A safer caravan coupling

The Cruisemaster DO35 drop-on 3.5tonne articulating all-terrain pin-type tow coupling was designed for off-road use but it is safer on road too. It makes trailer disconnection or vehicle rollover much less likely where the seal has broken down, or if you have reached the end of the seal. The patented ‘Checklock’ dust cap doubles as a safety check — it will only fit when the lock is activated. For more information, call 0800 TROJAN.

Get a Grip

Made from natural bentonite clay, Grip Clean’s heavy-duty hand soap has additives and olive oil moisturisers that break down oils, grease and dirt while caring for the most sensitive of hard-working hands. It is designed to perform with the top cleaners to remove glues, dyes, and for spot cleaning around the home while being kind enough to be used as a full body wash. Steel and stainless heavy duty soap dispensers are also available. Only from autoserv.co.nz.

Gripmax Classics

New Zealand has a huge following of classic and muscle cars, and Blairs are stockists of authentic Gripmax Classic tyres. Gripmax Classics are available with either white wall or white lettered sidewall designs, depending on size, designed to provide the right finishing touch to the classic vehicle of choice. Available in 14 and 15-inch rim sizes in a variety of widths from narrow to extra wide, Blairs says these tyres not only look good, they also give classic vehicles a super smooth ride. Available from your preferred tyre retailer.

Specialist hoist for EVs

EV powertrains demand different undercar access points to those of conventional vehicles. The Century EV120E — a specialised hydraulic lifting platform for removing and installing EV powertrain — has a 1200kg lifting capacity. The unique design allows powertrains to be separated while mounted to the table with a side slip of ± 50mm on the top platform to accommodate tricky mounting positions. It has a maximum lifting height of 1920mm and a 5° tilt adjustment to accommodate uneven floors. Available in both electric-powered (CEN-EV120A) and pneumatic configurations (CENEV120P). See centurydistributors.co.nz for more information.

LOCK ’EM UP

Never let those turbo flange nuts or sump bolts come loose again — hit them with the JB Weld Threadlocker range. Designed to lock and seal nuts and bolts on all mechanical parts, body assemblies, and in hundreds of other applications where things may come loose due to shock or vibration. The red Perma-Lock high strength threadlocker is for heavy-duty applications — it requires heating and the use of hand tools to separate parts. The blue version is medium strength, suitable for loosening with hand tools alone. Both strengths are available in 6ml, 12ml, and the larger 36ml bottles.

Available from automotive and hardware stores. Contact local stockists for pricing.
