Wheel heat indicator label
Esco’s Hot Wheel heat indicator label, attached to a wheel or rim by self-adhesives, is designed to warn drivers, maintenance personnel and safety inspectors of possible wheel end, bearing and brake failure during walkaround inspections. When the temperature of the wheel reaches 250 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature-sensitive white arrow changes to and remains bright orange, warning of an overheated wheel condition. After the wheel problem has been corrected, a new Hot Wheel decal must be installed. Although the decal is not designed to indicate all instances of a possible wheel end component malfunction, it will indicate excess temperature for prolonged periods that could cause decreased function or failure.

Fuel tank sensor line
Dieselcraft offers a line of sensors designed to detect water at the bottom of a fuel tank or for installation in water separators to alert the user to water presence. Model 06-5 is a solid-state sending unit, while Model 06-6SP is a self-grounding stainless-steel probe. Model 06-5 is designed to detect water in diesel fuel and gasoline but also will detect water in fluids with less conductivity than water, while Model 06-6SP comes with an additional output lead to use with a PCL control to send an alarm to shut down the equipment. The ABS electronic enclosure houses two LED lights; the green LED light indicates the sensor has power and is ready to work, while the larger red LED will come on and stay on when water is detected. The unit also incorporates an audible alarm that will sound for 5 seconds to bring attention to the water detected.
The Model FWS-HH portable water detector is a handheld unit that can be used in conjunction with the tank-dipping process.

Waste oil cleaner
Dieselcraft Fluid Engineering’s Fuel Factory, a modular drum top centrifuge processing system driven by a gear pump, is designed to clean 216 gallons of waste oil per hour. The system is built to clean waste motor oil, diesel fuel, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid and vegetable oil without any filters; it also will separate any solid from the liquid and remove water. The device is built on a ¼-inch powder-coated aluminum plate that holds the two centrifuges, pump, motor, switch and 12-inch pour opening. The Fuel Factory is designed to fit inside and just below the top edge of a standard 55-gallon open top drum; by being below the top ½-inch, there are fewer spills on the ground. Pour the waste oil product through the pour opening and turn on the heater and the pump; the processed oil then is pumped to the storage drum by use of the same pump that drives the centrifuges. The device is designed for easy removal from the drum.

Metal coil securement device
Coil Saver is a securement device for hauling steel coils on flatbed trailers. The device allows a driver to chain a coil on both the outside and through its eye, providing more retention strength versus conventional binding methods to help prevent the coil from shifting during transit and – in some cases, due to the large amount of kinetic energy generated during emergency braking situations – breaking loose from its chains.

Tire runout gauge
K-Line Industries’ Tire Runout Gauge measures both radial and lateral tire runout conditions, helping to eliminate irregular tire wear and ride vibration while lengthening tire life. The runout gauge is designed to pinpoint problems either directly related to the tire and rim or some other trouble areas that may be causing runout, providing an early indicator of wheels and/or tires that may need to be reworked or discarded. The device uses a roller wheel placed against the tire tread combined with a gauge bar, individual low- and high-spot sliders and a magnified measurement readout that shows the amount of runout present. If the runout exceeds the stated limits, a check can be made and repairs completed for the possible reasons, including bent or cocked rims, improperly adjusted wheel bearings, improper tire bead seating, tire flat spots and improperly tightened rim clamps or rear rim spacers.

SmartWay-verified drive tire
Goodyear’s G572 LHD drive tire features the company’s proprietary Fuel Max Technology and is verified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s SmartWay Transport Partnership. The G572 LHD, which replaces the G372A LHD, features the same 30/32 -inch tread depth but is designed for lower rolling resistance and improved dry and wet stopping distances, plus overall traction. The G572 LHD also features Goodyear’s proprietary TredLock Technology, which interlocks the tread’s microgrooves for added stability and longer life while promoting even wear. Circumferential and lateral tread grooves help enhance all-season performance, while penetration protectors help impede stone drilling for longer casing life and multiple retreads. Four ultra-tensile steel belts help reinforce the tread and provide a solid foundation for retreading. The G572 LHD comes in four sizes: 11R22.5 and 11R24.5, both in G and H load ratings; and 295/75R22.5 and 285/75R24.5, both in G load ratings.
