Obsessed with unusual industrial objects, my wife has a talent for discovering companies you've never heard of that produce sector-specific specialty items. Her latest find is Bawer, an Italian manufacturer that produces "high-tech, avant-garde steel products for the automotive, medical and museum markets."

Their catalog is fascinating. Here I'll show you just one of their specialties: "Bawer Multibox Special Toolbox Multifunctional Storage Containers," meant to be integrated with service vehicles. (Bear in mind that this is a European company, so the product descriptions on their website range from sucky to non-existent.)

Bawer 48 Multibox

"It combines a toolbox, a fire extinguisher box and a hand wash tank."

Portacatene Special Line

With no description provided by the company, I imagine it's shaped this way in order to fit between two wheel wells on the same side of a multi-axis vehicle.

Cassetta Special Line

No description provided by the company.

Cassetta Bianca Special Line

No description provided by the company.

Retrocab Storage Box

No description provided by the company.

Toolbox with Gojack

No description provided by the company, but I'm thinking they're meant to store these things.

Multifunctional Toolbox

Can be kitted out with a variety of interior fittings.

Fire Extinguisher Box

I'm guessing it's up to the user to apply an easy-to-spot-in-an-emergency icon on the front.

In the photos above, the scale of these objects is not adequately conveyed. To get a better sense of how large these are, have a look at the Bawer toolbox below, installed by Maryland Carrier & Wrecker Sales:
