MAGIC BOX Tool Box 600×470×450 mm RAL 6007 for Military and Special Vehicles

MAGIC BOX storage solution for military and special-purpose vehicles

The MAGIC BOX 600 × 470 × 450 mm in military khaki green RAL 6007 is a robust vehicle-mounted storage box developed for professional applications where tools, service equipment and technical accessories must remain protected and readily accessible directly on the vehicle.

Its combination of rotationally moulded polyethylene construction, impact-resistant design and safety-focused closure system makes it particularly suitable for military vehicles, defence vehicle bodies, special-purpose vehicles, service trucks, trailers and technical support vehicles.

Rotationally moulded polyethylene for demanding vehicle applications

The body is manufactured from polyethylene using rotational moulding technology. This manufacturing method enables the creation of a robust one-piece plastic structure suitable for applications exposed to vibration, repeated handling and demanding operating conditions.

Unlike conventional sheet-metal storage boxes, the polyethylene construction does not rely on a painted steel body for corrosion protection. This makes the MAGIC BOX an attractive solution for vehicle manufacturers looking for a durable, low-maintenance external storage compartment.

50 J impact resistance

The MAGIC BOX series is designed with an impact resistance of 50 J. This parameter is particularly relevant for storage boxes installed on commercial, military and special-purpose vehicles, where components mounted close to the chassis can be exposed to mechanical impacts during everyday operation.

For vehicle bodybuilders and engineering departments, the specified impact resistance provides a measurable technical parameter when evaluating the box for integration into a vehicle or bodywork design.

102-litre storage capacity in a compact format

The 600 × 470 × 450 mm version provides an internal capacity of approximately 102 litres. This creates useful storage space without requiring an excessively large installation area on the vehicle.

The compartment can be used for a wide range of operational equipment, including:

• hand tools and maintenance equipment,
• vehicle service accessories,
• load securing equipment,
• recovery and support equipment,
• crew tools and technical accessories,
• equipment required for field service and vehicle maintenance.

Safety closure designed for vehicle operation

A conventional storage box can become a safety risk if the lid opens unintentionally while the vehicle is moving. The MAGIC BOX therefore uses a pull-and-turn safety handle.

Opening requires a deliberate combined movement of the handle. The mechanism is designed to reduce the risk of accidental opening while the vehicle is in motion, which is especially important for underbody and externally mounted storage compartments.

Protection against water ingress

The storage compartment incorporates an EPDM seal together with a specially shaped double-walled recessed lid that closes towards the inside of the box. This construction is designed to protect the interior against water ingress and helps keep stored equipment protected during outdoor vehicle operation.

The recessed lid design also contributes to the overall rigidity and functional protection of the storage area without requiring a conventional external metal enclosure.

Military khaki green RAL 6007

The RAL 6007 military khaki green finish makes this MAGIC BOX variant particularly suitable for military vehicle bodies, defence-sector equipment and special-purpose vehicles where dark green exterior components are required to integrate visually with the complete vehicle.

This eliminates the visual contrast created by conventional black or grey storage boxes and allows the compartment to become a more natural part of the vehicle body design.

Suitable for military vehicle and defence-sector bodybuilders

The MAGIC BOX is particularly relevant for companies designing and manufacturing military vehicles, defence vehicle superstructures and special-purpose vehicle bodies. Instead of developing a custom storage compartment from the ground up, the designer can integrate a ready-made technical component with defined dimensions, capacity and structural properties.

Typical applications include:

• military transport vehicles,
• logistics and support vehicles,
• field service vehicles,
• special-purpose truck bodies,
• emergency and intervention vehicles,
• commercial trucks and trailers,
• off-road and technical support vehicles.

ECE R73.01 integration

The MAGIC BOX series is designed for applications that can form part of a vehicle's lateral protection system in accordance with ECE R73.01. This is particularly relevant for truck and trailer bodybuilders integrating the toolbox into the side area of the vehicle.

Important: the ECE R73.01 homologation applies only when the toolbox is installed with the specified compatible support system and according to the relevant installation requirements. The toolbox itself should therefore not be interpreted as an independently homologated side protection device regardless of its mounting method.

Why ECE R73.01 matters to a vehicle bodybuilder

For professional vehicle construction, a toolbox is not only a storage component. Its position, mounting method and interaction with the vehicle structure can also affect the overall body design. A storage system developed with ECE R73.01 side protection integration in mind can simplify the selection of components during the engineering phase.

Designed for integration into professional vehicle bodies

The 600 × 470 × 450 mm format provides a practical balance between installation dimensions and usable storage volume. This makes the box suitable for installation alongside chassis components, underneath vehicle bodies or in other areas where a permanent vehicle tool storage compartment is required.

When planning the installation, the final mounting position, support structure, expected load and vehicle-specific operating conditions should always be considered as part of the complete bodywork design.

Key technical advantages of the MAGIC BOX

• 102-litre capacity in a 600 × 470 × 450 mm format,
• 50 J impact-resistant construction for demanding vehicle applications,
• rotationally moulded polyethylene body,
• pull-and-turn safety closure against accidental opening,
• EPDM sealing system for protection of the storage compartment,
• double-walled recessed lid designed to limit water ingress,
• ECE R73.01 integration capability with the specified support system,
• military khaki green RAL 6007 for military and special-purpose vehicle applications.

A technical storage component, not just a tool box

For a vehicle manufacturer or bodybuilder, the MAGIC BOX represents more than additional storage space. It combines defined installation dimensions, 102-litre capacity, impact-resistant polyethylene construction, a safety closure and a sealed double-wall lid in a component developed specifically for vehicle applications.

The RAL 6007 military khaki green version extends these advantages to defence, military and special-purpose vehicle projects where functionality, durability and visual integration must be considered together.
