Tire inflation systems for semi trucks are a game-changer for fleets looking to boost efficiency and safety on the road.
Properly inflated tires can improve fuel efficiency by up to 5% and extend tire life by up to 30%.
Tire underinflation is a major safety concern, accounting for nearly 30% of all tire-related accidents.
A well-designed tire inflation system can help prevent these accidents by ensuring tires are always at the recommended pressure.
Tire Pressure Control Systems
Improperly inflated tires can greatly reduce fuel economy and tire life. Studies show that it's a significant maintenance issue in the industry today.
Tire pressure control systems are designed to keep trailer tires properly inflated and rolling smoothly. Hendrickson's TIREMAAX tire pressure control systems utilize advanced, patented technology to achieve this.
These systems can pay for themselves with savings from increased fuel mileage, reduced tire maintenance and replacement costs, and prevention of tire failure leading to downtime and costly road service.
In the event of extreme air loss, the equipment overrides the inflation process, guaranteeing the normal operation of the brakes and suspension. This double safety control ensures the trailer remains safe to operate.
Benefits and ROI
Installing a tire inflation system for your semi truck can bring significant benefits and a strong return on investment. The TIREMAAX ROI Calculator shows that installing TIREMAAX PRO Tire Inflation System on your trailers can help you calculate the Return on Investment.
Tire blowouts can be devastating, but with a proper tire inflation system, you can significantly reduce the risk. The TIREMAAX PRO system helps maintain optimal tire pressure.
By keeping your tires properly inflated, you'll experience improved fuel efficiency, which can save you money on fuel costs. The benefits of a tire inflation system don't stop there, as it also helps extend the life of your tires.

Specifications and Features
The TIREMAAX Model offers compatibility with various suspension systems and axle configurations. The TIREMAAX CP model is compatible with Hendrickson integrated air suspension systems and non-integrated axles.
The TIREMAAX Model supports different tire sizes, including 17.5", 19.5", 22.5", and 24.5". The cold tire pressure setting for the TIREMAAX CP model ranges from 70 to 120 PSI.
The TIREMAAX PRO model has a cold tire pressure setting of 85 to 120 PSI. The TIREMAAX PRO-LB model is compatible with specific axle configurations and tire styles.
Here's a list of the TIREMAAX Model specifications:
The VIGIA Calibrator is designed to maintain predetermined tire pressure levels, automatically adjusting in case of a drop in pressure, including in the event of a puncture.
Safety and Maintenance
Proper tire inflation is crucial for safety and maintenance. Unique safety features like double safety control can guarantee normal brake and suspension operation even in extreme air loss situations.
The correct calibration of the tire inflation system reduces the risk of accidents due to blowouts, offering additional protection for people and goods. This is especially important for semi-truck drivers who transport goods and people.
In the event of a puncture, the system maintains the tire pressure until the nearest repair shop is reached without the need to stop driving. This can save time and money by avoiding roadside repairs.
Regular tire pressure checks are essential for fuel efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. A vehicle equipped with VIGIA consumes less fuel and emits less CO2 by maintaining the correct pressure.
Always check your PSI, and try to include it as part of a pre-trip inspection. Measuring the air pressure at the same time every day can account for changes in temperature or weather patterns.
