Undertray Toolboxes: Reclaiming Your Ute’s Dead Space

Undertray Toolboxes: Reclaiming Your Ute's Dead Space

An undertray toolbox mounts beneath your ute tray, in the space between the wheel and the tail that otherwise carries nothing. It’s the easiest way to add lockable, sealed storage without touching your tray deck.

Why undertray space is gold

Recovery gear, straps, a jack, chains, chemicals — the heavy, dirty items you don’t want in the canopy. An undertray box keeps them low, secure and out of the weather while freeing the deck for real loads.

Triangular design

HARIO undertray boxes are shaped to fill the wedge between the rear wheel and the tail — a triangular box that uses every millimetre and bolts straight to the chassis.

Single or combo?

Fit one side, or run a matched undertray combo both sides for maximum storage. Sealed, lockable, and built from marine-grade aluminium.

What fits in an undertray box?

The heavy, dirty gear you don’t want in the canopy: recovery straps, shackles, a jack, chains, tie-downs, chemicals and spares. Keeping them low and locked improves your load balance and frees the canopy for tools.

Mounting and access

HARIO undertray boxes bolt straight to the chassis and open with a drop-down or side door depending on the side. The triangular shape uses the full wedge between wheel and tail without fouling the exhaust or suspension.
