Product Family
Spicer’s® Tire Maintenance System is one of a family
of tire pressure management products that improve the pro-
ductivity of commercial vehicles. Spicer’s®
family of
tire pressure management products include:
• Tire Maintenance System–This system senses
when one or more tires are below the desired cold
pressure setting and reinflates the tires to the
desired setting. The system alerts the vehicle opera-
tor, via a warning lamp, when tires are significantly
below the desired pressure.
• Mobility Systems–These systems are used in mili-
tary and on/off-highway commercial applications.
Spicer’s® mobility systems are capable of
controlling tire pressure over a wide range of operat-
ing conditions. In addition to providing the benefits
of the systems described above, these systems can
lower tire pressure significantly to maximize the area
of the tire footprint and greatly improve vehicle
mobility under soft surface conditions.
