storage box for Yamaha generator

I've tried to google it, but no luck.

Does anyone know of a plastic storage container that would fit a Yamaha EF2000iS generator? Their cardboard boxes that my two came in are on their last legs.

    Yeah, I found storage bins large enough to hold my generators, but they where always too big in at least one dimension. You would think that there would be a market for custom-made storage boxes tougher than the cardboard box they came in.

  • I think your best bet would be to find a general-purpose rugged plastic box that reasonably closely fits your genny. The Contico brand at Wal-mart comes to mind.

    A specialized box for your genny would probably be pretty expensive if they make one.

    I made a simple wood box caulked all the joints, and have a hinged lid with rubber seals that pulls down tight which keeps the gas smell inside so I can even put it in the back of my Suburban without stinking it up with gas fumes. This box is for a Champion but would work with any genny if you adjust the dimensions.
