Coupling Masterforce 72” and 41” boxes

[sazche12]

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has bolted the 41” Masterforce box to the 72” Masterforce box. I know there would be a height difference with the casters being different. I am also assuming there would have to be a bracket made for the casters to match the 72”. My ideal setup would be their 16” locker on the left side, with the 72”, 41” with topper, and another 16” locker on the right.
My other alternative plan was to go with the us general, but I like the idea of the Masterforce setup, having a better drawer layout and latch system.
Thanks!

The US General 56"& 42" boxes are different heights. I made steel blocks for the shorter box to sit on so they would be level.

I'm sure something similar could be done with the Masterforce boxes.

A lot of guys build a frame from steel angle an set the boxes on it.

Thanks for the input. I hear really good things about the Masterforce boxes, but can’t seem to find examples of people’s setups, especially with linking boxes together like others do with the USG boxes.

It's a big thread but there is a Show Your Toolbox thread.

I can't say for sure if you might find your answer there but it will more than likely, provide you with some time to kill.

If the wheels are bolted on, you could make up spacers between wheels and box to raise the height.

Assuming you can fix any height differences with spacers or new casters you could use the same hardware that is used to attach the side boxes to connect the 72 and 41.

That said, if you hook all that together I don't think you would be able to ever roll it. If you really want them connected I'd look at ditching the casters and putting them together with a frame of some sort.

That’s also a good idea. Yeah, moving them won’t be an issue, just a garage setup. Just have to sell my Matco box before I can get this new Masterforce setup. Real pain in the **** to sell. Thanks for the idea!
