Rentability of tyre managementYou have probably been told about the possibility to make huge
savings by using TPMS on your fleet vehicles. According to some
salespeople, you can get an extra 40% of usage from tyres that have
already driven 400,000 or 500,000 km. It sounds great, of course,
but we all know that it is not realistic.

Do my tyres cost me too much ?A good tyre management system provides savings for you:
FH: "Since we installed b.Alert TPMS V2, we have had virtually no problems with our tyres anymore. At the same time we notice that the tyres are in a much better shape than before and that we have much less work to keep it that way. I am sure that this will bring cost savings. "
When should I check tyre pressures?
So, Which tyres should I inflate?This is the key to
working efficiently. Every week 2-3% need inflating, barely
40 tyres out of 1,800 on a fleet of 300 trailers for
example. How do I know which 40?
With b.Alert
TPMS V2,
the exact tyres that need inflating are simply identified.
To what pressure should I inflate tyres?
The correct pressure to inflate to at any particular moment is likely to be different each time. This pressure can be easily calculated if you know the temperature of the air in the tyre. The calculation is based
on knowing the correct pressure at a reference temperature, for
example 15 ° C.
How hot does a tyre get in the summer? An example:
But 10 bar at 106 ° C means 7.6 bar at 15 ° C, which is well below the correct pressure of 9 bar at 15 ° C. This tyre is seriously underinflated and needs inflation upto 11.8 bar!
DV : "We have known for a long time that in the summer we have to put more pressure in the tyres than in the winter in order to keep the pressures consistent. We also know that we need to put hot tyres on a higher pressure after driving. We just never knew what the right pressure was. But b.Alert has solved this for us."
Are blow outs predictable?
Both the first two causes are relatively long upfront detectable (at least 30 minutes). If alarmed in time, the correct measures can be taken.
AS : "We drive a
lot to Southern Europe. Always long drives and very hot tyres. For
yearswe are confronted with a lot of blowouts, especially on the
inner wheels. They inflict an explosion of the outer tyres with a
lot of collateral damage.
Are you worried that brakes rub, bearings fail, brake pads crack, ... ?Each of these problems create heat in the air outside but around the wheel and the b.Alert temperature sensor can quickly detect it.
MJ : "When we installed b.Alert TPMS V2, we got a few temperature alarms. I thought they were false alarms, but the cause was worn bearings. Luckily we got early warning, were able to intervene in time and avoid damage, costs and disruption."
