Aluminess ALB Classic Box 185: Lockable Van Rear Door Storage Box

The ALB Classic Box 185 (formerly the Aluminess Deluxe Box) is the straightforward version of the 185: the same tough aluminum box and door hardware as the Explorer, without the bundled extras. It gives tools, camp gear or a generator a secure, weatherproof home outside the van, so the inside stays clear for living or work. Mount it on an Aluminess rear door ladder or tire rack on a Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit or Ram ProMaster, or on an Aluminess swing-arm rear bumper on a Ford Econoline or Chevy Express/GMC Savana. Want a pre-installed shelf and an outer accessory plate? Step up to the ALB Explorer Box 185 bundle.

Fitment & Mounting

Aluminess rates the Classic Box 185 for any van type, as long as it's paired with an Aluminess rear door ladder or rear door tire rack; it also mounts on Aluminess swing-arm bumpers. That covers Aluminess rear door racks and ladders for the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster, and Aluminess swing-arm rear bumpers for the Ford Econoline and Chevy Express/GMC Savana.

Pair it with an Aluminess mount from High Top Vans: Transit driver-side box and tire rack, Transit rear door rack base unit, ProMaster rear door tire and box rack, ProMaster rear door ladder (box rack sold separately), or a dual swing-arm rear bumper for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana or Ford Econoline, or the Slimline rear bumper for the 2019–2024 Sprinter.

Aluminess designs its products for factory-built vehicles, and some aftermarket conversions are not compatible. If your van has been modified, check fitment with High Top Vans before you order.
