Question 1

What is a TPMS system and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

A TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is a real-time tire pressure monitoring system. PressurePro TPMS sensors are installed on each tire and continuously transmit pressure and temperature data to a central monitor. This allows detection of pressure loss, overheating, and prevents blowouts before accidents occur.

Question 2

How much fuel can I save with a TPMS system?

Accepted Answer

With PressurePro's TPMS system, fleets can save up to 15% in fuel consumption by maintaining optimal tire pressure. Incorrect tire pressure increases rolling resistance, which raises fuel consumption and premature wear. Real-time monitoring ensures all tires maintain ideal pressure.

Question 3

Does the TPMS system work in high-altitude mining operations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PressurePro TPMS sensors are designed for extreme conditions, including high-altitude mining in the Andes (Chile, Peru, Bolivia). Sensors operate in temperature ranges from -40°C to +125°C and are certified for mining equipment, high-tonnage trucks, and heavy machinery.

Question 4

How are TPMS sensors installed on tires?

Accepted Answer

PressurePro TPMS sensors install directly onto the tire valve stem, without needing to dismount the tire. Installation is quick (15-20 minutes per vehicle) and requires no special tools. Each sensor connects wirelessly to the central monitor, enabling real-time monitoring from the cabin.

Question 5

Which industries benefit most from TPMS systems?

Accepted Answer

PressurePro's TPMS system is ideal for: mining (mining trucks, heavy equipment), freight transport (commercial fleets, logistics), port operations (reach stackers, mobile cranes), forestry (harvesters, forwarders), agriculture (tractors, harvesters), and construction. Any operation with vehicle fleets benefits from failure prevention and cost optimization.
