EZ STAK Releases Heavy-Duty Removable Drawers for Service Trucks EZ STAK added an all-new line of heavy-duty removable drawers to its series of aluminum service body storage systems to help with installations .
Delivering the lightweight yet robust design EZ STAK is known for , each of these rugged drawers can be quickly taken out and brought to the worksite . This not only helps with efficiency on the job , but also makes installation easier .
“ We initially custom-made these for a client , but we quickly realized that they would likely appeal to a lot of people because they ’ re so durable and so easy to take out ,” said Calvin Lawrenson , EZ STAK ’ s business development coordinator . “ There ’ s no more back and forth to the truck with these — you can take all of your tools with you .”
As with most of EZ STAK ’ s drawer solutions , these are made with 10-gauge aluminum and come equipped with 500-pound-capacity slides , adjustable tops to fit the truck compartment and built-in risers . Each drawer also has a one-handed latch for easy opening and closing , as well as a secure lock that engages once the drawer is slammed shut . Plus , if the truck compartment has a step , these drawers can be built with a notch cut-out to maximize space and make installation a lot easier .
EZ STAK currently offers the heavy-duty removable drawers in nine sizes , but its design team can also deliver a custom solution . Just like all of the company ’ s drawer systems , these come with a lifetime warranty on all manufactured parts .
“ We think these will be a gamechanger for quite a few customers ,” said Lawrenson . “ We kept hearing that one pain point for some was just how difficult it is to take out drawers if they want to bring a bunch of tools with them . Well , with these , now they can . And because the drawers are lightweight and tough , they ’ re easy to remove and you don ’ t have to worry about putting them through a lot of abuse .”
