The boxes that house the motors themselves are powder coated alumninum and look nice on their own but we understand that preserving dock space and aesthetics are very important! We have a great deal of flexiblity in the location of the hydraulic box. The box can be located in a mechanical room, on a shelf, in a closet, in the past we have built bench's to fit over top to disguise them while giving them a function and we have even hidden them in the rafters, we are always up for suggestions!
