STEMCO and HDNABI Collaborate to Enhance Trailer Air Disc Axle Reliability

HDNABI, a leading air disc brake manufacturer, has selected the STEMCO Platinum Performance System Plus™ (PPS+) with Auto-Torq® as the standard wheel end specification for all dressed air disc axles supplied to trailer OEMs.

 

HDNABI supplies dressed air disc axles to major trailer manufacturers including Great Dane, Hyundai, Wabash, Fruehauf, and Strick. The decision to integrate STEMCO’s PPS+ System reflects a shared commitment to performance, uptime, and long-term dependability.

 

“The modern wheel end is a system of codependent pieces, each critical to the overall reliability of your vehicle,” said Josh Kucera, Product Manager at STEMCO. “Air disc axles continue to raise the bar and are naturally complemented by the PPS+ System of premium STEMCO products, ensuring that every component in your wheel end was built to perform to the highest standard.”

 

The PPS+ System combines STEMCO’s premium wheel end components, engineered to work together seamlessly for consistent, dependable performance. With Auto-Torq’s self-adjusting spindle nut and the integrated protection of PPS+, fleets gain a fully aligned system designed for durability and peace of mind.

 

“With PPS+ and Auto-Torq now standard on HDNABI’s dressed axles, fleets can expect the longest warranty coverage in the industry, eight years of parts and labor,” said Tre Wright, National OEM Sales Manager for STEMCO. “This partnership is a win for our customers and reinforces our commitment to Making the Roadways Safer.”

 

The STEMCO and HDNABI teams are now collaborating with fleets and OEMs to expand adoption of PPS+ and Auto-Torq-equipped axles across the industry.

 

At STEMCO, safety and reliability are at the heart of everything we do. Our team’s expertise and dedication ensure that every component we design and build performs to the highest standard. As a trusted leader in the commercial trucking industry, we know that our success depends on the hard work of our employees and the partnerships we build with innovators like HDNABI. Together, we work hard to strengthen American manufacturing, while delivering solutions fleets can count on for safe, reliable performance.
