Trucktools has everything you need to get the job done

Servicing truck workshops right across the country, Trucktools is fully Australian owned and operated.

Having been in business for close to 25 years, Trucktools knows the job and knows it well.

As the name suggests, the company provides all the tools you need to work on your truck/s – whether it be for maintenance or repairs.

It’s range of products continues to grow and expand, with two warehouses fully stocked with truck specialty tools and equipment, all available to order online – and shipped Australia-wide.

For those working in truck or trailer workshops, Trucktools can supply all the tools you need to get the job done.

Trucktools stocks a broad range of brands. Whether it be truck engine tools, truck filter tools, truck injector/fuel line tools, truck brake/steering/suspension tools, truck hub pullers and axle tools, truck workshop equipment, truck axle sockets, truck wheel service tools, gear/bearing pullers/seal drivers, hand tools, torque wrenchers, or truck diagnostic tools – Trucktools has you covered.

It stocks its own brand of truck tools, as well as products from a wide range of other manufacturers.

Among the latest product offerings in the portfolio is Trucktools’ heavy-duty King Pin Press, which enables you to remove kingpins in just minutes with relative ease and efficiency.

Despite being able to generate 46,000 lbs of force, this innovative piece of equipment is lightweight, weighing just 30 lbs.

The King Pin Press has been engineered for use with up to a 1” impact tool and features anti-torque arms to prevent twisting of the main body while under extreme force.

This product was designed with a goal in mind: to build the best king pin press possible, that requires only one operator in order to use it.

Trucktools has also optimised the end plates, manufacturing them out of high-grade steel and into diamond shapes – drastically reducing the overall mass of the tool. Coming in at 75 per cent lighter than its closest competitor, this clever design results in huge savings in the tool’s overall weight.

Trucktools’ King Pin Press includes three different forcing screw options, giving you the ability to service everything from 3/4 ton pick-ups through to Class 8 trucks.

A shortened 1 1/4” forcing screw allows you to access kingpins from the hardest to reach places and tightest wheel wells – even on buses. Trucktools has also included its three most popular tie rod end removers: 7/8”, 3/4”, and 20mm.

This King Pin Press is suitable for use on a wide range of vehicles, including brands like Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner, Mack, Volvo, Isuzu NPR, Ram 3500/5500, Chevrolet 3500/5500 and Ford F-350/550 – and works with both straight and tapered kingpins from 7/8” to 2 5/32.

Optionally, you can service Isuzu NPR & GMC/Chevrolet W-series trucks with the 90151 adapter; and can also remove 2 1/2” King Pins with the 90153 Clearance Plate Adapter.

Trucktools has become a valued supplier to heavy duty diesel mechanics along with fleet service workshops across Australia, as well as overseas.

Its growing customer base extends across the country, as well as to other countries, including New Zealand, Fiji and Papua New Guinea.

To save its customers time, the easy-to-use online store means workshops and mechanics can order what they need, for timely dispatch.

But at the same time, Trucktools also understands not everyone wants to order online, so the team can also assist customers over the phone.

The warehouse is strategically located just 1km off the Princes Highway, with truck access available for all carriers who collect on a daily basis.

Trucktools also recently took over the adjacent warehouse next door, which doubled its previous footprint, allowing it to increase its product offering even further.
