• In addition to the common top 20–30 part numbers that they normally stock in their warehouses, have the special ability to make short-run and custom drums for on-highway and off-highway vehicle.

• All their drums that have an X after them are balanced. Their standard 16.5x7 (DuraBrake 16792X) brake drums are 100% balanced. They no longer offer an unbalanced version like other manufacturers.

• All their brake drums have drilled bolt holes. Some manufacturers use cast holes to save on cost but have to make them bigger to ensure they fit. This makes them look cheap and customers do not like this.

• Stackable – They utilize a shipping shelf which allows us to stack drums within each other saving space and making them safer, so they don’t fall off a pallet as easy.
