[TowerTalk] Weatherproof Containers

I am looking for a source that supplies plastic or fiberglass boxes for external use.

At the moment, I want to mount an Array Solutions SixPak antenna relay box at a tower base. I content with salt spray and general coastal wx, including UV. I need the container to be as weatherproof as possible. Would also like a sealing front cover that can be opened to access the SixPak   unit. Additionally, I would like to deep enough to allow control and coax cable entry through the bottom. 

Also would be interested in any ideas anyone has come up with to weather protect the hand winches used on crankup towers and the layover fixtures. 

Additionally, does anyone know the manufacturer/model of the hand winch used with the old Hy-Gain HG-70HD crankup? It is different than the K1550 on the layover fixture I have.
Suggestions as to sources would be appreciated.
