I have a large wheeled toolbox which fits the description and cost
about 40 quid from B&Q. It's pretty heavy though. If you're on a
20Kg limit you don't want the box to take up 1/3rd of the allowance!

I've also seen crates without the wheels called 'Gear Gulpers', and
I think Scubapro also market a version with their name stamped on.
