CRYSTAL LAKE, IL - WEATHER GUARD Products flagship saddle box, the Model 127, kicked into high gear with a recent upgrade. The newly enhanced truck box delivers WEATHER GUARD quality with EXTREME PROTECTION security as well as the legendary WEATHER GUARD durability and convenience.
EXTREME PROTECTION, exclusive to WEATHER GUARD, is a tamper-resistant locking system that discourages theft and protects against break-ins, whether at the work site or overnight.
For added convenience, the 127 is equipped with new attachment points for securing tools and supplies in the truck bed. New ³Easy Find² organization includes an adjustable metal tray, a new removable parts bin and a level holder.
³Our flagship truck box has always been very popular with larger, commercial contractors,² said Bill Zbylut, VP Marketing. ³We think our customers will appreciate all the enhancements along with the industry leading Limited Lifetime Warranty.²
A durable and attractive truck box, the 127¹s heavy-duty construction features a reinforced aluminum body and powder-coat finish. Latch linkage protection, gas spring guards and lock guards shield against shifting cargo.
Another innovative detail is the saddle box¹s 12V pass-through that allows for recharging power equipment securely. A full weather seal protects contents by keeping out moisture and dust even in extreme conditions.
