45 Weigh Safe (WSF) Dedicated to a 100% Made in the USA guarantee on its popular Weigh Safe and 180° Drop Hitches, this SEMA award winning company from Utah produces the only hitches on the market with a built-in scale to measure tongue weight and improve towing performance. Crafted with care and precision, using state-of-the-art equipment and locally sourced materials, Weigh Safe’s products are engineered to be lightweight and long-lasting, ideal for customers seeking convenient and durable towing solutions. And the company’s innovative built-in scales supply users with a better understanding of their towable, promoting safe operation and travel habits. Hooking to trailers like any other ball mount, Weigh Safe’s Drop Hitch uses a small built-in gauge that measures down force with hydraulic fluid. This then activates a scale that accurately and clearly lets users know if their load distribution is too little or too much on the ball mount. Alternately, the company’s Universal Tow Ball allows users to add this revolutionary convenience to their current trailer hitch set up, as the tongue weight scale is built into the hitch ball. Plus, a clamshell tow ball converter provides the ability to tow trailers with both 2” and 2-5/16” couplers. Additionally, frequent travelers looking for a simple way to switch trailers without having to install a new tow ball, will find quick and easy turnover adjustments in the company’s 180° Hitch, which is constructed of aircraft- grade aluminum and stainless steel. PullRite (P1X) A proven, tested manufacturer with over 40 years of designing innovative fifth wheel hitches, short bed truck hitches, and travel trailer hitches, PullRite strives to exceed customer expectations with new technology and well-crafted products. The company’s line of SuperGlide hitches are a go-to solution for short bed towing, as they are the only fully automatic sliding hitches available for short box trucks. During operation, the SuperGlide cam arm automatically moves the hitch and trailer away from the cab, eliminating the need for drivers to get out of the truck and make manual adjustments. The forerunner of this technology, the Traditional Series SuperGlide, remains a viable solution for older models, as it was designed to sit lower in the bed, accommodating the low bed rails of older short-bed trucks. The ISR Series (Industry Standard Rail) offers customers more power of choice, providing both a quality new fifth wheel option as well as an easy upgrade to existing manual slide hitches, thanks to the system’s tabbed base feet that install directly onto any industry standard rail. And PullRite’s newest offering, the OE Puck Series SuperGlide, installs directly to the factory underbed four-point mounting system with no tools required. Additionally, when customers opt for the SuperRail mounting system, all base rails can quickly and easily be removed, allowing for a clean truck bed when not towing and no need to carve chunks out of bed mats and liners. Trailer Valet (T4A) Providing the first and only tongue jack dolly system with the ability to safely pivot, position, and move a trailer with ease, Trailer Valet is the tool your customers need to solve their trailer maneuverability problems. The company’s 5X dolly handles most trailers weighing up to 5,000 pounds and features high quality parts, an automatic brake, and dual 9” tires, while the XL model tackles trailers up to 10,000 pounds with easier cranking and a drill bit adapter for motorized operation. The new XL Pro further pushes the envelope by accommodating trailers up to 12,000 pounds and adding easy-grip handlebars and a built-in 60V brushless drill, further improving operation comfort and safety. A revolutionary self-motorized and remote controlled unit, the RVR, is also available. Available in three models ranging from 3,500 lb., 5,500 lb., and 9,000 lb. capacities, it features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery providing 30 minutes of runtime, a 40-foot remote range, and heavy-duty caterpillar threads that can tackle any terrain. TireMinder (M6L) With a full line of Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) and premium tire gauges, TireMinder is dedicated to providing top quality products that enhance the security and well being of its customers while employing environmentally friendly construction and operation. New for 2019 is the TireMinder Trailer TPMS, a solar powered and window- mounted tire monitor specially designed for dual or single axle trailers running 70 PSI or less. Available in 2-tire or 4-tire monitoring capabilities, the system features a monocrystalline solar panel, durable lithium battery, and color LCD display screen which provides tire pressure and temperature readings. A hardwired signal booster is also included for reliable connectivity. The company’s tire gauges are available in both mechanical and digital formats and promise accurate, easy-to-read results. New to the lineup are the 6-in-1 Digital Tire Gauge and High Precision Digital RV Gauge. The former features +/- 1 PSI precision from a 5-150 PSI pressure range with a clear LED backlight display, plus added functionality as a flashlight, emergency window shattering hammer, and seat belt cutter. The latter provides equally accurate readings in a premium all-metal construction with two interchangeable heads (straight and 45°), bright green backlight display, and flashlight capability.
