Attaching the casters
(optional extra)
2.
4. Repeat step three for the other
wheels. Once complete, check
all nuts are tight, and then ensure
the casters can swivel 360° before
lowering the SiteBoss Chest.
3.
Armorgard casters kits come with
two swivel and two swivel-braked
casters. We recommend attaching
the braked casters on opposite
corners.
1. For the SiteBoss Chests that can
be installed with casters, lift the
box on to a stable platform to
ensure it does not roll and cause
injury. The box MUST be empty
when installing casters.
Insert the caster plate and tighten
the nuts from the bottom using
the adjustable wrench. Repeat
for all.

the casters

17
Attaching the crane lifting eye kit
(optional extra)
1. 2.
For the SiteBoss Chests that can be
attached with crane lifting eyes, use
a 13/32” metal drill bit to drill out the
four pilot holes located on each side
of your SiteBoss Chest.
Thread the coach bolts through the
lifting eyes, then back through the
box. Inside the box, add a
backing plate, washers and nylocks
to each bolt as shown.
Before lifting, a risk assessment must be performed by a qualified person to ensure the
product is safe to lift.
3. Always check the working load limit
of the product before carrying out
a lift.

imum security of the box. Test this by

necessary measures.
Transporting the unit
The design of the SiteBoss Chest makes transporting the product easy.
The units come with forklift pockets for transporting using a forklift or pallet truck. Optional
casters can be installed 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 of contents.
1. Always secure the lock and remove
key before lifting the unit, to
ensure that the lid does not open
unexpectedly. Do not leave the key
inside the padlock.

suitable for outdoor use, however, it does not mean it is waterproof. It is always important to
note that any electrical components or equipment susceptible to water damage should be
sealed, or removed in wet conditions.
Always ensure that the product data plate remains visible and in good condition, especially
the unique serial number.
Ongoing maintenance
It is important to check that the SiteBoss Chest is not damaged before every use.
We recommend for you to check the gas struts, locks, SlamStop lid stay and hinges every
three months, to ensure that the SiteBoss Chest can operate fully. If the SiteBoss Chest will
be under rigorous use, we recommend integrity checking regularly.
Always carry out integrity checks before lifting the box.
Apply light oil to hinges for smoother operation.
