With so many uncontrollable variables in the world of trucking, companies must look to maximize advantages on anything which they can control. Twenty-nine pounds per drum might not sound like much to a tandem axle tractor/trailer combination. Take that same 29 pound savings and multiply it across the entire tractor/trailer, then across an entire fleet and you have a real competitive advantage developing. Increased payloads, decreased fuel cost, less maintenance, any way you look at it, dropping those 29 pounds can be a real advantage in the marketplace. Centrifuse Lite provides up to 224lbs of weight savings compared to a typical fullcast drum equipped 18-wheel tractor trailer.
