Are Your Aftermarket Parts EverTough?
Eaton has launched a new brand of replacement components engineered specifically for the aftermarket. The new lineup, known as EverTough™, provides aftermarket customers with the optimum balance of price and performance to meet their replacement part needs. The initial EverTough component offering is a new line of heavy-duty clutches. To ensure the new EverTough clutches have reliability and durability at a competitive aftermarket price, Eaton has designed the clutch with an aftermarket-specific facing, a release system with standard dual zerk fittings, and dampeners to meet the torsional vibration needs of the aftermarket.

Maintaining roughly 16,000 lane miles of road surface in a state that can see as much as 200 inches of snow annually is no small task. But that’s exactly what the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) does with a fleet of 3,000+ trucks. When the WYDOT fleet director needed to replace nearly three dozen snow plows within his fleet, he decided to upgrade from Eaton’s AutoShift automated transmission series to its latest generation of UltraShift PLUS automated transmissions.The result: improved efficiency and reliability, driver recruitment and performance.
