Tool Storage

Storage boxes can now be positioned at any point in a truck bed with the new Champion Roller Box Cargo Management System. The system features a roller bearing design that rides inside a full-length aluminum extruded rail. This allows users to move the truck box from the cab to the tailgate easily for better accessibility. Control knobs secure the box's position, and the system locks with a key.

Hunter's new Inflation Station, available on newly purchased, select Hunter RX scissor lifts, speeds service and ensures more accurate alignments by automatically setting the correct pre-selected tire pressure for each wheel simultaneously. With Inflation Station, the technician simply sets the recommended tire pressure at the lift console or the alignment console (when in use with new HS401 HawkEye alignment systems) and attaches an air hose mounted to the lift at each wheel to automatically detect the connection and begin to fill or bleed the wheels as needed.
