The medium-duty hydraulic brake parts include: hardware kits; disc pads and shoes; drums and rotors; calipers and wheel cylinders; master cylinders and power boosters; and brake hoses and brake lines.

"Based on what our customers have been requesting from their #1 air brake parts supplier, we've added plenty of beef to our medium-duty lineup, including a full selection of Euclid(R), Meritor(R) and all-makes hydraulic brake parts," stated Joe Mejaly, vice president and general manager, Commercial Vehicle Aftermarket. "From calipers and linings to hydraulic cylinders and more, we've added everything our customers need for their medium-duty vehicles - from Class 2 up through Class 7 - to our already strong Class 8 lineup."

"We offer a unique competitive edge and are very excited to provide the benefits to our customers. Benefits like easy-to-use, industry-recognized part numbers, the most updated catalog dedicated to the medium-duty hydraulic braked vehicle and a highly trained technical and sales staff," added Mejaly.

This additional coverage of over 400 new part numbers has been added to the current hydraulic brake program, covering the requirements of current and previous hydraulically-braked vehicles. Revised editions of the catalogs, PB99127 (Meritor) and 200B (Euclid), will be available in the next 30 days, with a completely updated, easy-to-use application section, new line art, new product photographs and exploded views, as well as an updated competitive cross-reference.
