Okay, here you go

Test it and tell me the results to let me know

local tank = {} 
  
function PutBoxOnHand(tank, x, y, z) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) --Get the players position 
    tank[source] = createObject ( 1220, x, y, z + 5 ) --Create a tank 
    attachElements ( tank[source], source, 0, 0, -1 ) --Attach the tank to the player. 
end 
addEvent("PutBoxOnHand", true) 
addEventHandler("PutBoxOnHand", getRootElement(),PutBoxOnHand) 
  
function removeBoxFromHands (thePlayer) 
    if (isElementAttached(tank[source])) then 
     detachElements(tank[source]) 
   end 
end 
addEvent("removeBoxHands", true) 
addEventHandler("removeBoxHands", getRootElement(),removeBoxFromHands)

Yes this function just detach the element, So do you want me to make the box destroyed?

[Ronis]

yes

[KariiiM]

Try that and tell me if there's any error

local tank = {} 
  
function PutBoxOnHand() 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) --Get the players position 
    tank[source] = createObject ( 1220, x, y, z + 5 ) --Create a tank 
    attachElements ( tank[source], source, 0, 0, -1 ) --Attach the tank to the player. 
end 
addEvent("PutBoxOnHand", true) 
addEventHandler("PutBoxOnHand", getRootElement(),PutBoxOnHand) 
  
function removeBoxFromHands () 
    if tank[source] and isElement(tank[source]) then 
    destroyElement(tank[source]) 
    tank[source] = nil 
   end 
end 
addEvent("removeBoxHands", true) 
addEventHandler("removeBoxHands", getRootElement(),removeBoxFromHands)
