SMARTIRE

TRAILER-LINK TPMS FOR TRAILERS
Not taking care of your fleet’s tires will cost you plenty –
from higher operating costs and increased downtime, to
customer dissatisfaction, and even potential accidents.
The SmarTire
®
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) by
Bendix CVS helps your drivers and technicians keep up-to-date
on potentially dangerous tire conditions. Tire inflation issues can
be handled promptly in the yard, or by the driver, before they
become a problem on the road.
Tire Pressure Management –
Accurate Alerts Are Imperative
Did you know that just a couple of hours into your route, the
temperature of your tires can increase 20% or more? The
SmarTire TPMS system adjusts alerts based on the current tire
conditons displayed on the SmarTire gauge notifies the driver
which tire is low and how much pressure to add. That’s because
the system’s sensors are in the pressure vessel of the tire,
allowing them to accurately measure tire temperature and
pressure and make adjustments accordingly ... a requirement for
an effective daily tire pressure management program.
The wheel-mounted SmarTire sensors wirelessly transmit data to
the receiver which, in turn, analyzes the information to determine
if an alert is necessary. Through an in-cab display, or integrated
vehicle cluster, the SmarTire system reports both tire pressure
and temperature information, instantly warning of tire-related
problems, including alerts for low and high tire pressure,
extreme low tire pressure, and extreme high temperature,
before they pose a safety hazard. Real-time protection.
For your maintenance team back at the shop, data is available
from the in-cab dash display, on the vehicle network from your
telematics provider, or via a hand-held reader that makes it easy
for them to check the tires on your trucks and trailers in the yard.
It’s all about drive time,
not down time.
SmarTire TPMS for tractors and SmarTire Trailer-Link
is available now as factory installed at most OEMs,
or as a retrofit kit at any Bendix authorized
distribution channel partner.
