Common Uses
Drop-and-Hook Fleets

Description
PressurePro is the only TPMS in the world that will work in the commercial trucking industry because of their patented Drop & Hook system. This system allows you to not only monitor all your truck tires in your fleet, but also allows you to monitor all your trailer tires within your fleet, and the monitoring is all done on a display by the driver. This solution allows you to monitor all your tires, not just half of them.

Once a trailer is hooked up to truck, the monitor will receive the tire information from the trailer, and monitor it until the trailer is dropped. When a trailer is dropped, the monitor will remove the trailer tire information, and wait for the next trailer to be hooked up and start to monitor those tires. This can be done with any combination of tractors and trailers that you need.

The Intelligent Drop-and-Hook System contains three basic components: Intelligent Monitor, Intelligent Repeater and Sensors.

PressurePro’s Intelligent Monitors, and corresponding Bridges and Repeaters, allow users to monitor up to 64 wheel positions on a primary (truck) and up to three trailers. The 34 Wheel Monitor features a Select (SEL) Button which allows users to disconnect from old trailers, and hook up to new trailers with ease.

The Intelligent Monitor (IM) looks and operates much like PressurePro’s standard Monitors. The ‘IM’ is mounted in-cab, displays tire pressure readings, and gives fleets the capability to read a tractor and up to 3 trailers simultaneously, allowing a total of 64 tire positions. The ‘IM’ can be substituted with a Bridge, for fleets only interested in remote readings and can integrate with your current or future telematics or management systems for remote monitoring.

The Intelligent Repeater (IR) is installed directly onto a trailer and hooks into the trailer’s power (ABS) line, allowing communication of the trailer’s Sensors with the PressurePro Monitor in the tractor. When the tractor and trailer are tethered, the Monitor in the tractor picks up the ID’s, pressures and positions of Sensors on the trailer from the ‘IR’. When the trailer is unhooked and there is no communication for 20 seconds, the Monitor in the tractor forgets that trailer and is open to look for another trailer. When a trailer with an ‘IR’ is introduced at hook-up, the Monitor recognizes the ‘IR’ and accepts its information. The tractor/trailer combo is now ready to go.

When a slow leak turns into a blown tire, the tire is the cheap part, fixing the damage the tire did is the costly part.
