• Keeping the wheels turning with AIR-CTI

  Discover what AIR-CTI is, how it works, and why Tasmanian operators trust it for traction, safety, and tyre life.Join us as we head deep into Tasmania to meet logging and transport operators who rely on AIR-CTI central tyre inflation systems to tackle some of the steepest and toughest terrain in the state. From enhancing traction on slick forestry tracks to improving tyre life and safety on the highway, we see first-hand how AIR-CTI is changing the way trucks handle the job.  And it’s not just for trucks in the bush. Super spreaders working wet paddocks and soft soils are also reaping the rewards, with reduced compaction, improved efficiency, and the ability to keep moving when conditions turn muddy. These are real stories from real operators, straight from the cab.
