AIRGO System Design & Ease-of-Installation On Display This Week at Technology Maintenance Council in Tampa Booth 1544

Airgo Systems, Inc., TMC Booth Number: 1544, a manufacturer and distributor of commercial tire monitoring, maintenance, and inflation systems, and a member of the Dominion Group of Companies, today announced an exclusive agreement with Vantage Trailers, Inc. of Katy, Texas. Vantage Trailers, a manufacturer specialized in designing dump trailers, has selected the AIRGO(R) System as the exclusive automatic tire inflation system to be installed as a standard feature on all Vantage trailers in 2005, including those with wide-base tire design.

Founded in 1990 by industry veteran Pat Lemmons, Vantage Trailers is headquartered in Katy, Texas, with additional facilities located in Fort Worth, Texas and Springfield, Illinois, as well as several dealer locations. Vantage (formerly CMC Dump Trailers, Inc.) has always been in the forefront of innovative trailer construction, and was drawn to the AIRGO(R) System based on its unique design.

"We've used other tire inflation systems in the past, but continually ran into problems such as leaky hubcaps and oil in the axle," said Cliff McWilliams, Chief Engineer, Vantage Trailers. "Airgo Systems addressed and eliminated these problems with its design. Couple that with the system's ease-of-installation, and we're convinced - this is the only tire inflation system we want to provide to our customers as standard equipment."

Vantage Trailers' customers operate in dump environments that present a variety of conditions. A tire will run cool on the highway at 70 mph without a load, then heat up when loaded. The changes in temperature often cause tread and sidewall flex, which can result in uneven tire wear. Automatic tire inflation systems are essential to maintain constant tire calibration and inflation.

"A tire inflation solution is an absolute necessity for the varying temperatures and other environmental conditions impacting dump trailers," continued McWilliams. "With proper tire inflation, some customers are tripling tire mileage."
