Utility Trailer Announces 5-Year Stemco Platinum Performance System™ as Standard Wheel End Equipment on All Trailers

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif.--Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company, a leading manufacturer of dry freight vans, reefers, flatbeds, and Tautliner® curtainsided trailers, is pleased to announce that it has made the 5-year Stemco® Platinum Performance System™ the standard wheel end equipment on all reefers, dry vans, flatbeds and the Tautliner®, including the 3000R® reefer and the 4000D-X® thin-wall dry van.

Reducing downtime, the Platinum Performance System™ is backed by a five (5) year warranty. Enabling our customers to increase productivity and reduce maintenance costs, the Stemco Platinum Performance System™ includes the Stemco® Guardian® HP Oil Seal, the Stemco® PRO-TORQ® Spindle Nut and Stemco® integrated Sentinel® hubcap. Utility has made the Platinum Performance System™ standard equipment on all reefers, dry vans, flatbeds and the Tautliner®.

“Our trailers are loaded with features and specs that are option upgrades on other brands of trailers. For instance, we’ve made this 5-year wheel end standard equipment on all trailers, replacing the previous 1-year standard wheel end we used to have,” said Craig Bennett, Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing, Utility Trailer. “We’re setting the standard in the industry by reaching for new standards that reflect Utility’s heritage of building durable trailers engineered for increased productivity and reduced maintenance.”

Engineered for low tare weight and high payloads, the 3000R® was completely designed from the ground up to provide greater quality and higher standard features to give our customers more productivity. The natural accompaniment to the leading mix of standard features, the 5-year Stemco® Platinum Performance System™ joins the patented 16,000 lb. floor system, superior corrosion protection, patented Barrier® rear doors with durable door gaskets, foam in place insulation, Hendrickson Quik-Draw® pneumatic slider pull-pin system, high strength rear bumper, stainless steel rear door frame, and LED lights, that make the 3000R® the nation’s number one selling reefer.

Designed for strength and productivity, the 4000D-X® patented thin-wall design was engineered to compete squarely in the thin-wall segment by combining an aluminum exterior skin with 80K steel interior panels separated by a core material. Complementing a variety of productivity-enhancing standard features, the 5-year Stemco® Platinum Performance System™ joins the other standard features, such as Snag Free™ recessed squeezed rivets, stainless steel rear door frame, heavy duty king pin assembly, Hendrickson Quik-Draw® pneumatic slider pull-pin system, integrated rear threshold plate, patented 80k flush steel side posts, and white lining panels, that make the 4000D-X® the natural choice in thin-wall dry vans.
