10030 ESCO Pyrosafe valve
Wow! This photo is a real attention getter isn’t it? A multimillion dollar haul truck up in flames. Let’s hope the driver got out in time. How could something like this happen? When a loaded haul truck is moving it generates a tremendous amount of heat in the tires. As the heat increases so does the internal air pressure. Eventually when enough heat and air pressure build…..BOOM! You now have what you see in the photo. Not only is there the potential of loss of life the cost of replacing the haul truck is in the millions.
Could this have been prevented? The answer is Yes! By installing the ESCO 10030 Pyrosafe valve. The Pyrosafe valve threads into the face of the wheel that supports air and is designed to release the internal air pressure when it reaches 190 psi or when the temperature reaches 200 degrees, well before serious damage can occur. The ESCO 10030 Pyrosafe valve is easy to install and the installation will not void the warranty of the wheel assembly. Call an ESCO customer service representative for more details. 800-352-9852.
