How the Treadlite Broadfork is Made...

About the Treadlite Broadfork Head:

Lightest Broadfork in it's class

Care has been taken to use the highest grade materials from Gr 80 HSLA Steel Tines, ASTM A519 Tubing and Chromoly Tubing (think NASCAR roll cage) we have sourced some of the highest grades available to provide flawless operation for years to come.

"Through Tube" Technology

Provides superior strength as the socketed handle mount is inserted through the tube rather than relying on welds alone.Does not allow moisture build-up in the tube or socket ensuring your handles will remain dry and not rot over time.

Geometric Design

The handle socket that goes through the step tube creates a stronger joint on the Treadlite Broadfork. The socket weld is almost unnecessary unlike other broadforks on the market that could fail over time due to a reliance on welds.

Grade 80 Steel

Provides maximum toughness and corrosion resistance Made from the same steel as our military Humvee replacements

Powder Coat Finish

Protects your tool year after year

Made in America
Cut, welded and painted in Wisconsin

Round Step Tube

Provides a continuous surface on which to apply force at any angle

Tine lengths are true 12" actual length from the step tube
