Not at the tower base, but I use a 42h x36w x18d office supplies cabinet, 2 doors for my entrance j-box. I bought the welded up one. 3x 3" + 3x 2" bottom and sides conduits in plus 2x 3" conduits into the shack out the back. A couple of coats of latex house paint and all is well in Seattle rain after 8 years. Cheaper, easier to work inside, and much easier to punch than a Knaack. Although some mice decided to live in the tower runs - bronze wool stuffing solved that :) .

Has anyone used a Knaack jobsite storage box or similar at the base of
their tower to house equipment?

I am familiar with Hoffman enclosures, however I might want to place a
mini-PC/Raspberry Pi (for wireless antenna switching) or even a QRO remote
antenna tuner along with several stack matches in the box. I also would be
looking to bring 120VAC into the box.

It sure seems that with a set of Greenlee punches, one of these job boxes
would work out nicely.
