Australia’s vast wilderness isn’t just a travel dream, it’s a real adventure that comes with serious preparation. Those endless dusty trails, remote beaches, and wild bush tracks demand you take things seriously, especially when it comes to fuel and water. That’s why so many off-roaders, tradies, and weekend explorers count on jerry cans to keep them moving. But if you’re still tossing those cans loose in the tray or strapping them down with a bit of hope and a lot of bungee cord, it’s time for a game changer: the Lockable Jerry Can Holder.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll show you why a lockable holder from Australian Performance Boxes isn’t just a smart idea, it’s an essential bit of kit for anyone who travels the country’s wild spaces with fuel or water on board. Here’s how it keeps you protected, sorted, and secure, wherever the road takes you.
What Is a Lockable Jerry Can Holder?
At its core, a lockable jerry can holder is a purpose-built box designed to hold your jerry can firmly in place, no matter how rough the ride gets. But the real upgrade? Peace of mind. With robust, lockable features, these holders not only keep your vital liquids safe from spills but also away from unwanted hands.
The Australian Performance Boxes Lockable Jerry Can Holder stands out in the crowd, offering a combination of heavy-duty design, anti-theft options, and field-tested practicality. Built from 3.0mm thick aluminium flat plate and twin stainless steel over centre latches (ready to be padlocked).

Let’s face it fuel is more expensive than ever and water is precious. The last thing you want is to arrive at a remote campsite only to find someone’s helped themselves to your valuable supplies. The Lockable Jerry Can Holder provides theft protection, with its latches ready for your favourite padlock. Whether your rig is parked at a popular trailhead or you're stopping overnight at a campground, this holder sends a clear message: Hands Off.
Built for the Rough Stuff
When the road turns to corrugations, potholes, or sharp river crossings, an ordinary tie-down just isn’t enough. Our holder is manufactured from thick aluminium, it’s lightweight yet incredibly strong, designed to brush off vibrations, jostling, and everything the outback throws at it. Forget about dented cans, leaks, or busted mounts. Your jerry will sit flush, tight, and silent right where you want it: ready to pour.
Tidy, Accessible, and Always Ready
A loose jerry can rolling around in your tray is a hazard waiting to happen, not just from spillage but from potential damage to your gear or even personal injury. A dedicated holder not only keeps your load organised; it makes sure your fuel or water is right where you need it. With easy-open latches (simply unlock, pop the levers and go), you can refill or top up in seconds.
From a quick water refill for the kids on the roadside to a fast fuel top-up 200km from the nearest servo, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without the convenience of a proper holder.
It doesn’t matter if you drive a seasoned 4x4 tourer, a tradie ute, or a camper trailer, the lockable holder is the universal solution to carrying 20L jerry cans safely. It bolts on where you need it: canopy side walls, rear carriers, or custom toolboxes. Its neat, purposeful lines suit any rig, and the extra weight is barely noticeable thanks to the lightweight but ultra-tough aluminium design.

Protect the Aussie Bush
Every drop of fuel and sip of water counts when you’re miles from anywhere. An unsecured or damaged can is more than just a personal hassle, it’s an environmental risk. Leaking petrol, diesel, or even water can harm the fragile Aussie landscape, contaminating soil, waterways, and wildlife habitats.
A lockable holder is more than just convenient; it’s your safeguard against accidental spills and a smart way to respect the places you love to explore.
All-Around Versatility
Our holders aren’t just for fuel. Got spare water for washing? Carrying vital liquids for work, gardening, or long road trips? The robust design keeps any standard-shaped jerry can secure. Some of our customers even use them for safe, external storage of recovery gear, spare engine oils, or emergency supplies.
