- Class 3 Magazines are commonly called "day boxes." These boxes are used for the on-job storage of explosives. Federal regulations ban the use of these boxes for unattended storage. We custom design these boxes for each application. Local regulations regarding the design of these boxes vary considerably.
We deliver magazines to your location FOB our shop, or load them onto the common carrier of your choice. Please note that unloading equipment is required.
