Road Tools More Storage Space for the Holmes DTU
MillerInd.com
Who doesn’t need a place for all their stuff? The proven Holmes Detachable Towing Unit (DTU) is now available with a new toolbox storage option. The versatility of the Holmes DTU has been upgraded with plenty of storage options for attachments, tools, rigging, and safety gear. Available as an option when configuring your new DTU, the toolboxes can also be ordered separately if you’re looking to upgrade your current Holmes DTU Gen II. Along with having the appearance of a traditional heavy-duty wrecker, the toolbox option features six spacious toolboxes (three on each side), with manual locking latches. In addition to the boxes, also included are mounting brackets, junction box and wiring harness, taillights, tool-box lights, and rubber fender flares. “The goal was to keep cost at a minimum while significantly increasing the versatility of the Holmes DTU unit,” noted John Hawkins, Vice President of Heavy-Duty Wrecker Sales for Miller Industries.

TowMate Raises the AirBar

As part of a rapid expansion in product offerings, one of TowMate’s latest items is the LED illuminated AirBar work-zone boundary system. The AirBar system has been on the market in the UK for some time, as the company that invented it, Nuvech, is based there. TowMate and Nuvech have teamed up and TowMate now manufactures the electronic portion of the system in Rogers, Arkansas, and is the exclusive distributor for the U.S. market. This system simply requires power and air in order to deploy the LED illuminated inflatable arrow from the side of a truck. Regardless of bed position or a casualty being hooked up, the Airbar extends outward from the truck and defines a boundary for the work area close to the truck body. Being inflatable, a tow operator can simply walk right through it instead of having to go around and into the lane of traffic to reach the disabled vehicle. When installing the unit, the tower connects the activation wire to the PTO directly for automatic deployment when engaging in a job, and then retracting upon completion.
