Van storage box

[Hitch]

Decided to make a made to meausure van vault type box it go in my van.

Slightly lighter than proper van vaults, 1.5 instead of 2mm to keep weight down a bit.

Made from zintec sheet, folded up, ends welded on, top folded up, diamonded for a bit of extra strength.
Mortice lock, gas struts...

 

[Wozzaaah]

Nice work Hitch, reckon you might get a few orders for them

cool. how did you diamond the top?

 

[Hitch]

Done in a press brake Steve, First folds are the diamond, just do a shallow press corner to corner, then the opposite corners. Then do all the other folds.

Easy if you have the stuuf to do it with

I had a work colleague that had one stolen from his van, He got a new one and had it bolted in the van. Perhaps an idea to put a few anchorage points at the bottom to bolt it in.

Its not just sat in there

Its not just sat in there

Is it welded in?

 

[Hitch]

No, only a number of heavy screws. Youd never get it out full up anyway. Its a tight squeeze.
