OTR and P.S.I. Integrate Tire Pressure Monitoring Tech into Off-Road Tires
OTR Engineered Solutions and Pressure Systems International (P.S.I.) are teaming up to bring tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) to the off-road market. This collaboration integrates P.S.I.’s TireView system into OTR’s pneumatic tire and wheel assemblies. The TireView system uses real-time data to monitor tire pressures and temperature, giving operators a clear view of tire health from anywhere.
TPMS Technology for Off-Road Equipment
The TireView system’s sensors track tire pressure and temperature in real-time. Operators can access data through an in-cab display, smartphone app or even the vehicle’s dash. This allows them to verify correct tire inflation and receive alerts for potential issues. For fleet managers, the system’s TireView LIVE portal provides remote access to tire and location data, enabling fleet-wide tire management.
The integration process is seamless, with plug-and-play functionality making installation quick and easy. By pairing OTR’s tire expertise with P.S.I.’s TPMS technology, this partnership is poised to improve tire safety, reduce downtime and extend tire life for various off-road applications, from construction to material handling. From the press release:
“P.S.I. recognizes OTR as a leading innovator when it comes to off-the-road tire and wheel technologies and is proud to partner with them to offer TireView’s TPMS sensors to their customer base. Real-time tire pressure and temperature alerts are important for vehicles of all types and configurations, and with the addition of TireView LIVE telematics, OTR and P.S.I. can now offer a fleet-wide solution for tire management,” said Craig Smith, Vice President Marketing and Communications, P.S.I.
Benefits for Equipment Managers
This TPMS integration offers several operational benefits:
- Real-time monitoring of tire pressure and temperature
- Easy installation with minimal setup required
- Remote fleet management through TireView LIVE portal
- Proactive issue detection, reducing the risk of tire-related breakdowns
- Maximized tire service life through consistent monitoring
As the technology continues to evolve, the collaboration between OTR and P.S.I. is setting the stage for safer, more efficient tire management in the off-road industry. From the press release:
“OTR is excited to announce our relationship with P.S.I. in the off-highway space,” said Ben Brown, Global VP of OEM Sales & Marketing for OTR. “P.S.I. is an industry leader and expert in TPMS technology. Pairing that with OTR’s robust tire design, wheel manufacturing, and mounting capabilities creates added value for our customers.”
Other Tools from OTR: Simplifying Tire and Track Selection and Ordering
In addition to this exciting TPMS partnership, OTR has been busy releasing new tools to enhance the customer experience.
Tracks Selection Tool
OTR’s new Tracks Selection Tool streamlines the process of choosing the right tracks for compact track loaders and mini excavators. This tool guides customers through an intuitive selection process, helping them find the perfect match based on their equipment make, model and application. It’s a practical solution that narrows down thousands of options to the best fit, ensuring cost-effective and efficient equipment operation.
Dealer Locator
OTR has also launched a Dealer Locator to help customers find authorized dealers quickly. By simply entering their zip code, users can access a list of nearby dealers and map out the most convenient location for their purchase or service needs.
New Customer Portal
OTR has also rolled out a customer portal for easy online ordering of tires, tracks and other products. The new otrb2b.com platform offers a user-friendly interface, allowing customers to order at any time of the day or night. Real-time inventory and convenient shipping options further streamline the process, making it easier than ever to manage tire and track needs.
CE Tire Stories to Keep on Your Radar
OTR’s new tools come at a time when tire technology is more important than ever in the off-road equipment space. Recently, Compact Equipment has covered essential tire topics for skid steers and utility tractors that are worth revisiting.
For example, our article on skid steer tires discusses pneumatic versus solid tires, helping operators choose the right option for their conditions. Pneumatic tires, while cost-effective, are vulnerable to punctures, while solid tires are nearly flat-proof and offer longer lifespan. But operators must consider traction needs and terrain before making a final decision.
Similarly, our recent coverage on utility tractor tires highlights the importance of selecting the correct R1, R3 or R4 tires based on specific applications. Whether you’re working in agriculture, construction or landscaping, having the right tires for your utility tractor ensures optimal traction, flotation and propulsion.
Stay tuned for more in-depth articles on tires and other essential off-road equipment topics, as OTR and other leaders in the field continue to innovate and make tire management easier than ever. For more information on OTR’s tire and track solutions, visit www.otrwheel.com.
