KalPRO tools, a new sub-brand of Kal Tire, will be available to technicians globally through Haltec / AME International, a leading manufacturer and worldwide distributor of tire service tools.
“We believe it’s our responsibility to make our work around the wheel as safe as possible, so we’ve focused on reinvesting in our teams, the tools they use and the way they work,” said Dan Allan, senior vice president, Kal Tire’s Mining Tire Group. “Our KalPRO tools go such a long way in protecting technicians and we saw this partnership with Haltec and AME as a valuable way to bring those benefits to the entire industry.”
The first tool to be widely available through Haltec’s AME International catalogue will be the KalPRO ValveShield, a heavy-duty magnetic valve housing that prevents rocks and debris from displacing valve stems and causing tire failure. This device, noted Kal Tire, has proven to provide substantial productivity savings on mine sites across numerous regions.
“Our relationship with Haltec spans decades of collaboration and mutual trust,” said Allan. “We look forward to adding more of our KalPRO tools to the Haltec and AME catalogue in months to come.”
