The Athena award is given by PSI each year to the company who does the most to promote the use of the ThermALERT technology. When included with MTIS, PSI says ThermALERT warns vehicle operators of excessive heat buildup in the wheel end before it results in wheel loss, wheel-end failures, and possibly dangerous and costly trailer fires. MTIS by PSI is Utility’s preferred automatic tire inflation system and the ThermALERT technology has been increasingly included in the specifications offering Utility customers an additional safety feature, the company says.
“ThermALERT was developed to address the safety concern of possible wheel off situations due to heat buildup in the wheel end and we’re very appreciative that Utility recognizes the benefits this technology offers their customers,” Musgrave says. “Having a trailer manufacturer with Utility’s reputation support this technology reinforces our belief in the advantages of this technology.”
