New toe bar systems and quick lifts released by MK Technologies

MK Technologies has been busy developing new products for the serious racer.

Parallel string toe bar systems are a popular item at MK Technologies, and the line has been expanded further to include systems for some of the most popular race cars. In addition to kits for formula and street cars, MKT now has toe bar systems specifically designed for the Panoz DP02, Porsche 997, Stohr F-1000, Stohr WF1, Riley DP, Riley-Mazda RX8, and Mazda Miata / MX5.

A new quick lift has also been developed to accommodate race cars with wide nose cones. Dubbed the "Wide Guy", the unit features an ultra-low profile design with an extended reach. It also folds flat for easy storage.

MK Technologies introduces

ZeD is MK Technologies’ new zero-deflection scale pad, the most accurate scale pad on the market.

For years MK Technologies’ top of the line custom scale platform, the MKT5000 has utilized the phenomenal performance and accuracy of custom built zero-deflection scale pads. With the introduction of the ZeD, that same phenomenal performance and accuracy is available as a
stand-alone scale pad.

ZeD scale pads are designed to fit into the scale pockets of existing platforms and are technologically advanced replacements for standard less accurate scale pads.

The ZeD scale pad comes in a standard size: 15” x 15” x 2.5” or it can be custom built to your specs. Maximum load on a standard pad is 1000 lbs. We can build higher capacity pads as an option.

One of the great features of the ZeD is flawless repeatability of measurements regardless of where the tire is positioned on the pad. With conventional scale pads, repeatable results can only be obtained if the vehicle is rolled onto exactly the same spot on the scale pad every time. From the centre of the pad to the very outer edge the ZeD delivers perfect measurements every time.

So just how accurate is the ZeD? With no vertical deflection, the four internal load cells in each pad guarantee a repeatable accuracy of 0.1 lb anywhere on the pad surface.

Why do you need the incredible accuracy of the ZeD? Because in racing the finest of details can make the difference between winning and losing. The Penske Motorsports ALMS team knows how to win races, and Penske relies on MK Technologies ZeD scale pads to help put their Porsche RS Spyders on top of the podium.
