Weather Guard: Built for the Professionals Who Build Everything Else

Since Howard Knaack first began crafting jobsite storage boxes out of a small one-room shop in Crystal Lake, Illinois in 1960, Weather Guard has grown into one of the most trusted names in commercial vehicle equipment. Today, as a flagship brand under WernerCo, Weather Guard designs and manufactures a comprehensive lineup of truck and van storage solutions for contractors, tradespeople, fleet operators, and anyone who demands more from their work vehicle.

What sets Weather Guard apart is a relentless focus on security, durability, and organization. Every product in the lineup is engineered to protect tools and valuables from two of a working professional's biggest threats: weather and theft. The brand's proprietary ARMOR TUF® Powder Coat finish resists chipping, corrosion, and the daily grind of professional use, while purpose-built locking systems — including drill-resistant cores and tamper-resistant latches — are designed to deter even determined break-in attempts.

The brand's core strength lies in its legendary truck tool boxes, offered in a wide array of configurations — saddle boxes, crossover boxes, hi-side and lo-side boxes, underbed boxes, and all-purpose chests — to suit virtually any pickup truck bed layout or trade requirement. Paired with the right truck tool box parts bins, these systems transform a truck bed into a highly organized, job-ready workspace where small parts, fittings, and hand tools are always right where you need them.

Weather Guard's expertise extends well beyond the truck bed. For cargo van operators, the brand offers an equally robust portfolio of van-specific solutions, including van storage bulkhead dividers that create a critical safety barrier between the cab and cargo area — an essential feature for any professional hauling heavy power tools or loose materials. On the exterior, Weather Guard's ladder racks are built from heavy-duty steel or aluminum and finished with ARMOR TUF® coating, providing a secure, high-capacity platform for ladders, conduit, lumber, and other long materials.

Rounding out the lineup, Weather Guard's shop utility racks offer versatile mounting and carrying solutions for vans and work vehicles, with thoughtful accessory ecosystems — quick-clamps, cross members, load assist systems — that make loading and unloading safer and faster for a one-person crew.

From its origins in a single-room Illinois workshop to a full-scale commercial upfitting brand serving municipalities, utilities, and independent tradespeople alike, Weather Guard continues to set the standard for what a work vehicle can be. Whether you're spec'ing out a single pickup or outfitting an entire fleet, Weather Guard has the products and the track record to get the job done right.
