What is the material and thickness of the steel used?

The box is manufactured from 1.5mm and 2.0mm thick steel plates.

Troubleshooting

Gas struts are not holding the lid open

This may indicate wear. Ensure the lid is fully opened; if the issue persists, the gas struts may need replacement. Contact the manufacturer or a specialist for replacement parts.

Lock is stiff or difficult to operate

Check for any debris or obstructions in the lock mechanism. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a specialized lock de-icer. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, which can attract dirt.

Powder coating is chipped or scratched

Clean the affected area. For minor chips, touch-up paint designed for metal surfaces can be used to prevent rust. For larger areas, consider a full repaint with a suitable metal primer and topcoat.

Box rattles when the vehicle is in motion

Ensure the box is securely fixed to the vehicle using the appropriate fixing kit. Check that all bolts are tightened. If the box is not mounted, place anti-vibration mats or rubber padding underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The OX1 is ready for use out of the box for basic tool storage. For vehicle mounting, a specific van box fixing kit is required. This kit typically includes brackets and bolts designed to securely fasten the box to the vehicle's floor or wall. Installation involves positioning the box, marking fixing points, drilling holes, and using the provided hardware to secure it firmly. Always ensure the box is placed on a level surface and that fixing points are structurally sound.

Compatibility: This van box is designed to fit into most standard van interiors. It is also compatible with on-site storage needs. Consider measuring your available space before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Care: To maintain the OX1's finish and functionality:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically check the gas struts and hinges. A light application of silicone lubricant can help ensure smooth operation, especially in dusty or cold conditions.
  3. Inspection: Regularly inspect the box for any signs of damage, particularly around the locking mechanisms and anti-jemmy systems. Ensure all bolts and fixings remain tight.
