PRODUCT SHOWCASE Keep Coils in Their Place Coil Saver is a securement device that allows the driver to chain the coil on the outside along with the typical way of chaining through the eye. It is designed to prevent potential energy from transferring into kinetic energy during emergency-stop situations. It is not the number of chains but the placement of chains that makes the difference, according to the company. Coils that fall off of trailers can result in property damage, injuries and death. The company says Coil Saver has a 50 percent more retention strength versus the conventional binding methods. www.coilsaver.com Circle 101 on Reader Service Card or visit truckersnews.hotims.com Safe and Dry from Thieves and Thunderstorms The Hi-Side Truck Box has a gutter design and a full-weather seal to keep contents dry and includes a Drill- Resistant Lock Core to further prevent theft.

The gauge is designed to pinpoint problems related to the tire and rim or other problem areas that may cause runout, to provide an early indication of wheels or tires that 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. www.klineind.com Circle 103 on Reader Service Card or visit truckersnews.hotims.com continued on page 45 AUGUST 2011 TRUCKERS NEWS 41
