NORTH CANTON, OH. (JULY 2024) - Hendrickson celebrates a significant achievement in its legacy of innovation and excellence as the one-millionth TIREMAAX® automatic tire pressure control system is installed. This milestone installation was completed by Utility Trailer and sold to Kroger, highlighting the impact of TIREMAAX in the transportation industry.
Matt Wilson, General Manager of Hendrickson Controls Business Unit, stated, "This milestone is more than a number; it's a testament to Hendrickson's commitment to quality, durability, and performance. We are proud to offer a product that not only meets but exceeds our customers’ expectations."
TIREMAAX, an automatic tire pressure control system, helps maintain optimal tire pressure in commercial vehicles, reducing wear and tear on tires and improving fuel efficiency. It automatically monitors and adjusts tire pressure, ensuring that tires are always properly inflated, contributing to safer operations and extending tire life. TIREMAAX is a critical component that enhances transportation fleets' reliability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness, aligning with the industry's growing focus on efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Steve Bennett, President and COO of Utility Trailer, shared his thoughts on the collaboration: "Utility Trailer is honored to be part of this historic moment with Hendrickson. The TIREMAAX system is a critical component in our trailers, providing our customers reliability and peace of mind. All Kroger 3000R refrigerated trailers, with Cargobull TRUs, come with UTILITY TrailerConnect for both TIREMAAX monitoring and monitoring of the TRU and trailer health.”
Dan Umphress, Kroger’s Manager of Fleet Services, commented on the impact of the TIREMAAX system: "Kroger is dedicated to sustainability and efficiency in our operations. The TIREMAAX system aligns with our values by ensuring optimal tire pressure, reducing wear and tear, and contributing to a greener footprint."
This achievement emphasizes Hendrickson's position as a leader in the industry and its unwavering dedication to delivering innovative solutions that advance the transportation sector.
