HEAT-SENSING WHEEL END
Meritor ThermALERT, an advanced option on the Meritor Tire Inflation System by PSI, helps detect elevated wheel-end operating temperatures. It’s now available on new trailers assembled with Meritor-prepped TN, TQ and P-spindle profile trailer axles. A prepped axle includes beam, brakes, plugs, and stators factory assembled by ArvinMeritor.
ThermALERT alerts drivers to stop for repairs before serious damage can occur, thus helping to reduce the potential risk, cost and downtime associated with wheel loss, wheel end failures, and trailer fires.
Fleets interested in adding this option when ordering trailers with MTIS should contact their ArvinMeritor sales representative for additional information. Expanded coverage including aftermarket MTIS systems with the new feature will be available at a later date.
