Plastic tank radiators have not changed much over the last 25 years.
Introducing the most revolutionary design since the introduction of plastic tank radiators — the “Isolator,” patent pending.
The Isolator
Every heavy-duty truck radiator on the road today gets pounded by vibration — and most plastic-tank radiators are mounted into a frame with bolts and pins. The frame of the radiator is then mounted to the frame of the truck. Road vibration travels directly up the radiator frame to the bolts and pins, then into the top tank and corners of the core — causing cracks in the tanks and corner tubes.
The quality of the radiators isn’t the issue. It’s how the radiator is mounted into the frame.
The “Isolator” uses metal tanks and eliminates the pins and bolts. The radiator is mounted into the frame with rubber isolators — so vibration from the road travels up the frame and bypasses the radiator entirely.
See the difference vibration makes
Watch where the road vibration goes in each design. In conventional mounts it drives straight into the radiator core. The Isolator routes it around the radiator entirely.
Vibration travels straight into the radiator
Plastic-tank truck radiators are mounted into a frame with bolts and pins. Road vibration runs straight up the frame and into the bolts — then into the top tank and corners of the core, cracking tanks and corner tubes.
Vibration goes directly to the mounting pins
Vibration flows around the radiator
The Isolator uses metal tanks and eliminates the pins and bolts. The radiator is mounted into the frame with rubber isolators — so vibration from the road travels up the frame and bypasses the radiator entirely.
Vibration goes around the frame — the radiator is unaffected
This heavy-duty truck radiator design will last longer than anyone on the market today.
