Meritor ThermALERT, an advanced Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS) by PSI technology designed to help detect elevated wheel-end operating temperatures, is available on new trailers assembled with Meritor prepped TN- TQ- and P-spindle profile trailer axles. A prepped axle includes beam, brakes, plugs and stators factory assembled by ArvinMeritor.

ThermALERT, an option with the MTIS by PSI, detects increased wheel end temperatures and helps alert drivers to stop for repairs before serious damage can occur, the company said. This early warning helps reduce the potential risk, cost and downtime associated with wheel loss, wheel end failures, and trailer fires.    

Expanded coverage including aftermarket MTIS systems with the ThermALERT feature will be available at a later date.
