Buyers Products 1701679 White Poly Trailer Tongue Box – 18 x 19 x 36 in
Need a tidy, tough spot to stash tools and kit on your trailer? The Buyers Products tongue box is exactly that — no faff, just reliable protection. It’s weather-resistant, resists dents and rust, and won’t weigh down the A-frame any more than it needs to.
Built to protect
The box is moulded from high‑density ribbed polyethylene, so it stands up to knocks and corrosion better than a lot of metal boxes. There’s a double‑wall hinged lid to keep everything dry and out of sight, and a corrosion‑resistant stainless steel hasp that accepts standard padlocks or combination locks. In short: your gear stays put and secure, which is handy if the trailer’s left outside overnight or in harsh weather.
Practical details
- Dimensions: approximately 18 × 19 × 36 inches (about 46 × 48 × 91 cm) — room enough for straps, snow chains, small tools and a first‑aid kit.
- Lightweight construction means it’s straightforward to mount on the front of A‑frame trailers without overloading the tongue.
- Item weight is around 9.5 kg, so it’s easy to handle when fitting or removing.
- Stainless steel hasp resists corrosion — a sensible choice if you’re doing coastal runs or dealing with winter grit.
Why it’s useful
Fed up rummaging in the cab or the back of the van for straps or a ratchet? A lockable box on the trailer tongue keeps frequently used items to hand and stops them rolling about. It’s perfect for holiday trailers, work trailers or a builder’s run‑about — no more digging through loose kit at the lay‑by, which is a proper bonus in winter.
Things to check
Before you buy, check the mounting area on your trailer A‑frame to confirm the fit and fixing method. The hasp will take standard padlocks, but if you plan to use a combination lock it’s worth making sure the shackle size and style suit the hasp opening. And while polyethylene is very durable, pop very sharp tools into bags or holders inside the box to avoid localised wear over time.
Made in the USA by Buyers Products (model 1701679), this trailer tongue box is a straightforward, sensible upgrade for anyone wanting better organisation and protection on the move. No complicated setup — just a durable storage solution that does the job.
