Survey Box Type 2

This type of setup is just several shelves in the back of a survey truck. Brought prefabricated and installed, this is a good setup as it could fit heaps of surveying equipment and my kites and board in.

One of the benefits of this setup is that the shelving height can be adjusted, so you have a little bit of flexibility in it.

Survey Box Type 3

This survey box is made of steel and is prefabricated, and no parts of the shelf or boxes are adjustable.

It has enough room to store 4 tripods, a Trimble S series instrument and 3 traverse kit boxes standing upright.

There Is plenty of room to store all the other equipment a surveyor uses between the underbody storage and shelves inside of the canopy.
