Custom Tow Truck Tool Boxes — Built To Fit Your Truck And Your Operation
A tow truck operator's tool box is not a convenience — it's a working part of the rig. It carries the equipment that makes every job possible: chains, binders, dollys, go-yaks, straps, safety equipment, and all the tools of the trade. When the tool box is too small, the wrong shape for the available space, or poorly mounted, it affects how every job runs. A custom-fabricated tool box built to the dimensions of your truck and the storage requirements of your operation is a different thing entirely from an off-the-shelf box forced into a space it doesn't quite fit.
At Quik Tow Repair, custom tool box fabrication is part of Gio's confirmed service list — it's something the shop builds regularly for tow truck operators across SoCal. We fabricate tool boxes from heavy-gauge steel to steel fabrication and welding industry standards, with door configurations, lock hardware, and compartment layouts designed around what you actually need to store. Every tool box is fabricated and installed in the same shop visit — we don't hand you a box and send you elsewhere to mount it.
Bring the truck or bring the measurements. We look at the available space, discuss your storage requirements, and design a tool box that fits the truck and the operation. Simple single-compartment boxes are often ready in 2–3 days. More complex multi-compartment boxes with drawers or custom hardware take longer — we give you a clear timeline before any work begins.

Tool Box Fabrication Services We Offer
Every tool box is fabricated in-house at our Pomona shop to your dimensions and specifications. Installation is included in every tool box job.
01🧰 Single-Compartment Tool Boxes
The most common tool box configuration — a single enclosed storage compartment with a hinged door, locking hardware, and a drain hole. We build single-compartment boxes in any size that fits the available space on the truck, using steel gauge selected for the weight the box will carry.
- › Dimensions built to available space on truck
- › Steel gauge matched to storage weight
- › Piano hinge or butt hinge door options
- › Keyed lock hardware included
- › Drain hole and weatherstrip sealing
02📦 Multi-Compartment Tool Boxes
When storage needs are more complex — separating chains from straps, keeping tools organized, or storing different equipment types in different sections — a multi-compartment box solves it. We build multi-compartment boxes with internal dividers, multiple doors, and section sizing designed around what you're storing.
- › Section sizing designed around storage requirements
- › Multiple door options — same-side or split access
- › Internal dividers and tray options
- › Individual locks per compartment if needed
- › Weatherstrip sealing on all doors
03🔧 Under-Body Tool Boxes
Under-body tool boxes mount beneath the truck frame or body — keeping storage low and out of the way while maximizing the truck's usable bed or body space. Common on flatbeds and rollbacks where bed space is at a premium. We fabricate under-body boxes to the clearance and dimension constraints of the specific truck.
- › Clearance-verified dimensions
- › Mounting brackets fabricated as part of the job
- › Access door designed for under-body reach
- › Structural attachment to frame or subframe
- › Drain and ventilation built in
04🔩 Side-Mount & Stake-Side Tool Boxes
Side-mounted tool boxes on wreckers and integrated units — mounted to the body sides, stake pockets, or custom brackets. We fabricate side-mount boxes in any configuration, with bracket design and installation included in the same job.
- › Side clearance and access verified
- › Stake-side mounting or custom bracket options
- › Single or double-door configuration
- › Lock hardware for each access point
- › Body-matched finish options
05🛠 Tool Box Repair & Restoration
Damaged doors, cracked corner welds, bent panels, broken locks, and worn hinges can all be repaired. A tool box that's structurally sound but has component failures doesn't need to be replaced — it needs to be repaired. We assess the damage and repair what needs repairing, replacing only what can't be saved.
- › Full tool box inspection and damage assessment
- › Panel straightening and crack repair
- › Door and hinge replacement
- › Lock hardware replacement
- › Weatherstrip and seal replacement
06📐 Custom Configuration & Modification
Existing tool box doesn't work anymore? Storage requirements changed? New equipment doesn't fit? We modify existing tool boxes — adding a compartment, relocating a door, resizing for a new position, or building an entirely new box to replace one that's beyond repair.
- › Configuration assessment and redesign
- › Compartment addition or removal
- › Door relocation or replacement
- › Resizing for new mounting position
- › Full reinstallation after modification
Why SoCal Tow Truck Operators Choose Quik Tow Repair For Tool Box Work
Built For Your Truck
Every tool box is designed around the actual available space on your specific truck — not a standard size forced into a space it doesn't fit. We measure before we fabricate.
Heavy-Gauge Steel
We don't use lightweight sheet metal that dents on the first job. Tow truck tool boxes get physical abuse — we build them from steel gauge that handles it.
Fabricate & Install
One visit, one job. We build the box and mount it. You don't need a separate installer or a second trip.
Fast Turnaround
Simple single-compartment boxes are ready in 2–3 days. We don't make tool box fabrication into a multi-week project when it doesn't need to be.
Tow Truck Specific
We understand the space constraints, clearance requirements, and mounting locations on all tow truck types. We've built boxes for flatbeds, wreckers, rollbacks, and integrated units across SoCal.
Fleet Orders
Fleet operators needing the same box across multiple trucks get template-based fabrication — consistent design, consistent dimensions, consistent installation, every truck.
How Tool Box Fabrication Works At Our Shop
From your first call to a custom-built, installed tool box on your truck — here is what to expect.
Call 888-628-4008 or submit our form. Tell us what you need to store and approximately where on the truck. A quick conversation scopes the project before you bring the truck in.
We measure the available space on the truck and discuss compartment requirements, door configuration, and hardware. You receive a written estimate covering dimensions, material, and installation timeline before any fabrication begins.
No work starts without your written approval. We cut, form, and weld the tool box, dry-fit before final weld, and confirm dimensions before installation.
Tool box is mounted to the truck using welded brackets or bolted hardware as appropriate. Doors, locks, and hinges are verified. Installation confirmed before pickup.
