“Identifying ways to improve upon our technology to increase our products’ benefits is always a primary objective,” says Merrick Murphy, a divisional vice president and general manager.
“We continue to lead the way in innovation and are proud to be able to offer our customers the lightest and most efficient wide base wheel in the industry,” Murphy adds.
The 14-inch wide base wheels replace dual wheels and reduce overall vehicle weight for improved productivity or increased fuel economy. Now, at 58 pounds per wheel, and load ratings up to 12,800 pounds, they are the lightest wheels in its class, according to Murphy, who says the offerings can reduce the weight of an 18-wheeler by nearly 1,400 pounds to cut annual fuel costs or increase payload.
They run cooler, extend tire durability and improve productivity: “No other component on a truck is as simple to swap out, offering immediate benefits to both the environment and the bottom line,” says Murphy.Finish options consist of clean buff, polished, Dura-Bright and Dura-Flange.
