Ken-Tool, a leader in hand tools for the tire service industry, has announced
its latest new product, the #30600 Professional
Super Single Axle Drain Pan. The new drain pan solves the
problem of gear oil and grease drips and spills on wheels and tires, and on
shop floors when servicing the axles of trucks and trailers.
Manufactured
in the U.S.A. from lightweight, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the axle
drain pan can be securely attached to the wheel using two or three lug studs
with finger tightened nuts. The pan is
contoured to rest flat with the sides gripping the wheel’s drop-center. The pan fits most 22.5- and 24.5-inch, 10-hole hub or stud-piloted
steel or alloy super single, wide-base and dual wheels.
The pan
features a pair of self-draining shelves to conveniently place hub covers,
bearings, retainers, seals and hub or axle nuts up out of the way. The high capacity pan (124 fl. oz. /3.66
liters) features two drip-proof drain spouts for easy waste disposal. The HDPE plastic resists heat and warping,
and deep sides and flat bottom prevent accidental spills on the floor or a work
bench.
The Ken-Tool Professional Super Single Axle Drain Pan is designed for workplace safety. The highly visible bright orange color helps
technicians avoid spilling a pan attached to the axle or sitting the floor, and
the tip-resistant design helps keep shop floors slip-free. Additionally, the bright orange color makes it easier to spot oil
contaminants and parts when draining the axle.
Ken-Tool
products are available through leading tire industry supply distributors
worldwide. For more information about
