Default I-beam trailer toolbox

Is there any company that makes a box or a mount for a toolbox for an I-beam trailer frame? I don't have room on the tongue. My internet searches haven't turned up anything.

You can make it work with U-bolts. Best thing to do is contact a local 4x4 shop that can make custom U-bolts (for suspensions). Or you could make your own with all-thread and a piece of aluminum.

But yes, you do want them as far forward and a high on the trailer as possible. I've had my boxes full of water before due to launching/retrieving on crappy boat ramps, and it's a giant PITFA.

Yea I hear ya on the issues with them. I had mounted one on my previous boats trailer using J clamps and reinforcing the mounting points on the box itself. Was hoping there was something specificlly made for an I beam. Thanks for the input.

I always get water in my trailer box. I started putting stuff in those small trashcans like in your office cubicles. Keeps chit dry and drilled a couple extra holes in bottom of box to drain out. fast.
