‘Hidden’mountingbrackets

ROADMASTER XL, MX and EZ Twistlock

series mounting brackets have detach-

able extensions which are easily removed

when the vehicle is not being towed.

NOUNSIGHTLYSTEELHANGING

OFFTHEFRONTOFYOURCAR!

• They’re virtually invisible — improved

aesthetics.

• Easy to install — ROADMASTER brack-

ets use existing attachment points on

the vehicle’s undercarriage.

• Through-the-grille installation — no scraping brackets in dips or curbs.

• Easy to remove — converts from towed car to road car in seconds!

Whyareour

brackets rated #1?

• Every bracket design is subjected to computer-simulated “Finite Elemental Analysis” to ensure

structural integrity.

• Every mounting bracket is custom-made to fit a specific vehicle or range of vehicles, and to attach at

logical points along the frame or undercarriage, for maximum strength and a quick, easy

installation.

• Every new bracket (not just a few) in the ROADMASTER XL, MX and EZ Twistlock series comes with

detachable extensions, which are easily removed when the car isn’t being towed — no unsightly

steel hanging off the front of your car!

• Every bracket is powder coated. In this process, charged particles of pigment are baked into the

surface of the bracket. The particles fuse to the metal and form a lustrous, uniform and extremely

durable finish.

• ROADMASTER is quick to market brackets for new vehicles, and has the widest selection — currently,

more than 1,000 different mounting brackets (far more than any other company) — which fit more

than 2,000 different years, makes and models.

Whatis“FEA?”

ROADMASTER was the first towing products manufacturer to use computerized stress testing on mount-

ing brackets. The testing method is called “FEA,” which stands for “Finite Elemental Analysis.”

If that sounds complicated, that’s because it is — FEA is the

same method that NASA scientists use to test their new designs.

The automotive and biomedical industries, among others, also

use finite elemental analysis.

Every FEA design is displayed as a full-scale, three-dimensional

object, which engineers can rotate and study on the screen as

they apply thousands of pounds of force across the load-bearing

components. Stress in the steel is pinpointed, and the design is

manipulated to remove it. The result is an optimized design, in

both materials and components, which has been tested and verified at maximum linear strain.

ROADMASTER uses computerized stress testing to ensure the structural integrity and longevity of our

brackets — and to ensure the safety of your customers.

Now you see ‘em…

…now you don’t!
