That new gigantic Craftsman Professional series box?

I've seen one at my local Sears; it's almost as big as a car!

We have ruled out green, Which is odd for nissan_crawler. Could it be another orange one maybe? something that feel off the truck?

Yes indeed 12 hrs is more then enough time to get it out of the box and inside. Who needs sleep when there are addicts waiting for pictures!

Wow, Im not to sure about the chain/load binder method there. Its not mine but i think that would cause alot of stress on the corners when you lift possibly denting whatever it is you have covered up. My 2 cents....

Yeah it looks like he gave up on that idea - he's gonna roll it down the ramps maybe.

To me it looks like he used the engine crane to put the wheels on. But it was too much of a pain to hook up again, so he put the ramps out to get it off.

To me it looks like he used the engine hoist for the top box, and the roller cab already had wheels on it.

I'm thinking the casters should have already been on a box like that. What I can't figure out though, is why didn't he loop a lifting sling down around the bottom of the pallet and connect it to the cherry picker for lifting the box off the trailer? :dunno:

Haha...I was just lifting the wooden cover off of the top box, guys. The top box comes with lifting eyes for it. It was just an easy way to lift a damn tight fitting wood cover that weighed an easy 60 lbs without ripping it apart.

There will be an entire review done with lots of pictures, and all questions asked. This is serial #1 of this bottom box style. It's built by Montezuma for stritlytoolboxes.com (global72/shannon on here).

However, first I have to get the garage torn down, rearranged, and put back together to fit this and the other two boxes it's replacing for the time being, and get everything in from the weather.
