TPMS OTR Solutions For Heavy Machinery
Keeping the correct tire pressure and monitoring temperature and pressure changes is crucial for the heavy machinery used in mining operations.
Tires used in mining are exposed to heavyweights, extreme forces, high temperatures, rough terrains, and many other variables that put your tires to the test.Ā
If tires are not inflated to the correct pressure, they can cause shifts in the machineryās weight and exert more force on other wheels. This causes imbalances in the way the weight is distributed throughout the tires, which will cause them to fade faster than intended, not to mention that a shift in weight in certain terrain types or vehicle positions could also mean the risk of rollover.
Being able to sense tire pressure and temperature allows your maintenance team to be on the ready.
