Spicer® Optimized Tire Pressure System for Linehaul Applications
Overview
Today, 12 percent of on-highway tires are underinflated, with 9 percent of tire failures being caused by improper tire pressure. When correct tire inflation is automatically maintained in linehaul trucking, the life of tires is extended by up to 15 percent.
Dana effectively meets this need of the linehaul trucking industry with the Spicer® Optimized Tire Pressure Management System. It is designed to give the driver complete control over tire pressures.
Functionality
At the push of a button, the driver can select empty or full load and either highway or emergency mode to accommodate all linehaul trucking operations, eliminating the need for manual tire-pressure checks.
Dana’s tire inflation system for linehaul trucking reduces weight, height, cost, and maintenance. Various digital display codes report when a problem exists, indicating the nature of the malfunction to help you quickly correct the situation. The system leverages state-of-the-art military electronics and pneumatic controls to help fleets save money.
