International Trucks customers can now order FlowBelow's Quick Release wheel covers and have them factory-installed on new LT and RH truck models.
">Tractor-trailer aerodynamic device supplier FlowBelow announced to the 2018 TMC Annual Meeting Sunday that it has entered into agreements with a major truck OEM and trailer OE to provide its systems as an optional equipment spec.
FlowBelow's “Quick Release” wheel covers and Tractor AeroKit System will now be offered as optional equipment on all new International LT and RH Series trucks. The FlowBelow systems can now be ordered through the International dealer network with the installation work completed at the International Truck Plant and Truck Speciality Center.
The Tractor AeroKit reduces aerodynamic turbulence on a truck by streamlining air past the drive wheels.
FlowBelow also announced Sunday that its AeroSlider aerodynamic system will now be offered as a factory-installed option on Strick Trailer and have the system installed at the company's trailer manufacturing facility in Monroe, Ind.
The Tractor AeroSlider system mounts directly to a trailer's sliding suspension and travels with it underneath the trailer flooring. The system is designed to smooth out the complex airflow found around trailer wheels and in the wake of a trailer moving at highway speeds.

">The Trifecta Pre-Adjusted Hub Assembly from Stemco could revolutionize wheel installation. Its eye-popping simplicity has left technicians slack-jawed in surprise with its simplicity and ease of installation. The new wheel end system was developed in partnership with Webb Wheel Products and announced at the 2018 Technology and Maintenance Council Annual Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibit in Atlanta.
Designed for safety, performance and confidence, the Trifecta Pre-Adjusted Hub Assembly features the industry-first Discover XR (extreme runtime) wheel seal with GlideLock technology. The seal glides on and is self-locking, reducing installation force by 50%, with no pre-lube required.
The combination of the Discover XR wheel seal, Webb Wheel's hub and the Defender composite hub cap provides the a high level of contamination and corrosion resistance. The Trifecta assembly also features Stemco's Zip-Torq unitized axle spindle nut, increasing simplicity and safety for end users. There are no additional clips, keepers, snap rings or screws to install. The self-ratcheting locking feature prevents inadvertent back-offs, Stemco says.
Additionally, Stemco President Todd Anderson said installation of the new hub assembly requires no bearing adjustment, ensuring the hub is installed correctly, quickly and easily.
"When we took this to fleets to demonstrate its ease of installation, technicians went through the procedures and were stunned to discover how simple and repeatable it was and that it no special tools," he said. "The new Zip Torq nut literally allows the mechanic to install, adjust and walk away."
