Meritor and Pressure Systems International (PSI) announced expanded availability of an optional feature on their automatic tire inflation system.
The control box check point option was previously available on a limited basis with the Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS) by PSI; now, it can be included with any MTIS by PSI system purchased for new trailer installations or retrofits. With the new feature, maintenance personnel and drivers can check the regulated air pressure at the control box without shutting off the system and disconnecting the supply line from the control box, the companies said.
“Fleets want a simpler way to change their desired system pressure or validate their current setting,” said Charlie LaFuente, PSI’s engineer and quality control manager.
MTIS by PSI is an automatic system that immediately provides air pressure to any trailer tire should the pressure fall below the desired setting.
By keeping tires properly inflated, MTIS by PSI improves tire maintenance management, trailer uptime and bottom-line ROI and reduces CSA violations, the makers added.
