Weight-Mate Features

All Weather Traction Device Features

The Weight-Mate All Weather Traction device is the perfect solution to add weight to the bed of your pick up truck! Replace messy sandbags and potentially dangerous cinder blocks with the low profile, durable weight-mates! Adds a substantial amount of weight directly over the rear axle of your pick up truck, keeping you on the road when inclement weather conditions exisist. 6' foot versions add as much as 600 pounds directly over the rear axle of your truck, increasing traction. Due to the nature of the rotational molding process, the Weight-Mates perform best when frozen, as the durable and rugged PE construction is tested to -40° and up to 160° (F). Even when Frozen, top load the Weight-Mates with your tools, equipment and even your motorcycle if so desired!

Easy to install!

The Weight-Mates are simple to install. Once your measurements are confirmed and your tanks arrive, simply place the tanks in the back of the truck. Make sure that the drain valves are closed. Open the fill caps on top and fill with water. Once tanks are near full, shut water off, replace threaded fill cap on top of Weight-Mates.
