Italian term or phrase: contenitore porta materiale
Si tratta di un accessorio installabile su un veicolo per la pulitura delle strade. È identico al cassone di un camion o furgoncino e serve appunto per trasportare attrezzi o materiali vari.
Sul dizionario Marolli ho trovato contenitore per trasporto materiali = skip box ma non trovo molti riscontri in internet.
Can you help me?

Explanation:
..or, if you want to be on the safe side, use a slightly more descriptive translation, particularly the first time the term is mentioned in the text and use 'box' for recurring references.
