Ken-Tool says its new drain pan is designed to improve workplace safety.
Ken-Tool Corp. has introduced the 30600 Professional Super Single Axle Drain Pan. The company says the new drain pan prevents gear oil and grease drips and spills on wheels and tires as well as on shop floors when servicing the axles of trucks and trailers.
Made in the U.S.A. from lightweight, high density polyethylene (HDPE), the axle drain pan can be attached to the wheel using two or three lug studs with finger-tightened nuts. The pan is contoured to rest flat with the sides gripping the wheel's drop-center.
The company says the pan fits most 22.5- and 24.5-inch, 10-hole hub or stud-piloted steel or alloy super single, wide-base and dual wheels.
The pan has a pair of self-draining shelves to place hub covers, bearings, retainers, seals and hub or axle nuts. The high-capacity pan (124 ounces/3.66 liters) has two drip-proof drain spouts.
The HDPE plastic resists heat and warping. Deep sides and flat bottom prevent accidental spills.
