BETTER BUILT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BETTER BUILT from 3G Electric.
What materials are BETTER BUILT jobsite boxes made from?
BETTER BUILT jobsite boxes are fabricated from 16-gauge steel with fully welded seams. The exterior is finished with a durable gray powder-coat paint that provides corrosion resistance. The lid and body are reinforced with internal ribbing for added strength, and the bottom includes a skid for forklift access.
Are BETTER BUILT boxes weather-resistant for outdoor use?
Yes, BETTER BUILT boxes are designed for outdoor job site conditions. The fully welded seams and powder-coat finish help prevent water ingress, and the sloped or chest-style lids are shaped to shed water. However, they are not fully waterproof; for prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional sealing may be considered.
What type of lock does a BETTER BUILT box require?
BETTER BUILT boxes feature a recessed padlock hasp that accepts standard padlocks (lock not included). The recessed design protects the lock from damage during transport or impact. Users should supply their own padlock, typically a hardened steel or shrouded model for maximum security.
Can BETTER BUILT boxes be moved with a forklift?
Yes, all BETTER BUILT jobsite boxes include a bottom skid with fork pockets designed for forklift or pallet jack transport. The skid is integrated into the steel frame, allowing safe movement even when the box is fully loaded. Ensure the load capacity does not exceed the forklift's rating.
What is the difference between chest-style, slope-lid, and piano-style BETTER BUILT boxes?
Chest-style boxes have a flat lid that opens upward, providing full access to the interior. Slope-lid boxes have a slanted lid that sheds water and allows easier access from the front. Piano-style boxes feature a full-length piano hinge and a taller profile, offering more vertical storage capacity. All are made from the same 16-gauge steel and gray powder-coat finish.
