Way to be very welcoming to a new forum member!
I'm sure if you search hard enough you might find the answer but on their website Snap On only gives overall height and not height with casters removed.
Seems like a legit question to me...
How are you planning to set the box down without the wheels? Fyi the sheetmetal sticks down past the load bearing frame about an inch. I used 2x4s under the forklift forks when I move my 1022 otherwise you will crunch up all 4 sides of your box

I did look on line for the height with out the casters and i called my snap-on truck and i added up the drawer heights, the height without the casters is not listed on any of the spec sheets i could find. The space i have for height is 38.5". this box will be going on a large yacht and space is at a premium. the build yard will be hard mounting it. I currently have an older Snap-on box in my garage that is on shorter wheeels and is made to roll straight in and out from under a work bench, so i do understand the load bearing points in the corners underneath.
Again I'm just looking for the overall height sans the casters from somebody that has a KRL1022
I appreciate all of the reply's.

My 1033 is approx 8 inches off the ground, a hair under. The casters recess into the base of the box 3/8 of an inch or so. I'd call the caster height 8inches minimum to play ot safe.

37 1/2 " from bottom metal overhang on the bottom to top of the box. 39 1/4" to top of Stainless work surface. neither measurement includes wheels.

Look at the 1022 and 1033 on the snap on website. Under repair parts it will list the caster part numbers. If 1033 and 1022 use the same caster my measurements should work.
Snap on also sells stationary cabinets, kinda like lista and vidmar style

when i looked At the measurement of my bulk end cab on my KRL 1022 Snap on says Height, inches (mm) 37-5/16 (947.7) so that should be close

Make sure you (or someone who will use the box) is there when they set it. If someone doesn't know that whoever is using it has to be in front of the box with drawers fully open will likely error on the side of passageway space, and make it unworkable.
Are you planning on a separate workbench or using the top of the box as one? Your builder is worried about the height of the box, but he has to remember that unless someone is planning on rebuilding a starter in the galley while they're cooking, you'll need work space below decks along with your tools.
There's also an ergonomic angle - the boxes are designed to be a certain height with casters - it's even normal to use the space below the box created by the casters as storage - if the box is too short, and you're using the top of the box as a workbench, it'll be a pain (literally) to work on top of.
I'm sure you've thought of this, but I had a friend who converted a 65' tug into a liveaboard, and when he got to your point he didn't take these factors into account.
One final note - in salt air, rust never sleeps. Finding a way to keep your tool area dehumidified and the air clean will go a LONG way toward keeping from having to replace your toolbox (and tools) in 5 or 10 years...

From the comments above, it looks like you are close (3/4-1" of room) if you remove the top. They will need to put a base or shims under the caster mount points to support the box, so the outer frame will be raised a little off the floor. Don't rest the box directly on the floor.

I don't have one but I called Snap On. A lady helped me and had to call me back with the answer.
Normally sits at 45 7/8" on casters. Remove 7" as it sits on 6" by 2" casters with the caster fork/arm adding approximately 1"
