SKF Offers Extended Warranty Programs

SKF a leading supplier of bearings, seals, mechatronics, lubrication systems, and services has announced the launch of its new premium wheel end system extended warranty package.

Called the SKF Trouble-Free Operation (TFO) program, and available for both the Trailer OEM and retro fit markets, fleets can now choose extended warranty options for up to seven years, based on the components in the package.

In enhancing the SKF TFO extended warranty wheel end system, SKF has evaluated and ensured compatibility of its components with the leading automatic tire inflation system, the Meritor Tire Inflation System by P.S.I.

SKF is currently a factory first-fit on many U.S. truck manufacturers with the SKF Scotseal PlusXL and TF hubcaps, and given the increasing utilization of A.T.I.S., it was critical to make sure that the TFO platform works well with the proven, industry leader in A.T.I.S., protecting nearly two million tires on trailers today.

The SKF TFO extended warranty wheel end system package does not require customers to purchase pre-assembled kits. Instead, customers can continue to purchase and install product as they do today. Fleets can reduce sourcing by using the SKF TFO wheel end system on all trailer applications.

Additionally, the SKF TFO extended warranty wheel end system package typically includes an SKF Scotseal Plus XL wheel seal, SKF premium tapered bearing, and SKF TF hubcap. The wheel end system components can be used with proven industry spindle nut designs and lubricants.
