Inflation Systems Used on Off-Road Trailers
Posted by Tim on April 25, 2006
I manage military semi trailers, 22-1/2 ton, flatbeds and single drop decks that operate off road as much as 70% of their mission requirements, this includes areas where there are no roads, tracks or even ruts. Is a tire inflation system a good idea under such conditions where it is subject to hazards which can damage it and increase the maintenance burden?
If you are asking about inflations systems that allow you to reduce inflations pressures for off-road, low speed conditions and maintain proper inflation in all conditions, the answer is YES. As a tire guy, I like anything that helps you keep the right amount of air in a tire. Nothing is more important from a tire maintenance standpoint.
