Weight-Mates are all-weather traction devices easily installed in the bed of a pick-up truck between the two rear wheel wells. The Weight-Mates tanks are filled with water and add weight directly over the vehicle's rear axle, drastically improving traction during severe weather conditions like ice, snow, sleet, rain, or even in loose surface conditions like sand or gravel. The durable construction ensures the tanks will not crack or break in freezing temperatures, and the low profile design, with just a 6" height, means the truck can still be loaded with tools, equipment, and more. Weight-Mates are easily drained and removed for storage when not in use, replacing messy, cumbersome sandbags and dangerous cinder blocks. Note: The drain plug must be secure before filling the tank. To avoid distorting the shape of the tanks when the water freezes, the tanks should not be filled to 100% capacity. A small amount of antifreeze can be added to keep the water from freezing, but it will produce a sloshing effect that may be undesirable.
