Traveling by Air with a Large "Husky" Mobile Job Box
Good Day ! I would like to know if it is possible or if anybody has already traveled International with a Large 50 Gal "Husky" or similar Mobile Job Box as Luggage. I am traveling from Orlando to Brazil via Copa Airlines and would like to know if it is permitted. I have consulted the airline and all they tell me is that if the dimensions do not exceed the maximum allowance, than it is fine, thus I would like to have a feedback from somebody who has actually done this before. Your replies would be very helpful and highly appreciated.

According to Copa's baggage policy between the United States and Brazil and you're traveling economy, you're allowed two checked pieces. Each must weigh 32 kg / 70 lb or less and the total linear dimensions cannot exceed 62 inches / 158 cm.
I randomly chose a Stanley 50 gallon mobile tool chest to check dimensions and weight. Final assembly size is 37.00 x 23.00 x 23.00 inches and weighs 40.625 lb. Because the total linear dimensions is 83 inches, you'll have to pay a $150 oversize bag fee. If you go over the weight limit, you'll get a $250 overweight fee and can only go up to 99 lb / 45 kg.
Note: I found the Husky box you mentioned, "37 in.", and the dimensions are the same as the Stanley one I used as an example.

Can I bring an oversized box on a plane?
Most US airlines allow a free carry on, however, the prices start to jump to $30 or more for a standard checked bag/box and even higher for oversized or overweight bags/boxes.How big of a box Can I fly with?
Most domestic airlines publish checked baggage size limits as a single dimension: 62 linear inches total. International airlines vary slightly, but the 62-inch rule is the most common standard worldwide. Bags larger than 62 linear inches can still fly, but they may be subject to additional fees.Can you bring a moving box on a plane?
You can bring it as long as will fit in the overhead bin or underneath the seat of the airplane. As for boxes, you can certainly check them as long as they fit the required dimensions. The air travel regulations have to do with the size and weight of the luggage you are bringing, and not necessarily with the kind.How do you fly with oversized items?
Large devices weighing more than 1kg must be stowed either in the overhead locker or under the seat in front during take-off and landing, but usually you'll be allowed to hold on to smaller items like cameras and phones. Be sure to flick your device to flight mode before boarding.Rolling Tool Storage System at The Home Depot DESTROYS MILWAUKEE \u0026 DeWALT
