In many places all around the world, utility vehicles have become a staple for many businesses such as landscapers, contractors, painters, and other fields which require one to carry their equipment with them from one job to another. They offer a convenient means of transporting various items such as ladders comma, compressors, pipes, hoses, and a variety of other things, when they are needed for the work being performed. There are a range of accessories especially designed to enhance the functionality of these trucks.

This practically doubles the amount of cargo space available.
Adding pull out drawers to the underside of the bed is another way to increase the amount of storage area on the truck. These items come in various sizes and are great for storing handheld tools and smaller items. They come fitted with with either key, or a hinge styled locks, for security and to prevent theft or vandalism.
Ute tool boxes come in a variety of different styles and sizes to accommodate the needs of many varied individuals.
