Tire pressure monitoring system

Esco’s tire pressure monitoring system is designed to read and record abnormal air loss over a period of time due to a puncture or leak in the tire/rim and also to detect heat buildup in tires. The system is installed inside the wheel/tire cavity in the drop center of the wheel to help prevent damage or theft. A hook-and-go feature allows the driver to hook up to any trailer equipped with the system with no need to register TPMS sensors to the tractor. A gate receiver can collect the data that is stored in the display unit’s memory.
