STEMCO, HDNABI team on air disc axles

HDNABI has selected STEMCO’s Platinum Performance System Plus (PPS+) with Auto-Torq as the standard specification for all dressed air disc axles supplied to trailer OEMs, the companies reported.

HDNABI, which provides dressed air disc axles to leading trailer manufacturers including Great Dane, Hyundai, Wabash, Fruehauf, and Strick, selected the PPS+ System with Auto-Torq to enhance performance, minimize downtime, and provide extended warranty coverage, according to the news release. STEMCO’s wheel end technology was chosen for its record of reliability and its integrated-system approach. With STEMCO products, every component is engineered to work seamlessly together to eliminate weak links and ensure consistent performance.

“The modern wheel end is a system of codependent pieces, each critical to the overall reliability of your vehicle,” said Josh Kucera, product manager at STEMCO. “Air disc axles continue to raise the bar and are naturally complemented by the PPS+ System of premium STEMCO products, ensuring that every component in your wheel end was built to perform to the highest standard.”

Both companies see this as a win for fleets.

“With PPS+ and Auto-Torq now standard on HDNABI’s dressed axles, fleets can expect the longest warranty coverage in the industry: eight years, parts and labor, supported by two trusted names in trailer innovation,” said Tre Wright, national OEM sales manager for STEMCO. “This partnership is a win-win for our customers, and we believe it furthers our commitment to Making the Roadways Safer.”

STEMCO and HDNABI teams will begin working jointly with fleets and OEMs to expand adoption of PPS+ and Auto Torq-equipped axles.
