Why "Associate" yourself with
a huge Caster Conglomerate?

We have added several items to our already comprehensive NSF listings. The new items include:

Trio Pines posted its best sales ever for the month of March, breaking all records and creating talk of a ticker-tape parade through the streets of La Mirada, California. The local government is not as enthusiastic about that, however, and so we'll celebrate quietly, giving all employees an extra five minutes on their lunch hour for the month of April.

And, no, this is not an April Fool's joke. Okay, the parade thing is sort of made up, and the extra five minute lunch hour is just weird, but the sales were real. The numbers don't lie.

For the record, our April First joke was that we hired Danica Patrick as the official Trio Pines spokesperson. Hey it was fun to think about . . .

December 2007

Jim Moran has been promoted to the position of Vice President of National Sales. Jim joined Trio Pines in December 2006 after more than 30 years experience with Jarvis Caster.

September 2007

A new WorkStation caster has made its way to our product line -- the TP9520. You may have spied it in the catalog, and it's even better in person.

Featuring a 2" high-capacity MC Nylon wheel, double ball bearing raceway and a low-profile design, the Sidekick gets its name from the attachable adjustable leg that brings stability to applications where you need to roll it into place and then it sits for a long time. A flat-black finish is the final nice touch.

August 2007

We threatened it before, and now we've followed-through. X-Stems (not to be confused with X-Men) are now in stock.

They are expandable stem casters with a rubber applicator (a.k.a. adaptor) that fits into tubing of various sizes.

All three series (TP3600, TP5000, TP5200) and all sizes now in stock at all locations.

May 16, 2007

We are pleased to announce the addition of a sparkly-new caster that truly shines -- the BlackJack.

The BlackJack Caster is a 5" total lock with an all-black Mirage wheel, precision wheel bearings, thread guards, and bright brass plating.

May 11, 2007

Trio Pines announces the introduction of new Center Bearing (CB) wheels for the PLY Polyurethane and MIR Mirage rubber wheels.

The Center Bearing is a precision ball bearing mounted in the center of the bore, offering smooth and quiet rolling to a couple of popular wheels that offer the best in floor protection.

CB wheels feature thread guards as standard equipment, offering even more protection as they help threads and other debris from jamming up the wheel bearing.

May 7, 2007

The three (count 'em -- 3!) Trio Pines toll-free telephone numbers are now available to Canada and Puerto Rico, as well as all 50 states. If you want to give us a call -- go ahead. It's on us!

May 2, 2007

Trio Pines is getting ready to debut the new line of X-Stem Casters. What are X-Stems? They are also known as Expanding Stems -- so we called them X-Stems -- and we'll offer them in three flavors: TP3600, TP5000 and TP5200 Series.
