Martins Industries has released the newly-designed Pickup Tire Xpeditors MPTX-50 and MPTX-100. The former is built to carry up to 50 tires of 17 in. in outer diameter, while the latter can carry up to 100 of them with its overhead section on top of the cab, the company says.
Both models fit most 6.5- and 8-ft. pickup truck beds, including those of the Ford F-150, GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado. The package contains the parts for both bed lengths.
According to the company, the MPTX-50 and MPTX-100 both:
- Have heavy-duty locking systems and hinges that allow doors to open to 270 degrees;
- Use stainless steel clamps to fix the cage to the bed;
- Are made with steel tubes designed to prevent water from leaking in;
- Are covered with UV-resistant powder-coated paint.
Among the changes compared to previous models is also that the steel used is no longer galvanized, the company says.
