Peace of Mind
 Smooth running tires assure peace of mind for drivers and passengers about their vehicles and their cargos.
With Tire Pressure Monitoring, PressurePro offers a system which constantly monitors tire pressure every 7 seconds.
Identify Problems BEFORE They Occur
Only about 15% of tire-induced breakdowns are due to sudden tire damage; the remaining 85% start with slow leaks. However, drivers usually notice this gradual air loss too late, and more serious consequences arise.
PressurePro identifies these slow leaks and warns the drive in time—before the tire risks irreversible damage.
DON’T NEGLECT
TRAILER TIRES
Keep them properly inflated with PressurePro!
Tire trailers account for more than half the tire-related fuel consumption, more than either steer or drive tires, so they stand to benefit the most from fuel-economy measures, Bridgestone says.
The trailer tires may belong to your carrier, but it’s your money that’s being wasted!

The driver can react immediately and avoid problems on the road—no need to stop suddenly, at night, in the rain, or to experience an accident.
PressurePro can detect tire pressure loss before a breakdown occurs. In addition, PressurePro makes it convenient for drivers or maintenance staff to know actual tire pressures. Correctly inflated tires ensure the best vehicle handling and shortest braking distances.
PressurePro regularly checks for low tire pressures and allows better planning for necessary stops. This helps avoid unexpected and unnecessary tire-induced vehicle down-times and the consequences they entail: contractual penalties, the need for rescheduling loads, damage to fleet reputation, etc.
In most cases, an investment in PressurePro will pay for itself on the very first occasion a puncture is detected, and prevents further major costs or downtime.
Pressure Pro Components
 The PressurePro™ tire pressure system consists of two basic components:
- Sensors - simply screw onto the valve stems, replacing the caps. Sensors continuously assess the tire pressures, and wirelessly transmit each tire’s pressure to the Monitor, located in the dash area. Check pressures even while driving down the road!
- Monitor – Reads up to 34 tires. Equipped with Velcro for dash mounting, a cigarette lighter receptacle plug/power cord and an attached antenna.
GO GREEN with PressurePro™!
The trucking industry already knows that under inflated tires are costly, but do you really understand all the ways it is costing you?
The Department of Transportation Economic Analyses estimates that 37% of all tires on American roadways are under inflated. Tires running low on pressure require more fuel to overcome rolling resistance, thus robbing you of getting better gas mileage and reducing tire costs.
Properly inflated tires will reduce wear and tear on your tires also, cutting down on accidents caused by blow-outs, etc. In addition, they have decreased truck tire life due to added bending and flexing of tread, adding additional tire/maintenance costs and downtime.
Even when the tire pressure is only slightly incorrect, the consequences include increased tire flexing which results in a significantly reduced tire service lifetime. Further, low tires require added distances for braking and cause deteriorated handling and performance, meaning less safety for yourself and others on the road.
In effect, your truck uses more fuel and also releases additional CO2 emissions, causing unnecessary pollution. Carbon Credits are quickly being recognized worldwide as an opportunity; lower Carbon emissions can only be an environmental help.
HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR TIRES LATELY?
PressurePro™ CHECKS THEM 12,340 TIMES A DAY!
Interesting Facts
Alerts - The PressurePro Monitoring system can activate an audible alarm, indicate which Tire Air Pressure has decreased significantly (Monitor beeps) and display the real-time pressures of all tires at any time, giving reliability and peace of mind.
Sensor trigger pressures are automatically set by the manufacturer to approximately 12% under the cold running pressure for each tire. (Monitor consumes about the same current as a car clock.)
Pressure Pro can be used on commercial trucks, fleet equipment as well as 5th wheel and School bus vehicles. No tools are required! Also, PressurePro is much more accurate than a tire gauge, and will alert to tire leaks before significant damage has occurred! Excellent performance is guaranteed!
Casing damage – Low tire pressures lead to casing damage which causes tire failure, zipper rips and blowouts.
Heat buildup – Heat is one of the leading causes of tire failure. Low tire pressure leads to excessive heat buildup in the tire.
 Fuel economy – Under-inflated tires waste over five million gallons of fuel each day or approximately two billion gallons per year in the U.S. alone.
Convenience/Safety – Tire Pressure Monitors and Sensors for trucks are quick, easy to use and install (no tools required); alleviates the time and effort of checking tire pressures manually. Be safer with properly inflated tires!
Protection – PressurePro™ can alert to low pressure when you need it most: when on the road at highway speeds (and possibly in remote areas) where a tire problem could be costly & dangerous.
Cause of over-heating - Under inflation is the major cause of over-heating, and contributes to:
- Tire disintegration
- Ply separation
- Sidewall/tread breakdowns
- Premature tire failure
- Excessive fuel use
- Decreased road safety
Benefits
- Cost effective
- Tire Monitors are reliable, durable and accurate
- Easily installed – No tools required
- The tire PressurePro™ monitors up to 34 tire positions
- Reliable FM signal reception; wireless RF signals – No wiring required
- Continuous tire pressure Monitoring, even when vehicle is parked
- The tire PressurePro™ monitors truck and towed vehicle tire pressures
- System is portable between vehicles
- The commercial truck tire pressure monitor reads tire pressures up to 199 psi
- Sensors mount externally on valve stems, replacing the valve stem caps
- No rebalancing required in most cases
- Audible and visual alerting
View current tire pressures at any time with the touch of a button. The Best Tire Pressure Monitoring System on the market today!
Known for quick and simple installation, PressurePro™ can easily be transferred between vehicles to accurately measure tire pressures at the touch of a button.
Unlike other TPMS products, i.e. the Doran system as well as others, PressurePro™ displays current pressures and alerts to low and high pressures while parked or on the move.
Downtime, Cost Increases
Interest in tire pressure monitoring, fueled by the increasing cost of petroleum, tires, insurance, downtime and maintenance costs, are sparking an interest like never before.
In every market, from auto/light truck, off road, heavy trucks, tractor/trailers and industrial equipment, fleets are recognizing the importance of tire pressure - on fuel use, tread wear, tire life, time performance, safety and now environmentally.
PressurePro™ is quickly becoming viewed as a must-have tool, capable of working as a stand-alone product displaying in the vehicle, or integrating with telematics to provide management information at the office/cell phone.
Prevents Truck Tire and Vehicle Damage!
A low-pressure tire will eventually overheat, causing premature truck tire failure and possibly a fire or vehicle damage. An audible alert warns of low tire pressure before driving becomes unsafe, giving you the opportunity to repair the tire before significant damage has occurred, thus minimizing cost and inconvenience.
Fixing a tire is less costly than buying a new one and/or repairing your vehicle!
Finest Truck Tire Monitoring System Available!
The PressurePro™ Wireless Monitoring is capable of displaying current tire pressure on demand, whether moving or stationary.
PressurePro™ is a Monitoring system and will not prevent tires from losing pressure or failing, but the tire Monitor can provide early notice of potential problems and assist in maintaining proper tire pressurization.
PressurePro™ can be used on all pneumatic tires, and is the finest tire Monitoring system on the market.
34 Wheel Monopole RS232 Truck Monitors
34 Wheel Monopole RS232 can monitor up to 34 wheel positions and tire pressures up to 199 PSI.
Known for quick and simple installation, PressurePro™ can easily be transferred between vehicles to accurately measure tire pressures at the touch of a button.
Unlike other TPMS products, PressurePro™ displays current pressures and alerts to low and high pressures while parked or on the move.
