Minimizer releases Slick Plate

Minimizer‘s new Slick Plate promises to get rid of grease. Made of poly plastic, the newest maintenance line product, the Slick Plate, removes the need for grease and prolongs the life of the fifth wheel. Less friction also makes for easier handling and maneuverability, the company explained.

“I wish they would’ve had this when my father was a truck driver, because every time he’d come home on the weekends, I had to clean the grease off everything!” Minimizer Chief Executive Officer Craig Kruckeberg said. “The grease gets everywhere, but with our new Slick Plate, there’s no need for it.”

The Slick Plate comes with all necessary hardware, so there’s no welding to secure it to the fifth wheel. It also comes with a five-year warranty. For more details, be sure to watch the video above.
