The Midwests Biggest Work truck show!!

Want to do a long push with a lot of ice? Take it down. Let the waves do the work for you. And I've had more than one catalytic converter stolen. So, this is spray paint from yesterday. It's the solution that we just put down. That's cutting through that spray paint. So, this turns a truck into a work van. I mean, this is incredible. Pop and lock like like you're going to wrap. Can you do a little popping and locking? I can do a little pop and unlocking. Come on, Jeff. You got to get into it. Good morning, good evening, good afternoon, one and all. We are at work truck week in Indiana, Indianapolis. We're going to be going in and checking out this convention. This will be my second time coming here. It's not the biggest, so hopefully I'll be able to cover it all in one day. But oddly enough, at work truck week, there's a lot of snow plows, a lot of plowing gear, a lot of uh a lot of uh accessories and attachments that attract attaches or works cohesively with go figure work trucks. So, we're going to see what's new in the industry today. Take you along for the ride. I'll do all the walking, you do all the gawking. God bless. this. All right, guys. I'm going to angle the camera so you can kind of see when you come to work trick week. There's a lot of uh specialty applications, things that you may or may not find a relevance to your exact industry, but there's a lot of hidden gems in here as well. Uh, so that's what we look for. The little things that uh you just can't find anywhere else. Like a Glad Hill snow plow. I've never heard of this. But look at the roll on that. Holy buckets. Look at the roll on that snow plow. That's going to roll that snow. Oh, tollwise not impressed with the paint, but paint wears off from all of them. I'm going to tell you right now, this is a very, very heavy duty looking snow plow. Be better for like I had an old school one called a Leo was made in Minnesota back in my neck of the woods. It was one of my very first snow plows and that was a commercial grade heavy heavyduty plow. We're talking about oh built the way they're built when you you know when you when you know putting more metal at something is the right way to do things. Now we have different ways of handling hitting curbs and things like that. But uh let's just keep going. We'll show you the rest of the the thing and we'll take you for the tour you guys. Oh yeah. So I guess I do want to clarify when I say different ways of hitting curbs and handling, you know, the destructive capabilities of a plow. Now with like things like Arctic, it's uh next level. This is called the space cap and it is really a uh topper designed to hold tools. Is this your Tell me about this, will you, Richard? So it's it's completely sealed. It's a fiberglass body. Yep. It's uh removable within an hour. So, you get a new truck, get a forklift, take it out, put it in the new truck, good to go. How much uh what is it really designed for? How much space are we g gaining out of this thing? I mean, you look at this thing. And uh you can stand up and Yeah. It's to take the place of the minivan. So, this So, this turns a truck into a work van. I mean, this is incredible. Yep. And the height you can go through three or four trucks with one space cap, right? It's so it's completely just pull it off from one and put it on another. Totally self-contained. Yeah. This is amazing. So, you're not married to the motor of the truck and the the the underc carriage and everything else, but you have all of the advantages of a of a cargo van that you can take off of a of a You don't screw up the residual values on the trucks like you do if you pull off a reading or an app service body. Now, it's a stripped cap chassis that's used. There's no market for that. Right. Right. Right. Right. These we typically ask we do a Rhino liner on the bed before we install it. Yep. But again, there's no drill, nothing into the frame, nothing into the bed. So, the truck's clean when you remove the Yeah. So, I built a work truck. So, I pulled the body off and I put on a fiberglass uh body on it. And uh but you know, I take that fiberglass body, that's got to that's married to it at that point. With this, it's a topper. Yes. So, it's a true service body uh that's self-contained. The drain is is amazing. Um, in our manufacturing process, I mean, it's very much that of like you walk in and see a boat manufacturer. So, this is called the space space cap. Space cap. All right. Thanks, Matt. Huh? Oh, thank you. You need any further? Okay. Thank you. So there's things like straps really tie downs, hitches, lots of options here. Uh let's just keep the show rolling and see what else we've got cooking at this show. Let you just take a look around as we go. All right, so this is a kind of a cool tie down system. We've actually seen this one before and actually you demonstrated it for me last year. How are you, sir? Good. How are you? Good to see you. Good to see