Work truck and accessories

The place to find the stuff to carry your tools.

The below resources are bits of information about the different types of tools you can buy for the different types of DIY projects currently being done around your home.

Evolution of tire chains
Over the years, snow chains have gone through a metamorphosis. At first the only type of tire chains you could purchase was what was referred to as the "ladder" design. These chains looked like a ladder wrapped around your tires which is how the come by that name. Unfortunately these chains did not offer enough protection or traction for the sides of the tires causing less control. This type of chain is no longer sold or only available in rare cases. Today you have the option of purchasing different types of chains for your vehicle, the most common being diamond pattern, cable or link types.

Purchasing car seat covers
Once you have purchased a new car, or even a slightly used car, you will want to make sure that you take excellent care of it to keep your investment from going down the drain. Wear and tear on a vehicle can really decrease the value of a car, so you will want to do as much as possible to prevent damage to both the interior and exterior of your vehicle. Purchasing and installing car seat covers is an excellent way to protect the upholstery of your car seats from stains and tears. Using floor mats will help protect the carpeting in your car from stains and the dirt and grime that is tracked in on shoes.

Commercial Fleet Tracking
A single dropped delivery can quickly result in delays, bottlenecks, administrative chaos, and, worst of all, low customer satisfaction. Simple GPS tracking devices will let you monitor all the vehicles in your fleet at once. Using GPS tracking software, you can do this in real time over the Internet. Maps and moving icons will show you where every car and truck in your employment are located.

Truck bed liners are up to date technology to add durability and protection. A truck bed liner prevents damage to the cargo area as you throw stuff in and drag it back out.

Installing trailer hitches
Installing a trailer hitch may at first glance seem difficult and confusing, but it is easy with the right information and tools. Most people are able to do it successfully without professional help. First, read the installation instructions that come with the trailer hitch. Second, become familiar with the following universal tips to make trailer hitch installation easy.

The truck tool box is great for stashing sports and fishing equipment
Today's truck tool boxes are not only great for carrying tools to work, they are also handy for stashing sports and fishing equipment. They also allow items to be transported safely in the truck bed. With their limited cab space, pickup trucks aren't that great for hauling a large quantity of items and keeping them safe from theft. Lockable toolboxes come in a variety of different styles for every type of truck on the road.

Selecting a winch
When selecting a winch, be sure it can pull 1.5 times the gross weight of your vehicle (GVW). When figuring out how much winch capability you need, don't forget to take into account the 12 percent drop in pulling power for every wrap of cable on the drum. A 9,000-pound winch has a line pull of about 7,000 pounds on the third wrap. The GVW is the weight of your vehicle when it is fully loaded. Before you go to weigh your vehicle, fill up your gas tank and load up all your off-road goodies, tools, hi-lift jacks, and passengers. You don't want to have to unload your passengers and equipment when you need to use your winch or hoist.
