Snowplow springs – a McAllister Specialty item

Filed under: News — Mike Radford @ 3:31 pm

Winter has definitely arrived with its wicked force again this year, and if recent history has taught us anything it is the fact that the weather is becoming more harsh and cold, and roads are treacherous in so many parts of the US and Canada.

McAllister Industries specializes in the production of Heavy Duty Snowplow Springs, produced from specialty steel to meet the demands of the even the coldest temperatures.   We produce and stock some types of snowplow springs, but also will assist with designing and producing springs just for you. 



Contact us today and ask how we can help you.

Winter is here…do not risk running out of stock.  Check your inventory now, and place your orders with our sales staff.

McAllister introduces QR Codes for ‘Quick Response’

Filed under: News,Promotions,Technical — Mike Radford @ 1:01 pm

 

Are you familiar with QR Codes?

You have probably seen these quirky little square diagrams recently and been unaware of what they actually do.  I will admit that I was definitely among the ‘uninformed’ myself until we introduced these QR Codes at McAllister Industries.

QR codes are a kind of two dimensional matrix barcode that need special QR barcode readers.  The latest camera phones are also able to decode them.  QR Codes have started being more commonly used and are likely to become even more popular in the near future because they offer more advantages than linear barcodes and their capacity to store more data makes them more sought after.

QR codes can be read anytime, anywhere with mobile phones, with multiple uses of these codes making it possible to visit websites, read text and view images, send emails and even dial telephone numbers without having to type anything.

McAllister Industries has developed QR codes for quick access to our websites, and to view our You-Tube channel.

Grab your phone, scan the QR Codes above, and check out how quickly you can access additional pages and information regarding McAllister Industries and our products and services.

Contact our friendly sales staff if you have any questions.

McAllister Industries – your Heat Treating Specialists

Filed under: News,Promotions — Mike Radford @ 1:38 pm

 

One of the services we perform, and perhaps most proud of, is Heat Treating material for customers who are stuck.  It’s a great feeling to help a valued customer when they really need us.

Recently  we  had the opportunityto anneal some pieces for a local customer who usually drops off the material in his car.  This time the parts were too large for his vehicle, so we simply offered to send our truck to pick them up.  Good communication and relations with this customer got his material back to him, still warm, and ready for when he needed it.

Another customer had a large (5,000 lbs) unwieldy shaped fabrication that had to be stress relieved with some very tight temperature restrictions.  And he had to have it back TOMORROW. 

What could we do?  Another minor miracle was in order.  We shuffled a bunch of work around and rescheduled as necessary.  A couple of guys enjoyed a few hours of overtime and before you know it, the piece was ready in good time.  The customer was very happy and we were very happy to help him.

When it comes to heat treating services, you can count on us!         

Give us a call and see for yourself.

Filed under: News,Promotions — Mike Radford @ 1:38 pm

We were very surprised and elated to welcome ICE-ROAD Trucker Lisa Kelly to our booth last week at SEMA 2011.

Lisa was attending the show in Las Vegas, and stopped by to check out the latest TUFTRUCK coil kits, and to spend a few minutes chatting with JT, Michael and other guests.

 

If you are not familiar with Lisa Kelly, check out the TV show Ice-Road Truckers.

We still remember the episodes where Lisa impressed everyone driving the large truck in India, forced to deal with many obstacles, heavy traffic, and the treacherous 1 lane cliff-side roads.

Stay tuned for more updates from the SEMA show.

New Video – Installation of TufTruck coil kit

Filed under: News,Promotions — Mike Radford @ 3:15 pm

Earlier this summer I reported that we were recording a video to show how to install our new TTC-1210L lowering kit on the 2009 and up Dodge Ram 1500 pick up.  We finally have the video posted and invite you to watch it.  Click here for our new TTC-1210L Installation video.

The TTC-1210L TufTruck kit is a 2 inch rear lowering kit that comes with 2 coil springs and 2 matching TufTruck shocks.  This kit will give your truck the leveled look instead of the factory nose down stance.

The kit is easy to install, as you will see, and the results are GREAT!
