Your Trucks New Armor.
The power behind our Pauldron Shoulderboxes is modular, armored design built for real-world trades. Featuring a distinctive 20-degree departure angle that compliments modern truck cabs, Pauldrons are crafted from premium aluminum for maximum durability without unnecessary weight. Each box is available in lengths from 2′ to 8′, and can be purchased individually or as a complete assembly with a bulkhead protector and removable rear crossbar for overhead material transport. With weights ranging from 62 lbs to 165 lbs per box, Pauldrons are lightweight enough for practical installation yet strong enough to endure daily abuse on job sites across Canada. Designed to fit domestic short box (82″) and long box (98″) pickups from Ford, Chevy, and Dodge (2000 to present), Pauldrons integrate seamlessly with the trucks professionals already rely on.
Customization is at the core of the Pauldron system. Interiors can be outfitted with shelves, drawers, hooks, or dividers to maximize efficiency, while finishes can be upgraded from bare aluminum to powder-coated black, white, or custom colors. Whether you’re a contractor, mechanic, landscaper, or hydro worker, Pauldrons deliver adaptable storage with a professional-grade aesthetic. Installations can be performed in-house or quoted for custom applications, and Rival can also fulfill fleet-scale orders with ease, offering discounts on purchases of five or more units. From single trucks to multi-vehicle operations, the Rival Pauldron Shoulderbox equips your team with rugged, Canada-rated performance designed to protect your tools and empower your work.
