Minimizer introduces Trailer Slick Plate, Tool Caddy

Minimizer has introduced two new products—the Trailer Slick Plate and the Tool Caddy.

The Trailer Slick Plate is a self-lubricating polymer plate that attaches to a trailer’s upper coupler. The result, according to Minimizer, is easier maintenance, no need for messy grease and fewer issues with coupling tractors and trailers.

“The Trailer Slick Plate is an excellent addition to our line,” Craig Kruckeberg, chief executive officer and chief visionary of Minimizer, said. “Nobody wants to have to grease the upper coupler plate, and with this product, you don’t have to. If you drop-and-hook often, then this is the product for you.”

The Tool Caddy attaches to the tire, creating a space to store up to 100 lbs of tools and gear. It is designed to fit three applications: standard tires from 245 to 295, Super Single tires, and flatbed trailers.

“The Tool Caddy works really well if your truck breaks down and you’re forced to fix it roadside. It’s also great in repair shops,” Kruckeberg said.
