    Aug. 1, 2008

    Pressure Systems International, manufacturer of the Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS) by PSI with ThermALERT technology, has chosen Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company to receive its inaugural ThermALERT Athena Award. This award will be given each year to the company that does the most to increase the use of ThermALERT, which senses excessive wheel-end heat build up and warns the vehicle operator before the excessive heat results in wheel loss, wheel-end failures, and possibly trailer fires.

    The award was named “Athena” after the mythical Greek goddess who was considered a champion of protection, craftsmanship, logic, and wisdom.

    Utility has furnished more than 400 fleets with ThermALERT since going standard with it in June 2007.
