Organize Your Adventure: The OVS Cargo Box with Slide-Out Workstation
In the world of overlanding, organization is the key to a safe, efficient, and enjoyable adventure. Stop digging through stacked plastic bins and duffel bags just to find your recovery gear or cooking supplies. The Overland Vehicle System’s (OVS) Cargo Box is the ultimate storage solution designed for the serious overlander and the organized aficionado who needs everything in its place.
This isn’t just a storage/cargo box; it’s a complete, all-in-one system for your gear, your tools, and even your camp kitchen.
The Dual-Function “Work/Party Station”
The most innovative feature of this cargo box is its ergonomically designed sliding top. This top doesn’t just flip open; it slides completely forward on military-spec stainless steel bearings. This smart design gives you two major advantages:
- Full-Access Storage: It allows you to access hard-to-reach gear at the back of the box without having to empty all your other equipment.
- A Mobile Workstation: The slide-out top reveals a durable, food-safe HDPE (high-density polyethylene plastic) workstation. It’s the perfect cutting board for meal prep, a stable platform for your camp stove, or a simple workbench for trailside repairs.
Secure, Accessible Organization
Beneath the main compartment, a removable, quick-release drawer glides out to give you instant access to your most-used items. It’s the perfect place to organize your recovery gear, camping tools, cooking utensils, or dry goods, keeping them separate and rattle-free.
When you’re away from the vehicle, your gear is safe. The entire unit is secured by an oversized, lockable paddle lock that is easy to use even with gloves on, ensuring your valuable equipment stays locked up and away from prying eyes.
Built for the Backcountry. Guaranteed.
OVS built this system to outlast your adventures. Every component is designed to withstand the harshest conditions, from desert dust to mud-soaked trails.
- Marine-Grade Durability: The box is lined with a premium, marine-grade carpet that will not stain, hold moisture, or mildew. All hardware, fasteners, and tie-downs are marine-grade stainless steel to prevent rust.
- Lifetime Bearings: The sliding components ride on stainless steel mil-spec bearings, ensuring a smooth, reliable glide for a lifetime.
- Armour-Like Finish: The entire unit is protected by a heavy-duty, two-stage dual powder coat finish that is backed by a 5-Year Finish Warranty.
Versatile and Stackable
This system is designed for your specific needs. It can be mounted to just about any flat surface, from a truck bed to a custom-built cabinet system. Four integrated forged ring tie-down points on top allow you to securely strap down additional cargo box or even stack a second box on top for a truly modular, high-capacity storage solution.

Extremely useful!!!
Purchased with the original intent of having a fridge on it, but having my camera gear in a case and able to slide out has been even better. All metal construction and feels SOLID. Slides and locks for the slides feel very sturdy and don’t rattle while driving. I got lucky with the mounting holes and was able to use an old D ring spot. The cutting board was a really cool bonus but I may make my own wooden board for it.

Just what I needed.
It’s the perfect size in my car and I can either stack two of them or leave them side by side. And I still have space on top to carry other items. Time to go camping 😊

Camping platform base for 2019 RAV4
I am using two of these drawers side by side as part of a DIY camping sleeping platform base in a 2019 RAV4. MAKE SURE THEY ARE PROPERLY SECURED FOR THIS USE. I found the carpet tops collect everything so I put vinyl over it, as shown in all pictures provided. Very impressed with their sturdiness and how the top extends to increase the sleeping platform length (picture 1). This allows for greater headspace in the tailgate area (picture 2). The drawers lend themselves to multiple accessories (picture 3). Most importantly, I can stand the drawers on end inside my 2019 RAV4 (cannot speak for any other vehicles) so I can still access the spare tire.

Well made, could be better
Just like other comments mentioned, pretty well made box, just needs to be longer and wider. Also the top pull out drawer could come out a little more. Besides that very nice box

The top slide does not lock in place. Wish return was free of charge.
The middle slide does not lock on both the drawers I purchased. The seller (updownair) was initially very responsive. After sending photos and videos to seller, I was presented with two options – return it back or accept 15% refund for the defect. Returning would cost me dollars (maybe 20%+ of product value) and lot of lifting, so that option was ruled out. I accepted the 15% refund but the seller has not responded with refund yet. I am confident Amazon will intervene and ensure the refund is issued but overall it has been a very disappointing product and seller interaction.I would not recommend this seller and product.

The slide out work station does not slide out very far.
Overall I like the cargo box for the price and utility. However I think the box should be 3 to 5 inches wider and 10 inches longer. Also the slide out work station is glitchy and too small for useful space.
