Why Choose Van Vault Secure Storage?

Van Vault products represent a serious investment in tool security that pays for itself many times over. The brand's Sold Secure and Secured by Design certifications provide independent verification of security effectiveness—these aren't merely marketing claims but rigorously tested standards that give insurance companies and tradespeople genuine confidence. The 70mm anti-pick, anti-drill stainless steel disc locks are positioned deep within the body and protected by hardened steel plates, making forced entry extremely difficult and time-consuming for thieves.

Build quality is exceptional across the Van Vault range available at Tooled-Up. The 2.5mm sheet steel construction with fully phosphated anti-corrosion protection ensures these storage boxes withstand years of demanding use in harsh British weather conditions. Gas strut support arms provide smooth, controlled opening and closing, whilst powder-coated finishes resist the elements. On-site models feature enlarged fork skids for easy pallet truck and forklift handling, demonstrating Van Vault's understanding of real-world working conditions.

For tradespeople, the cost of replacing stolen tools can run into thousands of pounds, not to mention the lost working time and increased insurance premiums. Van Vault's reputation among professionals is built on products that genuinely deter theft—the visible presence of a Van Vault box acts as a powerful deterrent, whilst the robust construction and sophisticated locking mechanisms make opportunist and even determined theft attempts unsuccessful. Being UK-designed and manufactured also means Van Vault understands British working conditions, vehicle types, and security challenges specific to our trades.

Perfect for Your Job

Van Vault secure storage solutions excel across a wide range of working environments and applications.
