A well-organised ute is essential for tradespeople, adventurers and everyday drivers who rely on efficient storage solutions. One of the easiest ways to optimise space while keeping tools secure and easily accessible is by investing in durable undertray toolboxes. These toolboxes provide extra storage without taking up valuable tray space, allowing you to carry more while keeping your gear neatly arranged.

As experts in ute storage solutions, we at Chivalry Tray & Canopy understand how important it is to find the right tool organisation option for your ute. In this blog, we’ll guide you through how to select the right undertray toolbox for your vehicle and highlight some of the top products available on the market. 

Why choosing the right undertray toolbox matters

Selecting the right undertray toolbox is crucial for maximising storage efficiency and ensuring that your tools remain protected from harsh weather conditions, theft and damage. 

  • Optimised space usage — Unlike traditional toolboxes that sit in the tray, undertray toolboxes make use of otherwise unused space, freeing up your tray for larger loads or additional equipment.
  • Improved tool organisation — Keeping tools organised reduces the risk of damage and loss, making it easier to find what you need when you need it.
  • Enhanced security — With lockable compartments, undertray toolboxes help safeguard valuable tools and equipment from theft.
  • Weather protection — Undertray toolboxes shield your gear from dust, rain and extreme temperatures, preserving your equipment’s lifespan and reliability. 

How to choose the right undertray toolbox to maximise storage 

When selecting an undertray toolbox, we recommend considering the following factors to ensure you choose the best option for your ute storage solutions:

  1. Size 

Measure the available space under your ute’s tray to ensure the toolbox fits seamlessly without interfering with other components. Choose a size that maximises storage without compromising ground clearance or vehicle functionality.

  1. Material and durability

Look for heavy-duty aluminium or steel toolboxes that offer strength and durability while being lightweight. Stainless steel options provide added corrosion resistance, making them ideal for harsh environments.

  1. Security features

Opt for toolboxes with heavy-duty locks and reinforced construction to prevent unauthorised access. Some models feature dual locking mechanisms for enhanced security.

  1. Weather resistance

A toolbox with rubber seals and weatherproof coatings will keep dust, water and debris out, ensuring your tools remain dry and undamaged.

  1. Storage capacity and internal organisation

Consider toolboxes with built-in compartments or dividers to enhance tool organisation and prevent smaller items from shifting around during transit.
