Summer is tough on tires. Asphalt retains and radiates heat and compounds the problem of heat build-up. This causes issues such as wheel bearing problems or stuck brakes. The belts inside a tire can separate from the rubber at around 200 degrees, creating a safety issue for drivers and others near them.
The Doran tire monitoring system monitors pressure and temperature on connected tires, then alerts drivers when temperatures reach 175 degrees. If a tire reaches that temperature, the driver will receive a visual and audible warning on an in-cab display. This alert prompts the driver to pull over and allow their tires cool off to avoid a catastrophic event.
Further, Doran tire monitoring systems are available for all size and type fleets—from owner-operators to international fleets, including truck/trailers, ready mix/concrete, dump/construction, delivery vehicles, waste and recycling, hazmat, auto haulers, first responders, people transportation, bulk materials handling, and more. Doran also provides multiple options for fleet managers and equipment maintenance teams to receive real-time tire alerts, as well. Monitoring and continually reporting tire pressures and temperatures allows fleets to schedule repairs and corrections to reduce tire related maintenance costs, extend tread life, protect casings, and minimize catastrophic tire failures.
External, valve stem-mounted sensors pass tire pressure and temperature data to the in-cab monitor/display, providing drivers with real-time information. With the patented Green Means Good™ at-a-glance indicator, drivers can easily identify if there’s an issue with a tire. Additionally, Doran 360™ tire monitoring systems include visual and audible alerts for low pressure, rapid deflation events, and tire temperatures.
MAXIMIZE TIRE PERFORMANCE
Maintaining proper tire inflation pressure maximizes the performance of the tire, leading to reduced downtime while improving safety and efficiency. Designed to handle the extreme environmental conditions found on roadways across the nation, Doran tire monitoring systems account for heat, vibration, and the longevity needed for performance on the open road.
