My file won't post , but I have my Snap-On 75th annv. tool box with the painted mural thats on the lid of the top box. It's wider then the normal box's & empty weights in at just a bit under 1800 lbs,again EMPTY. It has 5" wheels on it with breaks on all the wheels & have springs on the wheels so it acts like springs on your car when you move it. I'm 5' 8"'s & the top box I have to stand on my tip toes to see everything on the top area. I also have 2 side box's that hang on the lips of the bottom box. The total length with the side box's is 98 1/2 inches wide & is 70"'s tall. I didn't get a different color as that was an option back then, but it costs an extra $ 800.00 then, now it's only $ 300.00 so I'm told,,,, but I can't see Snap-On lowering their price on anything. The drawers are roller bearing slides, & has locks on all the drawers so you have to release the lock under the lip of the handles before you can open them.When I bought this box I thought that it would be my last which it is now, but then I was sure I wouldn't have to get another box,,,, LOL. It's full & since 1997 I've bought 2 other small cheap, Big Lot's type box's to keep up with some of the tools I've needed since then. Insured value was done by my ins. agent & my receipts value the box's & tools at $ 80K . I don't work on the line anymore , well not since 1988, when I started working as a service mgr. But I did keep buying tools. It adds up fast.
