Product Overview
If you are not using nitrogen to inflate your tires here are some reasons you may want to start. Some of the benefits include:
- Better tire pressure retention nitrogen migrates through a tire 3 to 4 times slower than oxygen. It may take 6 months to lose 2 psi with nitrogen compared to less than a month with oxygen.
- Improved fuel economy a result of having the proper air pressure which lessens the rolling resistance. Under-inflated tires have a greater rolling resistance.
- Cooler running tires tires inflated with nitrogen run cooler than tires inflated with regular air.
- Removal of oxidation oxygen is a highly reactive element at high temperatures and pressures. Replacing the oxygen with nitrogen helps eliminate the oxidation that damages inner liners and belt packages as well as eliminate rim rust.
- Improved retreadability eliminating oxidation also improves the retreadability due to more flexibility in the tire casing. Less tire aging and tire cord rust could very well increase the number of retreadable casings and also increase the number of times a casing could be retreaded.
- On-the-road reliability tire failures can be significantly reduced resulting in less down time and safer operation.
Real Savings
Filling a truck tire with nitrogen can extend tire life by up to 25%. So, a truck tire that normally lasts 270,000 miles when filled with air, will last 337,500 miles if filled with nitrogen. That breaks out to big savings, too. At a savings of $120 per tire, a fleet of 50 trucks and 900 wheel positions would save more than $100,000 in tire costs by inflating with nitrogen.
Ideal for:
-Fleet Operations
-Tire Service Centers
-Auto Dealerships
The Nitrogen Cart offers a portable stand-alone solution for Nitrogen filling of tires. Using a standard size nitrogen tank the tire inflator operates on a rechargeable battery. The battery life is extended by an automatic power off function. In typical use the unit will only have to be recharged every few days as high capacity NiMH batteries are used.
The Nitrogen Cart is supplied with many accessories for easy connection to tire valves. The specially developed nitrogen software will purge the air out of any size tire and re-inflate with nitrogen. The Nitrogen Cart offers a mobile solution for nitrogen tire inflation. You can designate the number of purge cycles to guarantee the purity level needed to obtain the benefits of nitrogen inflation over standard air inflation.
