SEMA 2015: Pitboxes.com Covers Your Mobile Pit Cart Needs

Anyone that has watched auto racing on television has certainly seen the large, roll-around pit carts that stock car, sports car, and open wheel racing teams use in their pit stalls. Such carts are an absolutely necessity in forms of motorsports where the teams’ toolboxes must be mobile. By and large, they are increasingly becoming more common in other forms of racing — drag racing and dirt track racing, for example — where mobility isn’t so much a necessity, but ease of use is an enjoyed luxury.

The pit boxes are built to last, with an aluminum construction, stainless steel hardware, rolling bearing drawers, and spray-on bedliner tops.

These carts are, in essence, toolboxes on wheels, but there’s more to them than meets the eye, as manufactures like Pitboxes.com, a division of Ricky Sanders Racing, deliver impressive functionality and quality beyond your standard garage toolbox.

We can do any color you want in a custom order, using a color sample to color-match. – Jeremy Petty, Pitboxes.com

The boxes from Pitboxes.com are made entirely of aluminum, creating an ultra-light toolbox for moving around your pit space or across the garage area at a superspeedway. In addition, they use all stainless steel hardware to stand up to the elements (with stainless ball bearing slides included on the drawers), 250-pound slides, and a detent built-in so the drawers won’t fly open if you’re pushing or pulling the cart up an incline.

Pitboxes.com also powdercoats the carts inside and out in a range of colors, and a spray-on, bedliner top comes standard on all of their products to resist wear and tear from tools. The handles are drilled and tapped for a 3/4-inch, right-handed heim joint, as well, so you can hook them up to your pit vehicle to tow where necessary.

The carts also have a heim joint handle and can be towed with a pit vehicle.

“The carts come in a range of colors, including red, white, black, and blue as standard. We can do any color you want in a custom order, using a color sample to color-match,” explains Pitboxes.com’s Jeremy Petty.

Pitboxes.com has a whole range of styles of pit boxes, from single and double chests, workstations, workbenches, tire carts, and even large boxes with seat tops.
