Product Information
The Halo Tire Inflator is a completely mechanical, rotary pump designed for dual or wide-base tires on tractors and trailers. It is an easy-to-install, bolt-on device that can be mounted in 5-10 minutes per wheel-end without the need for connection to an onboard air compressor. The Halo is not intended to replace regular pressure checks and tire maintenance practices as specified by the FMCSA in their Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) Program. Aperia encourages users to take care of their tires and Halos for their safety.
