HOW WE PROTECT AGAINST

CORROSION

Fleets often ask us how to prevent rusted or corroded wheels. It’s a top priority in around-the-wheel care for important reasons: wheels need to be strong, safe, and attractive to support productivity.

WHERE IT STARTS

Corrosion prevention is not only important in regards to safety, but it can also affect productivity and your bottom line. Properly maintaining your wheels will help you stay ahead of these issues and keep your fleet safe.

EFFECTS OF CORROSION ON YOUR COMMERCIAL FLEET
In the most concentrated spots, corrosion gradually burns through the metal to form abrasions, cracks, and holes. When corrosion affects areas such as wheel ends, the effects are damaging to the quality and performance capabilities of the vehicle in question. If the problem is not rectified, wheel-end corrosion can put drivers and fellow motorists at risk.

YOUR BEST SOLUTION TO HANDLE THE HEAT AND AVOID CORROSION

Tires experience a multitude of conditions throughout their lifetime. General wear and tear on a tire can lead to air loss, punctures, and a variety of issues that are dangerous and costly to fleet managers. Add in heavy stop-and-start operating, fluctuating outside temperatures, and rough road conditions, and wear on a tire drastically increases. Using tire sealants helps to combat this problem

FIVE WAYS TO STOP YOUR REFINISHED WHEELS FROM CORRODING DURING WINTER
Fleets often ask us about ways to prevent rusty or corroded wheels. It’s a top priority in around-the-wheel care for important reasons: wheels need to be strong, safe, and attractive to support productivity. While strong wheels are a necessity all year long, they’re even more important during the winter months when brine, magnesium, and other chlorides eat through the finish on your wheels, exposing them to corrosion and other potential hazards.
