Work Truck Storage Shovel Baskets
If you drive a commercial utility truck or work in construction, a shovel basket (or shovel box) is an open-top, perforated storage container mounted to a truck or trailer frame. Go Industries manufactures large metal baskets (often 72″ x 18″ x 10″) to safely secure long-handled tools while allowing dirt and debris to fall through the bottom mesh.
Go Industries shovel baskets are commercial-grade, open-mesh steel boxes designed for utility vehicles. Fleet managers and independent tradespeople use them to maximize flatbed space and keep equipment organized.
-
- Securing long-handled tools: Crews drop in long shovels, rakes, brooms, and pry bars to prevent them from rolling around loose in the truck bed.
- Separating muddy gear: Workers throw dirty, wet tools directly into the basket to keep the main truck cab or closed toolboxes clean.
- Preventing theft on the job: Operators run heavy-duty cable locks through the steel mesh frame to lock expensive tools down while away from the vehicle.
💨 Debris Management & Easy Cleaning
The perforated mesh design serves a highly practical function for crews dealing with messy outdoor environments.
-
- Self-cleaning storage: Dirt, gravel, and mud fall straight through the bottom mesh while driving, preventing debris buildup.
- Hose-down cleaning: Workers spray dirty shovels with a pressure washer right inside the basket, letting the water drain instantly.
- Drying wet equipment: Air flows completely through the open steel frame, allowing wet straps, tarps, and safety gear to air-dry fast.
🚛 Heavy Machinery & Trailer Add-ons
Beyond standard flatbed mounting, these rugged boxes are frequently adapted for specialized transport setups.
- Trailer tongue mounting: Landscapers bolt the basket to the front triangle tongue of utility trailers to utilize dead space.
- Dump truck underbody storage: Heavy construction crews mount them beneath dump beds to hold asphalt rakes and scrapers.
- Semi-truck headache racks: Long-haul drivers attach them behind the cab to carry emergency equipment, tire clubs, and chains.
