SUMNER Wash., — Torklift International now makes the strongest receiver hitch available for half-ton trucks.
The SuperHitch Hero is rated at 1,500 pounds tongue weight and 15,000 pounds pull when used with weight distribution.
“It’s a dual receiver system which means a couple things,” said Torklift International General Manager Jay Taylor. “It can be used with a dual extension and allows customers to haul in the top receiver and tow in the bottom receiver at the same time.”
Most applications do not require drilling because they attach to the truck frame using pre-drilled holes done at the factory. There are fits for Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge and Toyota.

The “new kid on the block” has some strong muscle behind it. Autographics Toolbox, a software solution for window film and paint protection film (PPF) patterns, as well as vehicle templates, graphics and wraps, is powered by the leading software for signmaking, SAi Flexi™, a long-standing staple in the sign industry.

Harnessing the design capabilities of SAi Flexi™, Autographics Toolbox allows users to access thousands of patterns with a “buy once, own forever” pricing model, changing the dynamics in the window tint and paint protection film industries. “We feel the market is ready for a superior pattern system that opens up opportunities for more profits and more business”, said Steve Ball, Automotive Products Manager. “Autographics Toolbox offers a cost-effective solution and flexibility for restyling shops.”

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Champion Drag Racer Holly Clarke is attending SEMA with her newest sponsor Torklift International.
On Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 11:30 a.m. Clarke is available for interview during her press conference located in Media Center N110.
Clarke caught the racing bug at an early age.
“My first race, I was 8 years old,” she said. “I was up at about four or five in the morning in my parents room trying to wake my dad because I couldn’t control my excitement. I was the slowest car and I was out first round but I hardly cared. I had waited for what felt like forever I was just thrilled to go down the track.”
Twelve years later, the British Columbia native has several championships under her belt including six annual championships in a row.
Clarke races a 1968 Chevy Nova with a 468 big block engine. Her fastest documented time in the dragster is 10.15 seconds but the chassis is certified at 8.5 seconds for a quarter mile.
