CRANE TYRES Ӏ SECTOR SPOTLIGHT
TMS LAUNCHES NEW TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR OTR VEHICLES
UK designer and manufacturer of tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) solutions TMS has launched a new product specifi cally aimed at industrial and off-the-road (OTR) vehicles, including mobile cranes. Technical advancements have been added to all areas of its TPMS system, including the hub, display, app and sensors. The system will work on any vehicle of any size, right up to 24 wheels. To provide the most resilient signal reception possible the new TPMS hub
has four separate antennas, connected to four independent receiver channels. This ensures the tyre pressure data will always be received even in the most extreme environments. Streamlined wiring in the TPMS is designed to simplify installation, while
a part of Bridgestone's 2024- 2026 business plan to focus on delivering value over volume as it strengthens its off-the-road (OTR) tyre business, which drives the company's premium tyre business. As the investment focuses on upgrading existing equipment the production volume will remain at current level.
PUSHING BOUNDARIES The critical role of tyres in the performance, safety, and efficiency of mobile cranes cannot be overstated and it seems tyre manufacturers are effectively meeting the demands of end users, pushing the boundaries of tyre technology. And as manufacturers expand
globally, invest in advanced production techniques, and refine their offerings, crane OEMs and crane users have better access than ever before to a wide array of high-performance tyre options tailored to meet their specific needs. This commitment to innovation
and quality ensures that mobile cranes can be used to tackle demanding lifting projects with confidence, even in the harshest conditions. Using the right tyres is not just about cost – it's a strategic decision that underpins the success of every lift.

the improved display has a larger screen whilst being more compact, so taking up less cab space and providing the driver with clear and quick tyre pressure checks on the new touchscreen. The driver is immediately warned of any tyre running outside of defi ned parameters. All the tyre data is stored in the central hub for later analysis and is made available via the API for connection to third party software platforms. Launched alongside the TPMS is a web app which allows users to access all
system settings and tyre data from their Smartphone, tablet or Windows PC. The app is used to both confi gure the TPMS system and to store and
analyse tyre pressure and temperature data – from a single vehicle to a whole fl eet. The app includes sophisticated summarising and visualising techniques to enable users to quickly highlight issues with tire pressure and/or temperature. Custom reports can easily be created to summarise tyre issues. The app can operate without internet connectivity for uninterrupted monitoring, even in remote locations. Security is handled by well-protected browsers, says TMS.
