Torklift Box Installation
I finally wrapped up the installation of the Torklift A7710R battery box on the new trailer. It fits perfectly between the cabin and the lp tanks, and the colors of the box blends perfectly. The box is shipped with self-drilling fasteners and bolts/nuts for attachment to the trailer frame. It also comes with a panel to separate the battery from the rest of the box, and straps for securing the batteries.
This photo shows how I used (4) self-drilling fasteners on each side to attach the box to the frame. It also shows the partition panels.
This photo shows how the diamond plate panels are riveted to the black frame.
This photo shows the battery cut-off switch mounted. I wanted to mount it on the back of the box, but space was too tight for my arm.
It seems to be a well made box, but it's main function is as a battery box. By that, I mean that it is not a weather tight box. Some things that I did not think of at first that caused delays due to runs to the hardware store was bolts to mount the switch, and longer cables to run from the trailer to the new battery position in the box. Overall, I am happy with it. I have the battery locked up and some extra room to store the hitch bars and head.
