SKF Presents PSI Compatible Hubcaps

SKF recently added four new PSI compatible hubcaps to its premium wheel-end Scotseal product offering. The new hubcaps are compatible with the Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS) by Pressure Systems Incorporated (PSI), an automatic tyre inflation system (ATIS). MTIS uses compressed air from a trailer’s air system to inflate any tyre that falls below a specified pre-set pressure. The system ultimately increases tyre life, fuel efficiency and safety, its maker says.

“The new PSI compatible SKF hubcaps provide fleets with a reliable and safe option to maintain wheel end systems during over-the-road operation,” says Leslie Kern, Senior Product Manager, Heavy Duty Market, SKF. “These new hubcaps complement our superior line of Scotseal products, including the Scotseal PlusXL wheel seal.”

Added Steve Otteman, VP of Operations, PSI, “From an operations viewpoint, the new PSI hubcap from SKF is another extension of our long standing partnership with SKF in which they have supplied PSI with vital raw material components. The hubcap is critical in supplying our customers with a full range of quality wheel-end products. We are pleased to have another SKF product in our PSI tool kit.”
