Yes, our heavy duty Roadrunner toolboxes are proudly manufactured in New Zealand. We also offer our Coyote range, manufactured off shore to Roadrunner specifications. These imported boxes are built to a higher standard than most products currently available in the NZ imported market, while remaining a cost effective option.

Yes, we manufacture both aluminium toolboxes (light weight and corrosion resistant) and Steel Toolboxes (maximum strength and durability).

Absolutely. Custom fabrication is our speciality. Every vehicle, trade and fleet requirement is different. We design and build custom toolboxes to suit: Utes, Service Trucks, Canopies, Heavy Transport, Civil and Construction Vehicles, Rural and Agricultural Vehicles, Marine applications.

Not a problem at all. This will help you get the most from your investment.

Sure can, and to go one step further we can offer such things as foam tool inserts to stop your tools moving around.

In NZ, as we all know, we can have four seasons in one day, experience tells us that often requirements vary. We have found the Roadrunner manufactured boxes as a standard exceed the torment NZ can throw at them. Roadrunners Trade Mark Continuous Hinge is the envy of many suppliers, and proven to be the most reliable hinge out there. However, it's important to consider application and style, for example, things such as security may require central locking and vehicles with existing toolboxes may want to keep a similar style. In the South Island, ice can be a problem so its important to ensure the latches do not freeze. Our team knows the ins and outs and the do's and don'ts, and will happily discuss and design solutions that will exceed expectations.

There is no 'one size fits all' weight rating. Load capacity depends on: Mounting method, box design and length, door configuration, internal structure, vehicle chassis layout. We can help design the box and mounting solution together to safely support your intended load.

Yes, our drain system and sealing surfaces take care of it.

Our locking systems are predominantly key lock, we can provide central locking and combination locking if required. If you have a unique situation requiring something different we can accommodate that also.

100%

Adding anything to a chassis system will affect weight and potentially balance. Balance and centre of gravity should always be a consideration, this is where design, experience and advice are key to ensuring products are fit for purpose.

Certainly! This often happens across our product range due to the longevity of what we make.

Sure can! We stock parts for all Roadrunner manufactured products as well as Coyote imported products.

This depends on application and environment. It is not uncommon for a 10 year old box to come back to us for a new door to tidy up.

This depends on application and how you need it to work for you. Our stock range is our most common sizes.

Yes, all Roadrunner Hydraulic Tanks are manufactured in New Zealand.

5052 H32 due to its superior corrosion resistance, strength and weldability.

100%. All Roadrunner Manufacturing products go through a testing and QC process prior to dispatch.

Perfectly.

No, our mounting kits are sold separately. When a tank is damaged only the tank or bracket needs to be replaced.

Yes, Hydraulic Tanks have an array of applications from trucks, power packs, plant and industrial equipment...we have you covered!

No, our caps are not vented, we place a breather on top of the tank due to location. On many vehicles or moving plant the filler is mounted below the top of the tank, commonly seen on trucks to clear the deck for filling. There should always be an air pocket at the top of the tank (or ullage) to allow the breather to work and stop fuel from spilling. It is critical that any tank is vented in some way shape or form and that the breather is fit for purpose.

Both, however each application have different ways of being built. There are a lot more rules around petrol tanks.

Yes, we regularly manufacture refuelling tanks with electric pumps, hose reels, filtration systems and gravity feed systems.

Yes, we can offer a chain and bar attachment that can easily be fitted should you require.

All of our parts are available to order through the Roadrunner website or by getting in contact with us.

100%, with a secondary check also completed.

Yes, it is a common item for us due to chassis space on vehicles and can often be a cheaper alternative that two separate tanks.

It can by having all truck fluids located on one side, it is commonly off set by having toolboxes and a battery box on the apposing side.

Yes, the internal split is based on your required capacity.

Yes, in many construction or civil applications, tanks are also used as refuelers for diggers etc.

No, we can make a combination tank that is split to suit you. For example, fuel and toolbox, or even a threeway split for another use completely.

They can be fabricated from 326 Stainless Steel to accommodate drinking water if required, Standard Aluminium tanks are not suitable for drinking water.

In our stock range we have 11L and 16L but we can make any size.

Yes, any of our tanks can be made to accept pumps or gravity feed systems.

