Tire Inflation System
AIRGO Systems® specializes in the design and production of constant tire inflation systems (CTIS) for all commercial, long-haul vehicles including tankers, intermodals, refrigerated trailers, dry haulers, and specialty trailers. AIRGO® Systems patented Automatic Tire Inflation System not only monitors tire pressure, but also automatically inflates leaking tires while a vehicle is in motion, using the trailer's existing air supply.

Working extensively with commercial trucking industry fleets, AIRGO® Systems has a comprehensive understanding of how existing commercial tire inflation systems meet or fall short of industry demands. Based on this in-depth, hands-on research, AIRGO® Systems' engineers raised tire inflation and safety to the next level by designing and patenting the most technologically advanced, most effective and most reliable constant and automatic tire inflation system available today, and then backing it with an unprecedented five-year, unlimited miles warranty.
The Benefits
Why AIRGO® is The World's Best Automatic Tire Inflation System All tire inflation systems are NOT created equal. As tire monitoring and inflation become an issue of impending importance and complexity for the commercial trucking industry, so does the need for proper criteria to better evaluate all available solutions.
We are dedicated to providing our industry with all of the information necessary to make an informed decision about this important technology.
The superior engineering of Airgo Systems takes tire inflation and safety to the next level with the most reliable constant tire inflation system available today.
All tire inflation systems are NOT created equal.
Cost Savings
For less than the cost of one tire failure, the AIRGO® System improves your business' bottom line by:
- Reducing tire costs
- Preventing roadside downtime
- Extending tread life
- Increasing fuel efficiency
- Enabling longer maintenance intervals
Time Savings
In today's competitive trucking industry, time equals money. Tire blowouts mean more downtime and fewer miles on the road. With AIRGO®, whether a tire develops a leak or a large puncture, your fleet can keep rolling without jeopardizing safety or schedules. The AIRGO® System provides the control and peace of mind to keep freight moving.
Increased Safety
When a tire is damaged, your driver and cargo are at risk. The NHTSA estimates that over 10,000 injuries could be prevented per year if all vehicles were equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems. With the AIRGO® System, you can ensure the safety of your driver and reduce the risk of highway accidents, which often can lead to personal injury, property damage and expensive litigation.
Preserves Retreads
Tires that lose pressure or are under-inflated can develop uneven tread wear that prohibits re-treading. This industry-wide problem accounts for shorter tire life spans and unnecessary replacement costs. The AIRGO® System ensures even tread wear by constantly maintaining tire inflation at preset levels which, in turn, yield higher quality casings for retreads.
TREAD ACT Ready
While the implications for the trucking industry are still not finalized, Section 13 of the TREAD Act indicates that medium- and heavy-duty commercial trucks and trailers will likely need to have a system installed that warns drivers of 'significant' low tire pressure. The AIRGO® System actually goes a step beyond this monitoring requirement by not only warning the driver of an impending tire problem but also providing a system that immediately reinflates a tire that is under inflated while the vehicle is in operation.

The Design Features
Bulletproof Rotary Union
The AIRGO® System is engineered to provide the safest possible method of transferring air to damaged or compromised tires. The AIRGO® Automatic Tire Inflation System mechanical seal technology is comprised of Carbon/graphite and case-hardened steel, dynamic and static seals for extended wear capabilities.
No Moving Parts
Moving parts wear over time and eventually leak. AIRGO'S engineering team designed a stationary system with no moving components within the hub area. No moving parts means there is nothing to wear out and less of a chance that there will be leaks in the lubrication compartment. Less wear and leaks greatly reduces the risk of pressurizing and/or damaging the hub area while significantly extending the life of the system. AIRGO'S stationary system is patent-protected making it a stand-out among competitor offerings.
Superior Venting System
The AIRGO® System has a superior venting system that vents directly into the atmosphere eliminating the possibility of damaging wheel seals, or introducing moisture to the lubrication compartment.
Patented Expansion Plug
The AIRGO® Automatic Tire Inflation System is designed with maintenance and OEM professionals in mind. The system’s patented expansion plug for sealing the axle is the fastest and easiest axle plug to install. Installing the expansion plug does not require any special tools. The expansion plug is designed to self seal. The Airgo plug has been tested to extremely rigorous standards (up to 85 times its working pressure) with no failures.
Automatic System Check at Valve Stem
The AIRGO® Automatic Tire Inflation System checks inflation levels for each tire at the valve stem so as not to extend the tire pressure out to the hub. With the AIRGO® System, if a hose is leaking, the system will alert the driver and the tire will continue to fill with air and not go flat. Simply remove the bad hose and the other tires will remain serviced by the system.
Minimizes Driver Intervention
The AIRGO® Automatic Tire Inflation System is simple and effective with quality built into every component. As a result, less driver intervention is required. A simple on/off valve will turn the system off and allow the trailer to continue on down the road.
Sealed System
The AIRGO® System is designed to operate safely and effectively in any environment and in all applications, i.e. tanker, van or refer. All hubcap components are sealed to eliminate water or debris from entering the hub area. The system's electrical switch is environmentally-sealed, providing protection from the elements and eliminating dangerous spiking and sparks.
5-year, Unlimited Miles Warranty
The AIRGO® Automatic Tire Inflation System has undergone rigorous tests including pressure washing, environmental, pressure relief, water immersion, rotary seal wear, flow, and expansion plug, to ensure miles of reliability and years of service in any environment. The durable design is backed by an aggressive and unprecedented five-year, unlimited-miles warranty which positions Airgo customers to maximize their return on investment.
