Surplus drawer, cabinet, table system

[SWITAWI]

That's the model I have and I can attest to the weight. The thing is not light but it is super cool. The tables, when set up, are actually the same height as the cabinet designed to be one continuous table surface about 8 feet long. I suspect the model with the drawers is 100lbs.

Now I understand why you have yours on a slide - http://www.expeditionportal.com/foru...381#post928381
Maybe dropping the weight of the drawers is worth it, and I like your two-shelf setup besides.

I used one of these without the drawers for many years and it worked great. Everything stayed nice and dry in the truck bed. They are heavy though. I just recently sold it at the CO swap meet.

Thanks everyone for the help and input. I saw the original post for a supplier, but I wanted to shop around and see if I could find a better deal. I love this thing and think it's great, but damn that weight pushes me away. I wanted to make it a kitchen-box, which may not be bad if I just leave it in the Jeep. Thanks again and GREAT FIND!!!

With the covers off do the drawers open from both sides?

Will this work?

I've seen those cool medical tables in the past. They're cool but I'd like to find a used Pelican unit like these. They're pretty expensive.

Those look really cool but at $1600+ new and $1000+ surplus, they seem a pretty unrealistic option. Now if you could roll up on some unsuspecting surplus store and walk out with one for $100 you'd have something. It seems doubtful though.

Has anyone purchased the drawer system? I am interested, but would really like to know if the drawers open from both sides?

That thing is cool, but too heavy IMO.

Sorry to raise this from the dead - but pretty interested in these things. Are they really 70-80lbs though??? Even in Aluminum?