you again. Can you give us a quick demo of uh how this works cuz this is on this is on a lot of uh municipality trucks, fire, law enforcement, military, landscapers use this. But tell me about it. Would you mind? Absolutely. We got a lot of different tool mounting and equipment. Um these are some of our friction locking brackets that kind of pop right in and right out and then pull right off of the hook. Then you can reinstall it. Now you can go down the road like that with that on the side outside of a truck. Yeah, we recommend the the positive locking brackets um for the outside of a truck. So these are our handle locks. They'll go in um they work with a pocket. We sell a lot of different pockets you can either hang or use as a pocket and then cinch in. Um, all of our positive locking brackets, they're rated in the fire industry, but also military and a lot of other industries, um, for the outside of a vehicle, inside a cab, you know, with people. Um, so they all have a 2 to1 safety factor. And now you got lot of different mounting options as well. As I look behind you, Thomas. Yeah, absolutely. I'm seeing that you could mount this on the the a UTV rack, the back headache rack of a pickup truck. Yeah. Or something like this because now you've got a clamping option here. Yeah, we got a roll bar mount. Um we got a inch and 3/4 round roll bar mount for UTVs, side by sides. We also have a square mounting option for farm tractors, uh for different equipment to mount different things on. Um we got a lot of hangers and hooks. um as well as uh some other positive locking brackets, some adjustable ones. Um you can move these modules, you can adjust the strap, you know, really to anything that works for you. All right, so if guys wanted more information, they go to performance advantage company. Yes, packtomounts.com and all the information is right there. Thank you, sir. Thank you. All right, guys. Not all rollup doors are created equal. Melanie, what do you do that's different with your rollup door? So, we have um an internal hinge mechanism, so there aren't any external hinges, so it's nice and clean. Uh the way that the panels are designed, when you roll the door up, you don't have debris falling on your cargo, so your doors aren't going to rust, peel, or delaminate. Okay. So, this is the seal. This is kind of this area here is part of what makes this so effective. Yes. for a seal, a tight seal against the weather and elements and it's not dripping on the packages. Correct. Break that down for me if you wouldn't mind me. Yeah. So, basically, I'll just take this roller out. So, we use a 2-in nylon stainless roller and the bearing is stainless so you're not going to rust. Okay. Okay. So, here you have your internal hinge mechanism. Bottom panel aluminum extrusion and aluminum reinforcements throughout. So, you have these channels here that allow for the water to penetrate down the sides. the um where's the channel? Which ones? So, here's here are your channels here. So, if the if the water gets inside of there, it's really designed to move it out. That's right. But I mean, how could it even get inside there? Isn't that pretty much sealed? Yeah. So, it's sealed. So, we have kind of a sealant on the outside. So, it's a 7.5R value ecoam. And um so, it doesn't retain the moisture. It's not going to get heavier over time. It's about 113 lbs less weight than your traditional door. So, it's lighter, too. Oh, yeah. So, you're not going to hurt your back when you're opening and closing 20 times a day. Okay. And this is by McLaren. McLaren doors. All right. And there's their information right there. Thank you, Melanie. Thank you, Warren. What are we looking at? We're looking at Dino Wipes, our heavy duty hand and tool cleaning wipe. We offer a dual textured scrubby version, Dino Wipes Muscle, and our original towel here. Now, we're going to use in this little demo here, our smooth towel because it's about the solution in the product, not the towel. What is this you're scrubbing right there? So, this is spray paint from yesterday. So, this is your typical Rustoleum gloss black spray paint. Now, I'm not working very hard at this. It's the solution that we just put down that's cutting through that spray paint. Okay. Now, this is some nail polish. Another enamel type finish. So, did you put that on yesterday, too? Also yesterday. Okay. This one's had time to dry. It's had plenty of time to cure and dry. You know, there's no It's not coming off my finger or anything. You know, it's really on there. Sharpie. This was put on here this morning. Okay. Starts lifting that right into solution. And this won't harm your paint. This won't harm the baked-on finishes. It'll take the latex paint off your home wall, but it's not going to take the paint off your truck. Okay. Now, you're probably wondering, "Okay, it's taking off spray paint, Sharpie, open gear grease, this tacky grease here, like it's nothing." Yeah. What's it doing to my hands? It's