One of the concerns about tire-inflation systems that are mounted on the hub is durability: how will the components hold up as they’re exposed to the outside elements? Airgo says its Constant Tire Inflation System features stationary hub components and a venting process that doesn’t jeopardize vital wheel-end components and results in a durable product.
The system transfers air to damaged or compromised tires. A case-hardened steel and carbon graphite rotary seal is installed outside the hub and vents externally. It is compatible with all hubcap configurations (oil and grease) and axle specifications (pressurized and non-pressurized) so it can be quickly serviced. All hubcap components are sealed and the electrical switch is also sealed, eliminating spiking and sparks.

With no moving parts, Airgo says, there is nothing to wear out, which greatly reduces the risk of pressurizing and/or damaging the hub area while significantly extending the life of the system.

The product is backed by a five-year, unlimited miles warranty.

Airgo’s tire inflation system is available immediately to fleets of all sizes at a suggested retail price of $795 US (tandem-axle, eight-tire applications). OEM and distributor pricing also is available. Call 1-877/550-6111 for details or visit Airgo Systems at www.tireinflation.com.
