How to organize your equipment in layers
If you need more space and would like to create some, you can try to maximize the space in your truck box by creating layers. You can do this by using shelving, drawers or separators. Here is our suggestion: think about the tools you most often use and make sure they don’t end up at the back or at the very bottom.Mark out specific areas
It might sound quite basic, but your fluids should all be packed in the same place. Is there anything more annoying than a leaking container that gets your gear wet? Create common areas for specific types of equipment and liquids. Make sure that every section is separated by some sort of divider or compartment.
Here’s another idea: in some of the compartments with smaller equipment, use canvas bags. It will make your life easier.Buy foam
Have you ever thought that foam could actually be a cheap, efficient way of creating separate zones in your tool box? You bet ya!
You might wonder where to buy foam? It doesn’t have to be specifically made for trucks so you can buy some at any construction and hardware store nearby. All you need is foam placed in strategic areas to separate the various items that could damage each other in transit and Bingo! Your gear’s life expectancy has just doubled.Ask your Trebor expert about different storage options
