Vehicle Shipping on Tires Filled With Nitrogen?

American car transport service providers that have been experiencing under-inflated or inconsistent inflating across sets of dual truck tires might want to check out the reported benefits firms are receiving by inflating their truck tires with nitrogen, rather than the air we breathe. Nitrogen is a naturally occurring gas making up over 79 percent of the air around us, and is superior for inflating truck tires, according to transport professionals. The machinery they use to inflate truck tires these days actually uses a membrane process that removes the oxygen from the air, which leaves the air inside the truck tire about 95 to 98 percent pure nitrogen. Nitrogen slows the natural pressure loss of truck tires filled with oxygen, which according to scientists is a gas that can permeate through the rubber of the tire, and result in the loss of tire pressure over months of time. In addition, pure nitrogen has less water, so water in truck tires, the corroding of steel wheels or freezing of tire values in winter should be reduced.

Sources around the car transport industry of the United States of America indicate that barring leaks, poorly seated beads, bad valves, and other things a truck tire filled with nitrogen will stay inflated longer at the required pressure than a truck tire inflated with normal air, which will help reduce the problems created by under-inflated or inconsistent inflating across truck tires.

Car transport companies looking for a solution to the problem of truck tires losing pressure over time might want to check out the benefits being reported by other transport professionals of inflating their truck tires with nitrogen, rather than air. This could be an idea that saves you money down the road and anything that could save money is probably something you'll want to take a close look at?
