"Motorhead Garage was looking for an innovative trailer product that tackles the major concerns affecting the industry today - cost savings, fuel economy and safety," says Scott Fulton, director of new product development at Hendrickson Trailer. "TIREMAAX PRO offers a solution to these issues by decreasing the amount of time and money fleets spend due to improperly inflated tires."
TIREMAAX PRO is the first automatic tire inflation system in the trailer industry that is capable of actively inflating or deflating the tires to a preset pressure level. Its straightforward mechanical design balances tire pressure at every wheel position by continuously monitoring and adjusting tire pressure based on changing environmental conditions - an important feature for achieving maximum tread life in any tire configuration.
With robust components and no electronics, transducers or pressure switches, TIREMAAX PRO is versatile and easy to install and maintain. It may be combined with an array of Hendrickson-approved wheel-end configurations on any INTRAAX® primary suspension system, VANTRAAX® slider suspension system or TRLAXLE trailer axle.
