Steel – the environmental solution

Trax has pioneered the development of environmentally friendly lead-free solutions for the wheel weight market for over 10 years.

Introducing the first non-lead weights in 2000, Trax has continued to build on the company’s innovative approach to design and development. This includes the use of steel as a material for balance weights. Steel is easier to recycle than zinc or composite materials.

With US car makers now using steel lead-free weights, Trax products provide a high quality solution that meets today’s environmental requirements.

Trax balance weight technology

STEEL has been pioneered by Trax as a material for adhesive weights. The company supplies steel balance weights to Original Equipment companies including FORD, HONDA & VOLVO.

As a non-lead material, steel has environmental advantages. It is easy to recycle, and is more dense than other alternatives eg - zinc and composite materials.