In our stock range they are supplied loose with the tank so you can mount in a configuration that suits. However, we are happy to weld them on in house. For custom builds we will discuss options that work for you.

Yes, however sometimes there needs to be additional compliance processes added. This is normally around volume.

Yes, we use very high quality proven and tested products to suit.

Regulations vary in New Zealand and unfortunately a lot of them are just "Red Tape". It's a tricky process and many cowboys don't bother, however Roadrunner will not supply unsafe products and will comply with the regulations set forth by the Health and Safety at work Act 2015 and applicable NZ transport and hazardous goods regulations. Compliance requirements vary depending on tank size and application. We will advise you accordingly.

Yes we can, just bring us your requirements.

This all depends on application, ie on trucks the most common is Aluminium.

All

One size and type does not fit all and often we see unutilised space or inefficient loading of generic designs. Roadrunner excels in bespoke designs and solutions that are tailored to you or your fleet. We offer a stronger, more practical service body tailored to the customer with aftersales service and parts if required.

Yes, and we advise you take the time to think through your entire process to ensure you get the best result possible.

In most cases we can.

Yes

Yes, it is imperative that a box maintains air flow to avoid suffocation by dust or exhaust fumes. We have a wide range of options available.

Our Dog Boxes are made from aluminium as it is a light material with great strength, minimising any effect it will have on your centre of gravity.

Yes they can, however it is important to ensure your vehicle has the correct components. For example, a dog box mounted on a Wellside Ford Ranger requires a J brace to be fitted behind the wheel arches.

Yes, we accommodate all sizes.

Yes

Yes, we van finish them any colour you would like.

We cover it all, from small one offs to large.

1 month unless mutually agreed on, a case by case basis.

The process varies case by case and complexity. The first point is to discuss the product and the desired outcome, from there we can move into a quote or estimate and layout the project so you can ensure that we are all on the same page. From there, once we have approval to procced, we will move into drafting if it is required or into the production que.

Depending on what stage the product is at, this will need to be assessed case by case. We typically operate with a lead time so there is a small window we can make it work. However, it can result in cost changes or a delay in receiving the product.

This is case by case and is effected by things like trading history etc. If it is required, we will discuss with you directly so we all have an understanding of what is expected from both sides.

In terms of service boxes, if it's cheap normally so is the result. There is no going around the fact they are a significant investment so we believe its worth getting what you want how you want it. Additionally, by using a local supplier you have a better opportunity of being able to use it on your next vehicle.

Great.

Known as our "forever hinge" it is unique where by the hinge is run the entire side of the toolbox spreading the load weight of the door across the whole side of the door and box body giving it superior strength. Additionally the hinge is easily greaseable ensuring the hinge will not fail.

A top quality stainless steel latch with a foldable T-bar style handle that is folded away into a recessed cavity with in the latch and Locked with a key in a separate barrel. They are easily replaceable if damaged and have been tested to meet our quality standards for NZ conditions and security.

We use a folded channel design that not only adds strength to our boxes but creates a "gutter" so any rain and mud can easily drain off the box. We add a condensed sponge rubber to the door so that when the door is closed and locked it compresses against outer gutter and creates a weather tight seal.

We sell spare parts to accommodate our products ie; Hinges, Fuel Caps, Sight Glasses etc. We do not sell the parts required to make our products.

Roadrunner understand that one size does not fit all. We specialise in one off or bulk orders of customer specific requirements. Our common round tank range for trucks start at Ø380mm to Ø710mm out to 1540mm long, our Oval Square range is available in 2 size options of 630mm x 680mm and 650mm x 700mm out to 1540mm, the height and depth of these options can be orientated to achieve ground clearance requirements. Square Tanks can be built to suit your requirements.

Rectangular in shape but no surface is flat. Some truck manufacturers use this style of tank such as DAF, Scania, Fuso, Isuzu. This shape of tank offers a higher level of strength compared to a square or flat sided style of tank whilst maximising fill volume and stylish appeal.

Depending on the level of damage a tank/toolbox can be repaired. We recommend that photos are sent to us for assessment prior so we can assess whether it is a viable option for you or if a replacement is needed, maximising fill volume and stylish appeal.

Fuel Tanks and Hydraulic Tanks up to 500mm in width are typically mounted on our single mount bracket system. Tanks over 500mm in length up to 1400mm require x2 brackets and over 1450mm require x3 brackets.
