Husky Build-Out Mounting Plate

Husky Build-Out Mounting Plate for Reliable Organization

Stop sacrificing your toolboxes. Many users resort to disassembling a spare box just to use the lid as a mounting surface—a "hack" that wastes money and lacks structural integrity. This is a true mounting solution. Precision laser-cut from heavy-duty American steel, it provides a rock-solid, professional foundation for your gear without the DIY workarounds.

CHOOSE YOUR VERSION

• Locking (Medium-Duty): Our most versatile mount. Built from 12-gauge steel, it accommodates ALL Husky Build-Out boxes and organizers regardless of latch style. Features an integrated heavy-duty locking arm compatible with standard padlocks to secure your entire tool stack against theft. Available in Painted Black or Powder Coated Black.
• Non-Locking (Light-Duty): A streamlined, ultra-low-profile 14-gauge steel solution engineered specifically for Husky boxes featuring red clip-in latches at the base. Ships in Raw Steel—the ideal choice for custom painting or direct welding to racks and frames.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I mount this on my van floor, truck bed, or trailer?
Yes. This plate is engineered for multi-orientation installation (walls, floors, or utility rails). The high-strength American steel handles severe vehicle bounce and shifting, making it an ideal anchor for mobile workshops, service trucks, and overland rigs.

Which Husky Build-Out Mount do I need?
If you have a mix of different Husky Build-Out boxes or want to lock your gear with a padlock, select the Locking Version. If you only use boxes with red latch-points at the base and want a cost-effective DIY option you can paint or weld yourself, choose the Non-Locking Raw Steel Version.

Will the Raw Steel version rust?
The Non-Locking version ships in untreated raw steel. Because mild steel oxidizes if exposed to humidity or moisture, we recommend applying a quick coat of paint or clear sealer upon arrival. For a factory maintenance-free finish, choose the Painted or Powder Coated Locking options.

Why use a BOCO Mount instead of disassembling a toolbox lid?
Using a toolbox lid as a mount requires you to destroy a perfectly good box and rely on thin plastic tabs to hold your entire stack. The BOCO mount is a true steel mount that will not flex, crack, or strip out under heavy loads or road vibration—saving your toolboxes for their actual purpose.

Perfect for: Service vans, work trucks, enclosed trailers, shop walls, and mobile workshop organization.

• 10-gauge steel (0.135"): our thickest. Heavy loads, truck beds, workbenches.
• 12-gauge steel (0.105"): mid-weight. Vans, trailers, everyday shop use.
• 14-gauge steel (0.075"): light duty. Lighter gear and accessory mounts.
• 1/8" aluminum (0.125"): light and rust resistant.
• 11-gauge 304 stainless (0.125"): rust resistant without paint, made to order.

Lower gauge number = thicker metal. See the full thickness guide with a visual comparison

We fabricate our mounting solutions and accessories from mild steel, aluminum, and 304 stainless steel, built for harsh job-site environments. Choose the right finish for your build and review our care recommendations below.

Uncoated Steel (Paint Ready)

• Overview: Shipped bare and untreated, straight from fabrication. Ideal for custom painting, powder coating, or welding into custom racks.
• Appearance: May show light mill scale, surface scuffs, or minor flash rust on delivery, which is normal for uncoated steel.
• Care & Maintenance: Uncoated steel will rust when exposed to moisture, humidity, or air. We strongly recommend cleaning and lightly sanding the surface, then applying paint, clear coat, or powder coat before installation.

Powder Coated

• Overview: A durable, baked-on powder coat finish that protects the steel against wear, corrosion, and UV exposure. Powder coat is made to order.
• Appearance: A smooth, uniform finish, textured black on most plates and red on select Packout plates, ready to install out of the box.
• Care & Maintenance: Clean with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid solvents such as acetone or paint thinner, and avoid abrasive scrubbers, which can wear the coating. Touch up deep gouges or scratches promptly to protect the metal underneath.

Uncoated Aluminum

• Overview: A lightweight, naturally rust-resistant option, about one third the weight of steel. Ideal for open truck beds, work vans, and marine or wet environments.
• Appearance: Bare metal with a clean industrial look. Aluminum forms a thin protective oxide layer on its own. Light surface grain or manufacturing tool marks may be present.
• Care & Maintenance: Wash with automotive soap and water. Aluminum may dull or develop a light oxidation over time, which is normal. To restore the shine, use a standard aluminum polish.

Uncoated 304 Stainless Steel

• Overview: Strong and highly rust resistant, for exposed truck beds, marine use, and wet or corrosive environments. Available on select plates, made to order.
• Appearance: A clean, bare metal finish that needs no paint or coating.
• Care & Maintenance: Low maintenance. Clean with soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner to remove grease, road grime, and fingerprints. Avoid steel wool and chlorine-based cleaners, which can mark or pit the surface.

What is Proposition 65?

Proposition 65 (officially the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) is a California law. It requires businesses to warn California consumers if a product can expose them to chemicals that the State of California lists as causing cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

These warnings are required even when a chemical is present in very small amounts that may not pose a significant health risk.

California Proposition 65 Warning

⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm. Products sold on this website can expose you to chemicals including lead, nickel, chromium (hexavalent compounds), titanium dioxide (airborne, unbound particles of respirable size), toluene, ethylbenzene, and formaldehyde, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

What our products are made from

Depending on the product, our items may include steel, aluminum, powder coat or paint (including spray paint), threadlocker, lithium grease, and plastics such as acrylic and acetal (Delrin). Metals and coatings can contain or release trace amounts of the chemicals above, especially during cutting, welding, sanding, or coating.

Why is this warning on my order?

BOCO Custom LLC ships products nationwide, so we include this warning to comply with California law. A Proposition 65 warning does not mean a product is unsafe or defective. It means a product may contain a trace amount of a listed chemical. We provide this information so you can make an informed purchase.
