, and shapes to choose from. Discover some toolbox systems you can fix on your truck bed:

  • Wheel well boxes. This hinged toolbox goes behind the rear wheel well humps.
  • Side mount boxes. This storage system is fixed on the bed rail along the inner length of a truck bed for easy access.
  • Chest toolbox. This large sturdy toolbox goes on the floor behind the driver's cab. The storage system is ideal for larger tools.
  • Hitch cargo carrier. This toolbox is fixed on the trailer hitch system to save on space in the truck bed.
  • Fifth wheel boxes. This toolbox is designed to fit comfortably on the truck bed and accommodate the fifth wheel towing set up.
  • Drawer storage. This storage unit maximizes truck bed space, enhances productivity, and efficiency on your work truck. Workers can easily find work tools in marked drawers. You can customize these drawers to suit any size and shape you need for your cargo transportation.

4. Cargo Nets
When transporting items on your open truck, cargo netting comes in handy to hold down the load. The material is elastic, strong, and secure, and it protects your cargo against damage. A cargo net also protects other motorists in case an item drops off from your truck.

A pickup is the ultimate workhorse and always gets the job done. To get more out of your truck, install one of these aftermarket storage units. The versatile truck storage systems allow you to maximize truck space and transport cargo safely.
