WEST LEBANON, N.H. – Oct. 14, 2026 – The Pro-Cut™ Mule™ Tire Trolley has been awarded a 2026 Pro Tool Innovation Award (PTIA) for excellence in innovation and performance.
“We are honored to receive a prestigious Pro Tool Innovation Award for the Mule Tire Trolley, an innovative and practical solution that improves productivity and performance in the shop,” said Bruce Prince, national sales manager, North America for Pro-Cut. “The Mule helps technicians move heavy wheel assemblies with greater speed, safety and efficiency, boosting productivity while reducing the physical strain of everyday tire service.”
The Pro-Cut Mule tire trolley is designed to improve productivity and performance in the shop. The quick and effortless wheel removal and installation process increases shop efficiency and its ergonomic design helps prevent back strain and reduce injuries.
The Mule is powered by a simple hydraulic foot pump and requires no electricity, air hoses or batteries. Using the Mule is as simple as sliding the support arms under the wheel, removing the lug nuts and rolling the wheel assembly away. Reinstallation is equally effortless as technicians can simply position the wheel on the hub, adjust the height and rotate the assembly into alignment.
“Taking wheels on and off lifted vehicles can be a physically demanding job,” said Prince. “The Mule takes much of the physical effort out of wheel removal, helping technicians get the job done with less strain and greater efficiency. That means less wear and tear on technicians, improved productivity and a better work experience, which can help shops retain good people. And when every square foot of shop space matters, the Mule’s nesting design is another advantage. Multiple Mules can stack together like shopping carts, taking up far less storage space when they are not in use.”
Each year the Pro Tool Innovation Awards are judged by a panel of industry professionals who handle and use hundreds of new tools each year. From personal use on the job site to exposure to tools at media events and industry trade shows, the PTIA team can spot innovation a mile away. The 2026 Pro Tool Innovation Awards saw nearly 400 entries from more than 100 manufacturers who presented new and innovative products in over a dozen categories.
