Used Truck Battery Box Supports, Trays & Housings

Used truck battery box supports, trays & housings

This category brings together the structural parts that hold and protect 24V battery packs on heavy trucks. Here you will find the steel carriers, trays and housings that mount the batteries to the chassis, shield them from road spray and impact, and keep them accessible for service.

What you will find in the Battery Supports & Housings category

• Complete battery box assemblies with steel carrier, plastic lid and end covers.
• Battery box trays and supports mounted along the chassis rails.
• Plastic or metal battery housings, lids and end covers (with or without locks).
• Side steps integrated with the battery box on certain long-haul tractors.
• Mounting brackets, cross-members and reinforcement pieces for battery carriers.
• Straps, retainers and other hardware that secure the battery pack inside the box.

Truck brands & typical applications

Stock in this category focuses on modern European heavy trucks such as MAN TGX/TGS, DAF XF/CF, Volvo FH/FM and Mercedes-Benz Actros, with parts removed from Euro 6 donor vehicles and similar. Where possible, product titles and descriptions list OEM numbers and typical model applications so fleets and workshops can match existing battery box layouts on their trucks.

Why battery supports & housings matter

Battery box supports and housings do more than simply “hold the batteries”. They carry the weight of the 24V battery pack, protect it from vibration, road debris, water and salt, and keep cables routed safely along the chassis. A sound housing reduces the risk of chafed cables, damaged cases or loose batteries that can lead to starting issues and expensive electrical faults.

When to replace the battery box or support

• Heavy corrosion on the steel tray or carrier, especially around mounting points.
• Cracked or broken plastic housings, lids or end covers.
• Previous repairs or welding that no longer meet your fleet’s safety standards.
• Missing straps, locks or brackets after an impact or component theft.
• Upgrades or changes to battery capacity that require a different style of box.

How to choose the correct battery support or housing

To minimise fitting issues, always compare the listing with the assembly already on your truck:

• Truck brand, model and Euro class – for example MAN TGX Euro 6, DAF XF106, Volvo FH4/FM4 or Mercedes Actros MP4.
• Chassis side and position – left/right side, location along the frame and any step integration.
• OEM part numbers – check the stamping on the existing tray, housing or lid and match against the OEM references shown in the product description.
• Battery layout – number and size of batteries, orientation and cable exit positions.
• Included components – whether the listing is for a complete box with covers and brackets, or just the tray/support.

If you are unsure, contact us with your VIN and photos of the current battery box so our team can help you confirm compatibility before ordering.

Used OEM parts from tested donor trucks

All battery supports and housings in this category are removed from carefully selected donor vehicles in our dismantling yard. Each assembly is visually inspected for structural integrity, cleaned externally and photographed from multiple angles so you can see the exact condition, OEM numbers and mounting points before you buy.

For more details on how we source, strip, test and store components, see our page Our Dismantling & Quality Process and the blog article about the VRA Truckparts dismantling and quality workflow.
