EXTENDOBED

Slide Out Trunk Organizers

In 1987 Extendobed invented the first telescoping truck bed extender and continues to build the most durable slide out system available. Extendobed offers fully customizable trunk organizers, which are designed around specific equipment and individual needs. The organizers reduce back, shoulder, knee, and ankle injuries since workers don’t have to pick up heavy items from awkward angles. Extendobed offers an extension past the taillights to allow access to the entire bed, load capacities up to 3,000 lbs, and an increase in productivity since workers won’t waste time looking through items. It also comes with a 20-year warranty, that means a lower cost of ownership, and allows units to be regularly transferred from vehicle to vehicle.

BOSS BA870

BOSSAIR introduces the new BOSS BA870 for mechanic trucks and tire services professionals. Weighing in at only 270 lbs, it utilizes a single-stage, hydraulic motor-driven 8-cylinder piston that produces up to 70 cfm at 100 psi. The piston compressor offers almost twice the performance but not twice the size. By putting two BOSS V4 piston compressors inline and utilizing the efficiencies of the hydraulic system, the BA870 becomes the air compressor for big jobs that require lots of power. The BA870’s system has two aluminum, single-stage V4 pressure and splash lubricated reciprocating air compressors. The BA870 is fully assembled in the US. The aluminum compressor assembly offers lighter weight and higher thermal efficiency and includes an internal oil pump for increased lubrication. Additionally, routine maintenance is completely accessible without the removal of the canopy.
