Mobile File Chest

I use these boxes regularly for court, especially trials. The design has changed a little over the years, but remains essentially the same as 15 years ago. We're rough on them. We'll throw a bankers box on top and wheel them from parking to courtroom. I use these a few times a week, daily during trial. They last a few years before the handles break off the sides or the extending handle busts. There are more robust options but none that look as nice, few that lock. I wish they were tougher. I'd pay for Vaultz boxes that were all metal, no cardboard. I'd pay for stronger handles that were a few inches longer. I'm not that tall, like five foot nine. The handles are just a bit too short. I'd pay for some kind of organizer in the lid, just a few mesh pockets, pen loops, or zipper pockets. I don't need a ton of supplies in court, but I'd like to have the trial box hold them instead of losing table space or having to bring a briefcase. Same for IT gear like chargers and cords. Vaultz are the best looking trial boxes by far, I just wish they were the most functional, too. That said, for the price, they bring a lot to the table and do the job. For example, the links won't stop a determined thief. I've popped them with a Cross pen. They will keep a dishonest prosecutor or snoopy bailiff out of your work product, though. The wheels could be much better if they were a bit bigger and more durable, such as inline skate wheels. Overall, plenty of space for books, binders, and files. Relatively secure. Professional appearance. Takes a fair bit of abuse. Worth the money. I haven't found anything else better and I look for better every time some associate drops one down a flight of stairs or yanks the handle off one dragging it through a busted up country court parking lot. Over 100 jury trials, vaultz has been there for nearly every one.

The wheels and telescoping handle were a big part of why I chose this one. My work insisted on the locks. They chose a different one for me made of rubberized cloth and cardboard. I passed theirs off to another agent in my office within a few days and bought this instead for a few bucks more than their choice. Worth every penny, plus. In most ways, this is perfect. A couple of pockets in the lid for office supplies or phone, pen holders, and bars on the sides to support legal size hanging folders. It comes with a cushioned laptop sleeve and has two built-in dividers to help organize the spacious interior. The locks are as sturdy as one could expect from the product’s price point, and far better than the one my work chose. My only complaint is that one of the side bars for hanging folders snapped off within a few weeks. But I probably overloaded it. I have been using the built-in dividers to organize my files instead, and it still works great. Highly recommended.

Product was not as large dimension wise as I thought, and not as sturdy as I thought but overall a good product to store my documents and deter curious/nosy minds. Please not that the dimensions are smaller than I expected because the measurements take into account the outside handles/wheels (side, back and bottom). Thus giving the impression that it would be more that adequate for legal size files AND Folders. It is actually adequate for legal size folders but it is a snug fit. Furthermore, not as sturdy as I thought but it is lighter in weight. This is not meant for protection from anyone wanting to break in to see what is inside. A basic screw driver or box cutter can easily do that, But it is a decent deterrent from curious minds. For that purpose, it is adequate and met my expectations.

This product delivers its own description. It is easily portable either by hand-carry or by use of its casters and retractable handle. It has double 3-digit numerical locks. This adds a layer of security. However, how secure is it??? Think of it as a carry-on luggage with similar features, ie, portability, casters, combo lock(s). If it is easily portable for you, it can also be easily portable for a stranger. The locks won't keep a stranger from breaking in. I haven't tried it (of course), but the locks can probably be easily broken into with a screwdriver. In summary: if you want to use it for a bunch of files (or other things), I recommend using it for belongings that would not be a huge loss if taken away. Have back-up copies at your discretion. Convenience is a stronger factor than security here.

Our Bible study group bought this for our Pastor and he loves it. He has so many different groups and handouts. Now they are all in one place. He doesn’t have to carry anything!

I purchased a Vaultz Portable File Box with Handle Back in 4/2023 from Amazon. I use it only about 2x a month to transport confidential files from home to work and vice versa. The handle was not the sturdiest from the get go then became looser and has now fallen off completely. Now all I have is a locking box on wheels. I have used the same Vaultz file boxes over the years (they anre not the greatest but they were the only option I have found) and this one was the worst yet quality wise. Others lasted a couple of years or so. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. Seeing how the handle was held on to the box left a lot to be desired. They essentially used 4 (tiny) circular metal prongs to affix the handle to the (thin MDF?) box and those prongs simply wore a hole in the box that they were affixed to. Not even glue to reinforce the handle on the box - just the tiny prongs. Shame on Vaultz! How was that supposed to transport a box full of heavy paper files (as is the intent of the device)? I am attaching video. I am so disgusted with this ridiculous design flaws. The Vaultz company has gone severely down hill. Hoping Vaultz customer service resolves the issue as I wrote them an email.

I didn’t need a big file cabinet, this size was perfect for me although the inside is roomy. I liked it being on wheels so I could transport it easily. The lid closes tightly and it’s waterproof. Although it’s all it’s sturdy and durable.

These boxes are perfect. Good size. Portable. Use them as my get away box for emergencies. So far haven’t needed for that, but I’m ready!

Box is good, used it only once so far, using it again in a week, happy with purchase if it stays like it is.

Perfecto tamaño para lo que yo quería, por fuera es de buena calidad pero por dentro ya se despegó un poco una orilla.

Excelente producto, útil para el fin descrito, sirve para almacenar la documentación mas importante y se resguarda en forma segura

The intial one was damaged and I could not put letter files in it. Amazon support was great and sent a replacement very quickly and this one is working very well.

Really great perfect for what I needed.
