This durable cargo van and fleet tire was developed for long-lasting treadwear under loaded conditions, and comes complete with Duragen Technology, which provides robust durability and enhanced sidewall protection, the tire manufacturer noted in a press release.

Key features of the Grabber HD Van, according to General Tire, include:

Balanced performance on wet and dry roads;
Dependable stability and handling under loaded conditions; and

Work truck equipment manufacturer Weather Guard has introduced new truck boxes and headache racks. The 2024 Saddle and Lo-Side truck boxes include the one-key Ultralock security feature, which Weather Guard says combines maximum security protection, ability to manage keys to multiple boxes and new visual locking cues. A new red push button lock mechanism lets end-users know at a glance if the box is locked or not—if the red button is popped up, the box is unlocked.
