"Here's why AluBoxes are our go-to storage solutions..." –EXPEDITION OVERLAND
The AluBox 42L Aluminum Case is a storage and transport case handcrafted in Denmark from EN AW-5754 aluminum — a marine-grade, mid-strength alloy used across defense, offshore, and industrial sectors worldwide. Formally certified as bear resistant, and carried on expeditions across all seven continents, AluBox cases are the choice of serious overlanders, emergency services, and military logistics teams who need reliable protection without the weight penalty of steel or the fragility of plastic. The most versatile and popular size in the AluBox lineup. Two 42L cases stack naturally side-by-side in the back of most SUVs and trucks — start with one and you'll quickly find yourself wanting a second.

KEY FEATURES
- IGBC Bear-Resistant Certified: The A042 is the only IGBC-certified bear-resistant aluminum case in the AluBox lineup — accepted for food storage in bear country and U.S. national parks without additional containment.
- EN AW-5754 Marine-Grade Aluminum: The same alloy used in shipbuilding and food processing — non-reactive, non-hardening, and highly resistant to seawater corrosion and industrial atmospheres.
- Dust and Water Resistant: A rubber gasket seal keeps dust and water out — resistant to the elements but not submersible. The precision-bent ribbed walls and extruded base and upper rim add structural rigidity and further protect the seal.
- Cast Aluminum Stacking Corners: Heavy-duty corner castings double as stacking cleats — multiple AluBoxes lock together during transport and storage without shifting.
- Lockable Latches: Front-facing slam latches are padlock-compatible for securing contents in shared or unattended storage environments.
- Foam or Insulated Liner Compatible: Compatible with traditional die-cut foam and high-quality insulated liners — the insulated liner is validated for blood, vaccine, and pharmaceutical cold-chain transport.
- RuumX Divider System Compatible: Works with AluBox's RuumX Internal Case Divider System for modular, tool-free organization.
- Inside or Outside Vehicle Ready: Mounts permanently or temporarily inside your vehicle or externally on roof racks. Compatible with the Eezi-Awn K9 AluBox Mount.
