Vertical Slide-Out Toolboard Upgrade

Handlelok (P/N 1004)

As of November, 2020, our Vertical Slide-Out Toolboards will be getting an innovative heavy-duty upgrade.

P.A.C. has developed a new standard for heavy-duty slide-out toolboards. Our new tandem slide system delivers heavy-duty
performance and low cost without sacrificing quality. 

We doubled-up the slides at the base in a unique weight-distributing design that gives powerful stability and control for heavy loads. 

Form:
The new slide base is made from heavy-duty aluminum.

Fit:
While all other dimensions will remain the same, the base footprint will be 1-1/4” wider, increasing from 3-5/8” to 4-7/8” wide.

Vertical Slide-Out Toolboard Upgrade

Function:
The new design will perform the same functions, but with improved capacity, tracking and stability.

Note: The original version will continue to be available for the next year as we make a full transition. For details, visit us online or contact a P.A.C. Representative.

Message to our Dealers and Distributors

Update 6/5/2020

Regarding Coronavirus and the impact to PAC:

To All PAC Dealers, Distributors and Customers ‐

Thank you for your support of PAC products! Our staff is here to support first responders and our partner during these difficult times.

PAC is rooted in the U.S. fire industry, but our users span several additional industries in over 30 countries. We have several new products and new catalogs for the fire industry as well as the other markets. PAC is very excited for the future!

To date in 2021, our domestic suppliers have become affected by two main challenges: labor and material shortages. This is affecting PAC & all industries across the nation. PAC continues to monitor lead times and quality of our finished products, as well as timely production schedules.

We see continued strong demand ahead – the need for new trucks isn’t going away! We anticipate a strong finish to 2021 and we continue to increase stock for these upcoming orders. If you or your customers have concerns on availability, please call us. As of this writing, few product shortages exist!

As a result of these challenges, all manufacturers are facing elevated costs. Entering the fourth quarter, PAC is projecting some targeted price increases in 2022. More information to come.

As the trade show schedule continues to open up, we’re looking forward to seeing all our customers as accessibility continues to develop.

Greg Young
Senior Administrative Vice President, Performance Advantage Co.

Product Update

Toolok (P/N 1003)

Toolok (P/N 1003-HD)

We have some important news! As of April, 2016, our popular Toolok (P/N 1003), is being discontinued – and replaced with a new and improved Toolok-HD (P/N 1003-HD). While the incremental locking profile remains identical, the mounting base is wider and more
stable – with the mounting holes to the outside rather than in-line. In addition, the handle is redesigned for easier grip and is integral with the lower tool mounting surface providing a more positive grip.

Form

  • The new bracket’s chemical and physical properties are identical. Straps are available in Black, Yellow and Orange

Fit

  • The common-sized grip range remains identical (1/8”-1-1/2” dia.). The distance between mounting holes has been reduced from 2-7/8” to 1-7/8”.

Function

  • The bracket is designed to perform the same functions – but, with improved stability and grip.

If you have any questions about this revision, please give us a call.
