Storage Boxes

Thanks Dazza, looks like the thing, probably got better seals than the Bunnings also

Wow they are heavy. 70cm long (small one) and it ways 10KG empty. Must be strong, but too much weight for roof racks I think.

Those techniice boxes are similar to what is issued to our military personel for personal gear storage & transport.
They replace the tin or wodden trunk of the past.
They are possibly a bit big for what the op is considering.

If you are looking for something decent..stop looking at bunnings.

Find your local camping shop that supplies military personell..there is one near nearly every army base.

Or seek out a commercial storage suplier that deals with the catering, or industrial market.

There are also so blow or rotary moulded boxes in the sound & music market.....but they wont be on most music stores.

you realy have to look past the standard retail stores to find good stuff.

cheers

Why stop looking at Bunnings, they also sell Space Cases!

Bunnings Parafield had Pelican brand cases when I was in there last week; Pelican case at Bunnings ;)

I was in Bunnings yesterday and they sell the Pelican and Kingchrome brand of spacecases

Spacecases are now branded as Pelican Spacecase. Same product and you have to try hard to kill them. I dragged 2 across Nth Qld in the back of the ute and not a spot of dust got into them.

Also available in a wide range of sizes and profiles that would suit a roof rack.

Just searched Bunnings web site, they do Pelican cases.
I think they are very similar to Spacecase.
In fact went out to shed and checked, they are identical.

As another option - I use Nelly fish tubs. 3 fit across the roofrack, they come in a range of sizes, will last forever, and arent 'too' expensive. A lot better in my opinion than a lot of other storage options. I get mine from Staley food / catering supplies... I secure the lid with a cable tie.
