The TeleTPMS can be used for HGVs, buses, coaches and trailers, and transmits tyre pressure and temperature measurements.
Fleet managers can access this data via a desktop, tablet or web application. Vehicles and tyres are graded with coloured displays and any requiring attention will be highlighted with an automated warning message.
Since the system monitors continuously, TyrePal says it “practically eliminates” a potential blowout or tyre fire and, it adds, gives fleet managers the location of each vehicle.
“There is a common misconception that tyre failures in commercial vehicles are unavoidable,” says Peter Tillotson, TyrePal’s business development manager.
“Tyre blowouts, as an example, are widely considered to be unpredictable accidents, but they don’t just happen. The original cause could be side-wall damage, an overloaded tyre or even just a small, slow puncture. When the vehicle is in motion, these small problems could lead to a dangerous tyre burst or fire.
“Tyre pressure monitoring is often overlooked by fleet managers. However, regular monitoring of tyre pressure can reduce the probability of a blowout – and other tyre related accidents – significantly.”
