The new Trelleborg TLC Plus App is an advanced, sensor-based check-up system, which measures potential tyre pressure gaps between the optimal pressure and the actual tyre inflation pressure and relays this information via wireless connectivity to the farmer’s mobile device, or their PC.
TRS Tyre & Wheel, owned by Trelleborg Wheel Systems, are New Zealand’s largest specialist supplier of tyres and wheels for off-highway applications including agricultural, materials-handling, earthmoving and construction industries. Being part of the Trelleborg family means that TRS now have access to the latest technological innovations from Trelleborg including the TLC Plus units which are now available in NZ.
Adopting the right pressure can reduce farming variable costs by over 20%. Indeed, the right tyre pressure reduces fuel consumption, while increasing traction power and crop yields, protecting and enhancing the modern farming business.
The new TLC Plus was conceived and engineered by Trelleborg to meet the challenges of modern and future farming. While the standard functionalities of the TLC permit the precise calculation of the appropriate pressure for any application, the new TLC plus premium functionalities check whether the machine fleet is actually set with the optimal tire pressure and recommend adjustments where and when needed.
This is possible through a TLC Plus KIT, which integrates the App with TMPS sensors (which are mounted on the tire valves), and a gateway that enables data transmission to mobile devices. In addition, thanks to cloud technology, the tools permit the management of tractor fleets remotely, allowing farmers to assess whether the machines are working with the appropriate pressure from their office. This configuration ensures maximum safety and efficiency for operations on mega-farms and for contractors, who operate with large fleets of machines.
As part of the NZ launch, TRS are offering a free TLC plus system with purchases of a set of four Trelleborg radial tractor tyres during the month of February. For more information call 0800 336 334
