The Armorgard BarroBox BB2 is a unique mobile security box for tradesmen and contractors who need to keep their tools secure while moving around site — converting instantly from a wheelbarrow-style mobile box to a static, tamper-resistant vault. It features twin keyed-alike 5-lever deadlocks with anti-jemmy reinforcements, heavy-duty steel construction, and the innovative WheelWinder system that prevents unauthorised movement by locking the wheel mechanism inside the box.
Key Features
- WheelWinder System - the internal lever mechanism converts the BarroBox from mobile to static in seconds. The wheels cannot be lowered without first unlocking and opening the lid, preventing unauthorised movement even if thieves attempt to wheel the box away.
- Twin 5-Lever Deadlocks - keyed-alike locks on both sides with 6mm anti-drill plates and anti-cut rollers in the deadbolt. Three keys supplied as standard, with replacements available using the unique serial number.
- Anti-Jemmy Reinforcements - unique external and internal anti-jemmy systems resist crowbar attacks and prying attempts, providing dual-layer protection against forced entry.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction - 1.5mm body steel with reinforced 2mm lid, finished in durable powder coating to withstand the knocks and scrapes of daily site use.
- Gas Strut Assisted Lid - 300N gas struts make opening and closing effortless. The SlamStop lid stay holds the lid securely open, protecting operators from accidental closure.
- Puncture-Proof Wheels - large diameter wheels handle rough terrain, rubble, and demanding site conditions without risk of deflation.
- Folding Handles - ergonomic handles provide a comfortable grip for manoeuvring, then fold flat against the body for compact storage with no protruding parts.
- Forklift Skids - integrated into the base for easy loading and unloading via forklift or pallet truck.
- No Detachable Parts - all components are permanently fixed, eliminating theft of wheels or handles.
- Serial Numbered - unique serial number welded to each unit for replacement key ordering.

More About This Product
The Armorgard BarroBox BB2 is a unique mobile security box designed for tradesmen and contractors who need to keep their tools secure whilst moving around site. This innovative storage solution converts instantly from a wheelbarrow-style mobile box to a static, tamper-resistant vault - giving you complete peace of mind wherever your work takes you. The BB2 features twin keyed-alike 5-lever deadlocks with anti-jemmy reinforcements, heavy-duty steel construction, and the innovative WheelWinder system that prevents unauthorised movement by locking the wheel mechanism inside the box.
Suitable Applications
The BarroBox BB2 is designed for tradesmen and contractors working on fit-out projects, refurbishments, and active construction sites where tools need to move with the worker. Typical applications include electricians, plumbers, joiners, and any tradesperson who needs secure, portable tool storage that can be wheeled directly to the work area. The unit is particularly suited to multi-storey buildings and large sites where tools would otherwise be left unattended or carried back and forth to a central store.
Tool boxes travel with the tools. Where the storage stays on site and needs to hold more, a site box is the better choice; hazardous contents need a site security box.
How to Use the BarroBox BB2
- Unlock both deadlocks and open the lid to access the internal WheelWinder lever.
- Release the ring pull latch and push the lever forward to lower the wheels into the mobile position.
- Ensure the latch is fully engaged once wheels are in position, then close the lid.
- Use the fold-out handles on the rear to lift and push the BarroBox to your desired location.
- Open the lid, pull the lever back to raise the wheels, and ensure the latch engages in the static position.
- Close the lid and lock both deadlocks. Remove the key - the unit is now secure and immobile.
Warning:
The BarroBox weighs 81kg empty. Carry out a risk assessment before lifting. Always lift with the unit empty where possible. Ensure nothing is below the body or near the forklift skids when operating the wheel lever.
Safety Information
- Always lock both deadlocks when leaving the BarroBox unattended - locking only one side compromises security.
- Lift the SlamStop lid stay when closing the lid to prevent finger trapping.
- Carry out risk assessments before lifting or lowering the BarroBox.
- Ensure the ring pull latch on the wheel adjustment handle has fully engaged into the latching plate.
- Do not raise the wheels when manoeuvring - only lower them for movement.
- Do not force the lid shut - check for obstructions if the lid does not close smoothly.
- Ensure the BarroBox is not damaged before each use.
Inspection and Maintenance
The BarroBox is weatherproof and finished with a durable powder coating, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, it is not fully waterproof - any electrical equipment or items susceptible to water damage should be sealed before storage. Ensure the product data plate remains visible and the serial number legible, as this is required for replacement keys or locks. Check the lever, handles, locks, SlamStop lid stay, gas struts, and wheels every three months. For rigorous use, inspect more frequently. Always carry out integrity checks before lifting or transporting the unit.
What's Included
Each BarroBox BB2 is supplied complete with 3 keys (keyed alike for both locks) and an operational and maintenance manual. No assembly is required - the unit arrives ready to use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the wheel mechanism work?
Open the lid to access the internal lever. Releasing the catch and pushing the lever forward lowers the wheels into the mobile position. Pulling the lever back raises the wheels, converting the box to static mode. Always ensure the catch is fully engaged once the wheels are in position.
Q: Can one person move the BarroBox?
Yes, one person can manoeuvre the BarroBox using the folding handles when the wheels are lowered. However, the unit weighs 81kg empty, so lifting should only be attempted with appropriate risk assessments and additional personnel where necessary.
Q: Is the BarroBox waterproof?
The BarroBox is weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use, but it is not fully waterproof. Any electrical equipment or items susceptible to water damage should be appropriately sealed before storage.
Q: What if I lose my keys?
Armorgard can supply replacement keys using the unique serial number found on the data plate. Replacement keys and locks are available for products up to 5 years old. Do not force entry, as this may affect your warranty.
Q: Can I use a forklift to move the BarroBox?
Yes, integrated forklift skids allow the unit to be lifted and transported via forklift or pallet truck. Always ensure both locks are secured and the key removed before lifting to prevent the lid opening unexpectedly. Keep wheels in the raised (static) position during transport.
