Nose Cone (Top Loading/Cooler) and In-between box

Nose cone and in-between box on a Fox

The insulated nose cone is an excellent cool box and will keep ice cold for several days.

In the days before portable fridges, this nose-cone was use, with meat packed in layers with dry ice, to keep meat frozen on extended overland trips.

  

 

 A nose cone is one of the first items to add to your Desert Wolf basic trailers. Several options are available, but when you have no need for a fridge in the nose, a handy cooler box is a good option

The nose cone is manufactured from grade 304 non magnetic stainless steel and has one large top door, supported by a gas strut to keep it open while you work.

The nose cone has a standard drain tap and valve.

Optional insulation can be added. During this process a stainless steel liner is inserted into the box and its lid, and the space between the box and the liner is filled with insulating foam. The result is an excellent cool box, with drain valve. This is ideal when you want to keep beer or soft drinks cold using ice.

The top-loading nose cone is shorter than the side loading nose cone, with the implication that some space on the trailer A-frame is wasted with the nose cone. If you need the additional space, the top-loading nose cone can be mounted more forward, and the space between the nose cone and the trailer load bin are utilized by the in-between box with its side doors.

Dependencies / Recommendations
This nose cone works well with any trailer model. The box can be used without insulation for general storage or ordered with insulation to make a large cooler. The insulation cannot be ordered without the box. The in-between box can be ordered independently, but its recommended use is to add additional storage space between the main load bin and this nose cone.
