It also ensures industry safety and maintenance standards are being met.

The TMSystem not only provides on board monitoring for operators, but also remote tyre monitoring via an On-line Telemetry System (SAFETRACS) to allow for fast and accurate tyre management information and reporting.

LSM Technologies TMSystems provide a balance of functionality, durability and cost effectiveness, and SAFETRACS makes tyre pressure management efficient, saving hours of labour time and costs, according to the company.

The TMSystem is simple to install and maintain on site, because the OTR Sensors are valve mounted, they can be screwed on, and removed when adjusting tyre pressures, it said.

Where Valve Extensions were not protected, steel magnetic mount valve protectors were installed prevent valve and OTR sensor damage.

Each machine is fitted with the In-Cabin LCD Display which provides Tyre Pressure and Temperature information with Audio and Visual Alarms.

LSM Technologies SAFETRACS provides real-time tyre pressure and temperature information, alerting and reporting via web based reporting, which can be accessed anywhere you have Internet connection.

The SAFETRACS system can auto report via email or SMS to maintenance supervisor or team to action pressure alerts.

All alerts are fully programmable via the web interface so you can determine how the system alerts you and to what level.
