Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co. announced a significant change affecting all of their Utility trailer models. The company has decided to make ConMet Preset Plus wheel end hubs standard on all Utility trailers.
For almost 20 years, ConMet Preset Plus has maintained a reputation as the top wheel-end system available on the market. Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co. is a well-known trailblazer in the industry. Not only is it the biggest manufacturer of refrigerated trailers, but it’s also a top manufacturer of flatbeds, Tautliner curtain-sided trailers and dry freight vans. So, it’s no surprise that Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co. would turn to ConMet to secure a top wheel-end system for its line of trailers.
Setting the Standard
The PreSet Plus® wheel-end hubs stand out for several reasons. They are built with long-lasting bearings designed to withstand demanding daily use, and they feature a precision-engineered bearing spacer that helps extend hub life while simplifying maintenance. Additional advantages include:
- An integrated spindle nut enhances wheel-end clamp load and streamlines the installation process
- Long-lasting life seals
- Precise casting work
- ABS tone ring
- Convenient magnetic fill plug contributing to easy trailer maintenance
- A choice of aluminum or iron material
- The option of drum or air-disc brakes for TP or TN axles
In addition to these advantages, the PreSet Plus® hubs come with an 8-year warranty, offering exceptional long-term value.
Steve Bennett, Vice President of Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co., noted that the PreSet Plus® provides a state-of-the-art, low-maintenance design built for maximum durability.
Ken Kelley, ConMet’s Vice President of Trailer, Tier1, and Fleet & Service, also expressed his enthusiasm, highlighting the growing adoption of this advanced wheel-end technology throughout the industry.
