The Dee Zee Plastic A-Frame Trailer Tool Box, part # DZ91717P, has an exterior height of 17-3/4-inches. Its interior height will be approximately 1-1/2 inches shorter according to my contact at Dee Zee.

I measured a standard 20-lb propane tank here at our facility and it measures 18 inches tall, including the circular guard around the valve. This will be too tall to fit within the Dee Zee tool box.

We do offer a larger 7.24 cubic foot trailer tool box from Dee Zee, the aluminum # DZ91717. This unit measures 22-3/4 inches tall on the exterior and includes a lock with 2 keys. Items the size of two standard propane tanks should easily fit vertically in this tool box, but note it may not be legal in all states to place propane containers in an enclosure. Check with your local authorities to make sure.

Propane tanks can't be store inside of an enclosed container like a toolbox. If they build enough pressure it has to vent out to open air. That is why the plastic propane tank covers you see on trailers are open at the bottom. I recommend a…

If you can't place any weight on the trailer in any way that limits a lot of the options. Basically you'd have to decide if you could fit in in the interior or use a bunk like part #CC-255 as a platform on the tongue of the trailer. This is…

Though the UWS A-Frame Trailer Toolbox - 6.3 cu ft - Gloss Black #UWS01065 will measure 49 inches at the back, 24 inches at the front, 18 inches deep, and 21 inches tall, I cannot suggest using it as a propane tank case. This is due to propane tanks…