totally safe on the hands. We put four different skin conditioners in there. Uh, so it's protecting the hands. I can do this all day, no issues. And this is called Dino Wipes. There's 120 towels in a tub for the smooth product. And there's 80 towels of the Dino Wipes muscle in a tub. Awesome. Thank you. Okay. All right, guys. I'm in the market for a new toolbox and I ran into these guys and you actually are the manufacturers of them. We do. We uh manufacture our tool boxes. Yep. So it's DZ, right? American made. Yep. Right there in De Mo, Iowa. Oh crap. Okay. So this is an example, but this is like Tell me about this. Yeah. So this is our Poly series. This is for the everyday uh you know garage camping. So you can get our utility chest 37 in. We also have a larger one down here. 35 in. a larger one down here at the 37. So, these are nice to throw in the back of your pickup, back of your SUV or the garage. Get that. Now, as we go over here, this these are the the truck work boxes that guys are maybe more thinking along the lines, right? Yeah. So, we have a ton of options in our red series. Our red series toolbox is a 056 aluminum. Uh a very good price point. We have many options from full size crossover, deep uh different uh handles. So, we got the pull handle, we have paddle handle, uh low profile, we have it in gloss black, textured black, and just your bright tread aluminum. Uh, and once again, this is a 056 aluminum. They do run on shocks. We also have midsize for the midsize trucks as well. And you got a heavy duty unit. Yes. And we also have our blue series, which is a nice step up. This is really contractor grade construction. This is a 0072 uh aluminum here. This does have the uh push button, bump button. So, you know, if your hands are full, you can bump into that with your shoulder. It's you can open that. Nice. Yep. Nice. How does it compare to Weather Guard? You know, we like we we like to think our box is always great. Okay. I love it. That's an answer without answering directly. I love it. Smart. D uh Dallas, how do guys find out more information? Uh you can go to dz.com for more information. dz.com. All right. Awesome. Thank you, sir. Hey, thank you guys. I'm with Jeff and I've had more than one catalytic converter stolen. And where my son went to school, they posted in the parking lot that thieves were coming through during the day while the kids had their cars parked in the school parking lot stealing catalytic converters. That's how bad it is in Minnesota. Okay. Yep. So, you actually have come up with a way you call it the cat wrap. Tell me about this. Sure. So, we developed the cat wrap uh actually for the United States Postal Service years ago. needed to be flexible to work in a variety of different vehicles. Um, you mentioned the school. Um, tell me about this. So, is this one cable then? You actually get two cables 17 1/2 ft each. So, it looks like we just wrapped the cat with cable, but the reality is it's this innovative plate system right here that you run the cable through 11 different channels. Once you run the cable through up to two times through each one, you tighten that down. It creates 20 individual loops. So, if a thief cuts one of these, they can't just unravel it. They're going to be down there for a long time spending a lot of time, energy, making noise, making a mess, and most often not, they just move right along. Perfect. Now, all you need is an integrated switch, which activates like a blue dye bomb. So, when they're down there trying to cut that off, they get a glitter bomb to the face. That sounds perfect, right? But knowing my luck, I'd be down there probably tightening something up and hit the wrong thing and I'd have a glitter bomb to the face. But what do you call this thing? This is called the cat rap. But what's the name of your company? Uh popping uh.net. Pop and lock. Like like you're going to rap. Can you do a little popping and locking? I can do a little popping unlocking. Come on, Jeff. You got to get into it. Pop and lock. Pop lock.net.net. All right, let's keep the show rolling. Great. Thank you, Daniel. What are we looking at with this one now? Looking for a loading ramp made in Sweden. Pretty good. We're going to unfold it. Take it down. Let the wheels do the work for you easily. And now I'm going to unfold again. Just leave it up. Is it spring assist? Spring assist with a dragging function who helps you to lift it. Oh, so it's not spring assist, it's a hydraulic assist. So you see in the position like this, the weight of the ramp is 0 kilos. You can just push with your finger and it goes in by itself. And it says a universal fit, no drill. Tell me about that. Fits into all vans here in Ford Transit, Brew Master, Sprinters, Nissans, all all van. We have a no drill solution like an adapter plate. It's a special made for all for Transit, uh, ProMaster. What you do, you're using the the loading rings in the van to attach the plate and then you attach the the