All segments were down, although off-road motorcycle sales were up very slightly (0.4%) from Q1 of 2012. Cool weather continuing into Spring has been blamed for the slide.

Dual-sport motorcycle sales were down 15% in the quarter and street bike sales also were down 16%. Scooter sales took the biggest hit, down nearly 35% from Q1 of 2012.

PRO Series Tire Changers at Clark Heintz Tools & Equipment LLC

We receive many requests for used tire equipment. Used tire changers and balancers easily cost $1,000 or more and are not always available; and, they are usually traded in for a reason. We often hear, ” I don’t do that many tires in a week but I need to offer tire service.”

For sure, the demand for products at that price level outweighs the supply by far. Our answer was to find a supplier that built a quality tire changer and wheel balancer with a reasonable price. After 15 months of research we were able to find the right products. We now have dozens of machines out in the field with great success.

Although imported, it is possible to combine good quality with an affordable price, and– at the same time– offer new products instead of used for just a fraction more than used pricing. Why not buy new and receive a 1 year warranty?

We offer our PRO line of automatic Tire Changers from $1049.00 as well as Wheel Balancers from $1,149- please take the time to view these products, each product is detailed completely with features and benefits as well as related items.

Before any product is delivered it is assembled and tested at our facility, then repackaged and shipped. We care deeply about quality control and customer satisfaction. We also employ a full time technical expert, so we not only sell, but service if necessary and are eager to answer any technical questions you might have.

We have a full inventory of parts available if ever parts are needed. We have invested fully in the products we sell and as with each of our products we not only know how to operate, service and sell them we welcome your questions.

Why buy used, buy new, receive a 1 year warranty, technical support and complete service for a couple of bucks more.

Our next batch of PRO 1200 motorcycle lifts are slated to arrive on May 10th. We are currently out of stock, but offering a special deal to those who are interested in reserving a lift.

We have been selling these lifts like crazy, and – due to popular demand- have decided set up an automatic lift shipment every 45 days, in order to keep up with the growing demand. We hope this will resolve any gaps in inventory in the future.

We’d also like to extend an offer to those of you in the market for one of these lifts. From now until May 10, place an order for a lift and receive a Roller Plate and Service Jack for an additional low price of $79.95.

The service jack is priced at $89.95. The roller plate is priced at $59. Together they are regularly priced at $148.95. This is a savings of $69.

The PRO 1000 service jack accessorizes motorcycle and ATV lifts. It includes 2 adjustable locking saddle adapters; 2 rubber coated pads; a welded base plate on each side for stability; steel rollers, and it includes hand crank and safety lock pin.

The Roller Plate has been modified to be 7″ wide, and is now able to accept larger rear wheels.

The PRO 1200 Motorcycle Lift Package Includes a 1,200 lb capacity lift + 1 yr Warranty, Front Extension (Adjustable from 84″ to 97″ or 110″), Loading Ramp, Pullout / Drop Through for Rear Tire Change, Wheel Vise, Pneumatic Foot Pedal, and Lift Height is 32.5? Full Rise.

Please note: This special offer is not listed on the PRO 1200 motorcycle lift product pages.  Qualify for this special offer by calling Clark and reserving a lift ahead of time. He can be reached at 603-234-2612.

Quickloader Tie Down Straps – 2 Pack is now offered for $39.90, discounted from Reg. Price of $43.90.

Are you wishing you had an easy way to tie down vehicles to your truck? We wanted to let you know about the lastest product we’ve added to our inventory. We are now working with Quickloader, an innovative company who has patented the versatile and efficient Quickloader tie down ratchets/straps. These highly useful straps are for tying down a number of vehicles to your truck during transport, including motorcycles, boats, quads, tall cargo, building materials and power equipment. These straps are retractable, making your tie down work efficient and clean.

“Quickloader is the first retractable tie down ratchet on the market that has successfully retained the benefits of the traditional two piece tie-down ratchet, and combined those benefits with a spring loaded, easy-to-use roll up mechanism.”

Compared to Traditional 2 Piece Ratchets

1. Easier to use than the traditional 2 piece ratchet. Lower threshold for putting on that extra strap.

2. Reduces time spent on loading and unloading.

3. Longer life cycle; Quickloader automatically rolls up when in resting position, protecting the webbing from dirt and dust. No loose ends flap in the wind and wear out.

Compared to other Retractable Ratchets

1. Improved, with familiarity retained. Same locking mechanism and webbing as traditional ratchet.

2. Unbeatable versatility – design allows for longer webbing and greater strength compared to other new innovations. Not just a “moving ATV tools,” or a “moving furniture tool” – it is BOTH!

3. Longer Life Cycle – Roll up mechanism makes use of high quality spring steel to secure long life without degradation.

We are carrying 4 different Quickloader ratchet straps; each one carries different load weights. As a heads up, we will also be setting up some cool new PRO 1200 motorcycle lift packages to include the quickloader straps; stay tuned!
