TPMS for construction and light machinery Wheel loaders, forklifts, lifts, telehandlers and light plant. Read it with a phone — and if your requirement needs long range, we will tell you which product you actually want.
Describe the machine See the sensorRead this first, because it decides whether we are the right supplier. A sensor in the 2.4 GHz band pairs with a phone and needs no receiver. That is the whole point of it, and it is also its limit: the range is shorter than a 433.92 MHz system, and 2.4 GHz is more easily blocked by steel.
So the honest split is this: if your equipment is checked by someone walking up to it with a phone, we are probably the cheaper and simpler answer. If you need continuous monitoring of a fleet, readings fed into a machine's own controller, or a receiver in a cab, then a 433.92 MHz system is the right product — that is our industrial range on gzvia.com, and we will say so rather than sell you the wrong platform.
Where a phone-read sensor fits
| Wheel loaders & backhoes | Few machines, checked on site, tyre pressure that gets neglected between services. |
|---|---|
| Forklifts | Hard-working tyres, a fixed yard, and a supervisor who can walk the row with a phone. |
| Aerial lifts & telehandlers | Machines that sit for periods and then go out — the classic case for a pressure check before dispatch. |
| Light plant & site equipment | Trailers, compressors, small dumpers: any wheel where nobody currently checks the pressure. |
Where it does not fit, and what to use instead
| Long-range reception into a fixed device | A 433.92 MHz system with a receiver. |
|---|---|
| Readings into the machine's own controller | A receiver with a CAN or serial output, or our industrial range. |
| Central fleet visibility with alarms pushed to an office | A receiver based system, not a phone. |
| Mining and heavy haul fleets | Our industrial range — see the truck and heavy-vehicle page for how the two compare. |
What the sensor gives you
- Pressure and temperature, per wheel — marked by position at the factory, so a reading is never ambiguous.
- Trend, not a single number — a machine that loses pressure slowly is visible before it becomes a flat on site.
- Nothing to wire — no receiver to mount on a machine that already has enough electronics.
- Replaceable CR1632 — changing the cell does not disturb the pairing.
Built for the environment
- IP68 sealing — dust, mud, pressure washing.
- −20 °C to +80 °C operating range.
- Up to 256 wheel positions on one installation, if the fleet grows beyond a single machine.
What we need to tell you whether it fits
- The machine type and the number of wheels.
- Who checks the tyres today, and how often.
- Where the reading has to end up: a phone, a cab, or a control room.
- The tyre size and normal inflation pressure.
Those four answers decide the platform. With them we can tell you in one reply whether this sensor is right, or whether the answer is our 433.92 MHz range — and we would rather say the second thing than start a project that disappoints.
