Welcome to your Armorgard OxBox. Our simple, dependable security box is designed to help safeguard your tools, equipment, and livelihood. The OxBox comes ready to use, but please consult this manual for instructions on how to get the most from it. Please read this operational and maintenance manual carefully prior to setting up the OxBox.

Safety information

The OxBox range is too heavy to be safely lifted by one person. Carry out a risk assessment before lifting or lowering any OxBox to ensure the risk of injury is reduced.
Before using an OxBox, ensure any relevant risk assessments are carried out. Armorgard cannot be responsible for accidents that occur due to negligence.
When fitting an OxBox to a vehicle, our guidelines MUST be followed. An empty OxBox can more than triple its weight in an emergency stop and therefore become loose and unsecured if fitted incorrectly.
If castor wheels are fitted, these must be installed according to our specifications and should be checked regularly to ensure they are still fit for purpose.
If a gas strut or lid stay damaged, contact Armorgard or your reseller for a replacement.
Ensure that all OxBox parts are in good working condition prior to using the OxBox.

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure this operational and maintenance manual covers every aspect needed to operate your product safely, please take care whilst using the product and always operate with caution. Always liaise with management personnel on site for any additional operational restrictions that you need to be aware of.

The simple and dependable solution for securing tools and equipment

How to assemble

Mounting the OxBox

To install an OxBox in a vehicle, these instructions MUST be followed. The van boxes come with M10 bolt holes pre-drilled in the base of the box for fixing them down.
The OxBox should then be fixed down using four M10 bolts, washers, and shear nuts. The OxBox needs to have a bolt in each of it’s four corners fixing it securely to the floor.
If you are installing the OxBox in a vehicle, you may need to adapt the vehicle. Armorgard can not be held liable for any damage tothe vehicle.
The vehicle manufacturer should always be consulted to ensure any proposed works will not damage the vehicle.
Once installed, test by pulling and pushing the box vigorously in various directions. It is imperative to ensure it is firmly fixed down.

Take your oxboxTM to the next level with these optional extras

Contact the Armorgard team to find out more about the optional extras for your product.

Fitting the castors

Only the OX3 and OX4 can be fitted with castors using the pre-drilled holes. Lift the box onto a stable platform. The box MUST be empty when fixing castors. Castors can be fitted to smaller boxes but holes will need to be drilled by the user.
Insert castor plates into the forklift skids. Put the castor wheel in place and use a 13mm socket to tighten the M8 nylons
Armorgard castors kits come with two fixed and two swivel-braked castors. We recommend fixing the 2x fixed castors on the left and 2x swivel-braked on the right side of the box.
Repeat step two for the other wheels. Once complete, check all nuts are tight, and then ensure the two braked castors can swivel through 360° before lowering the OxBox.

Storing the unit

The flat sides on the OxBox (except OX3, OX4) can help save space when storing the unit.
Ensure that all locks are secured when leaving the OxBox unattended. This is essential to maintain the maximum security of the box.
When the OxBox is stationary and in position, always ensure both castor brakes are engaged

Transporting the unit

The design of the OxBox makes transporting the product easy. The OX3 and OX4 come with forklift pockets for transporting using a forklift or pallet truck. Optional castors can be fitted to these boxes using the pre-drilled holes. Please note that boxes may require more than one person to lift, and it is always advised to lift the boxes when they are empty on contents.

Use the handles on the OX3 and OX4 to assist with lifting/transporting
Always ensure that during transport, the box is secured to the carrier using straps or other appropriate measures

Equipment care

The OxBox is weatherproof, constructed with a durable powder coated finish, so it is suitable for outdoor use, however it does not mean it is waterproof. It is always important to note that any electrics or equipment susceptible to water damage should be sealed. Always ensure that the product dataplate remains visible and in good condition, especially the unique serial number, as this is required should you need a replacement lock or key.

Ongoing maintenance

It is important to check that the OxBox is not damaged before every use. We recommend for you to check the hinges, gas struts, locks, SlamStop lid stay and any optional extras every three months, to ensure that the OxBox can operate fully. If the OxBox will be under rigorous use, we recommend integrity checking regularly. Always carry out integrity checks before lifting the box.

Warranty

Armorgard products are built to last, and all have a manufacturer’s warranty of 12 months – please refer to the terms and conditions for what this covers. We also keep replacement keys and offer replacement locks for all Armorgard products up to five years old. To get a replacement key, all you’ll need is the distributor you purchased from, proof of purchase and your product’s serial number, which can be found on the dataplate of every product. Do not force entry into the product, as this could affect the warranty. Always contact us if you require a replacement lock or key.
