Why Aluminium Toolboxes?
If you’re wondering why you should purchase an aluminium toolbox for your work vehicle, here are just a few of the reasons.
Aluminium Is More Flexible Than Steel
We all know that steel is stronger than aluminium, but this might not be a good thing when it comes to your toolbox. Think about it like this, if your steel toolbox takes a beating, it’s probably going to crack and break at the seams. However, if your aluminium toolbox takes a beating out on the job, it’ll have a few dents that are easy to bang out later.
Aluminium Is Lighter Than Steel
One significant benefit of using an aluminium toolbox over a steel one is the weight factor. Aluminium weighs about 2600kg per cubic metre, whereas steel weighs about 7,850kg per cubic metre. When you are driving around all day, the last thing that you need is excess weight on the back of your truck. Not only does carrying heavier loads put more strain on the vehicle, but it will also end up costing you more in petrol. So, opt for a lighter option, and you’ll thank yourself in the long run.
Aluminium Will Not Rust
Despite anti-corrosion treatment, steel will still end up rusting over time. However, aluminium is naturally non-rusting because the chemical reaction between aluminium and oxygen actually produces a protective layer, more commonly known as aluminium oxide. This protective film is anti-corrosive because it is chemically secure and does not react further when in contact with water or more oxygen.