ramp to the plate. Perfect. You don't need to drill anything. Where do you guys find this at? Website. Website. Felramp.com. Felramp.com. F E A L. F E for iron. A L for aluminum. What does a unit like that go for? So MSRP is right around $3,000. Okay. So, super simple, super easy, and it's in stock here in the US, ready to ship within a couple days. So, thank you, sir. Appreciate that. Thank you. And we've got cool stuff like lift, garage lifts, some quad axle dump trucks, all blinged out. That's a Western Star. Never never owned one of those. Can't tell you a whole lot about them, but for you guys that have driven them, I would love to hear your two cents. Are they good? Are they bad? Let me know in the comments down below. What do you think a western stuff? Where do you Let's keep the show rolling. See what else new we can find. And what are we looking at with this now? So, what is this? Bolt locks. It's a line of locks that works with the vehicle key. So, first time you get your lock, take your truck key, put in the lock, turn it once, and the lock learns your key right then and there. So now that one truck key can open all of your locks, whether receiver locks, I have pad locks, this is our off vehicle coupler lock. All can work with that one truck key. That's insane. I have never seen anything like this. Has this been around before? It's been around for a while now. So we've been doing So we're part our parent company Strat. We make automotive locks and keys for GM, Ford, and Chrysler. We actually split off with bricks and strat about 30 years ago. And so about 15 years or so, 15 20 years ago, we came up with this idea just trying to make everyone's life easier because what key are you never going to lose? You're not going to lose that truck key. So now that one key, you'll have to keep that. You're just going to lock it in your truck. When you leave your dog in the truck and she hits the lock on the door and you're sitting there going, "Hit it again. Hit it again." All right. It's called Bolt. Bolt. Yep. OT. Yep. Bolt.com. Yes. boltlock.com. All right. Thank you, sir. No problem. Bart, what are we looking at? We're here at the work truck showing off our TT lift gate. It's made to go on the rear of the truck. Actually put it on the side here just for demo purposes, but it's made to go onto the rear of a pickup truck. Locks it in place there. Barra platform so you can see through it. A little more aerodynamics for you. It's galvanized option so we don't have to deal with rust issues and uh this is what we got here. Power up, gravity down. Power down. Power down, too. Yep. It's so quiet on the power down. Where do guys find out what does a unit like this go for and where do guys find out more information on them part? Uh you can visit us at teamtailgates.com. Uh we sell through a distributor network across the country. Uh so contact us for more info. And what's that website? t-mentailgates.com. That's t h i e m- an tailgates.com. Correct. Thank you. All right. Thank you. All right. It's a new kind of cargo that's based on like seat belt technology. Is that right? That's correct. So, it's called the cargo buckle. So, what you do, it's a ladder rack system. It's as simple as putting it in the upright position. That's what we call the free spool position. The web comes in and out of the retractor as you can see here. So you can simply put it over or you can put it in a middle position. Take out as much web as you need. Put it in the middle position to lock it. You can toss it over. Grab it from the other side. And once you have it secured, put it back in the upright position. Lock it in place here. And then it's as simple as ratcheting it a few times until it's nice and tight. And then you lock it down in position. Then you're good to go. And when you get to your destination, you're ready to take your ladders or whatever you're hauling off of your rack. Simply put back in the upright position, take it out of the bracket. And then it's as simple as retracting it back in and storing it. Just like that. And then you actually have a flush mount system based on the same technology. Yes. Same cargo buckle technology. This is our flush mount. Um, this is really geared towards like your enclosed trailers where you're pulling vehicles in and out of the trailer. Um, it's as simple as pulling up this flap here, dropping this back down once you give it a little slack, just so it fits nice and tight in there, and then dropping it down like that. And then you can drive your vehicles or UTVs or whatever you're hauling into your enclosed trailer. And when you get it in there and you're ready to secure it, just open the flap. It presents itself. Put the handle in the upright position so you can reclose the flap and then you're good to go once you get your vehicle tied down in the trailer. And it's by cargo buckle. By cargo buckle. That's correct. Thank you, sir. imet.com. Thank you. Thank you. What was the website one more time? im…
