Meritor, Inc. and Pressure Systems International have announced Talbert Manufacturing, Inc. has chosen the Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS) by PSI as its preferred automatic tire inflation system.
MTIS by PSI is a simple design that can be installed on any type of trailer including van, liquid tank, logger, flat bed, chassis, livestock, platform, drop frame, dump, deep drop, doubles, dry bulk, reefer, auto transporter and military, Meritor says. The system adds life to tires, increases fuel efficiency and safety, maximizes recap potential, and keeps trailers on the road. It is an automatic system with constant air pressure available when needed. The patented rotary union is the only moving part in the system, significantly reducing maintenance, the company says.
According to Meritor, the patented ThermALERT option warns drivers of excessive wheel-end heat which helps avoid trailer fires or wheel-end damage.
“Talbert has a well-deserved reputation for building quality trailers and we are certainly pleased they have chosen MTIS by PSI as a value-added option for their customers,” says Walter Sherbourne, national sales manager of Trailer Products North America for Meritor.
“Talbert’s recognition that the premier automatic tire inflation system they can offer their customers is MTIS by PSI confirms to us that we are producing the best, most reliable and efficient system in the industry,” says Steve Robinson, director of OEM sales and dealer programs for PSI. “We appreciate the support of this fine company.”
MTIS is compatible with the Meritor Wabco PLC display for tractor-trailer communications as well as other telematic devices.
