Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems for Mobile Cranes
Mobile cranes operate under intense conditions where tyre performance is critical for safety, stability, and efficiency. High load weights, uneven terrain, and prolonged operation put significant stress on tyres — making tyre pressure and temperature management essential.
TyrePal’s Mobile Crane TPMS solutions are designed specifically for heavy industrial vehicles that demand constant, accurate feedback from every tyre. By using proven wireless sensor technology, operators gain live pressure and temperature data that helps protect equipment, reduce downtime, and improve on-site safety.
Why Tyre Pressure Monitoring Matters for Mobile Cranes
A mobile crane’s tyres are its foundation. Under-inflation can lead to sidewall damage, increased fuel use, and even tyre blowouts under heavy loads. Over-inflation, on the other hand, reduces grip and accelerates wear.
Traditional manual checks are time-consuming and often impractical for large or frequently moving machinery. That’s where TyrePal TPMS technology delivers clear advantages — continuous, automatic monitoring with instant alerts if any reading drifts outside set limits.
By tracking pressure and temperature in real time, operators gain early warning of developing issues — such as a slow puncture or overheating caused by brake drag — before they result in downtime or damage.
The Heart of the System: TC215 Monitor
At the centre of TyrePal’s crane TPMS setup is the TC215 monitor — a robust, cab-mounted display that provides real-time readings from each sensor.
The TC215 continuously shows tyre pressure and temperature values, updating automatically as the vehicle moves. Audible and visual alerts trigger when a tyre goes outside set thresholds, allowing the operator to respond immediately.
For mobile cranes that operate in noisy, high-vibration environments, the TC215’s clear screen and simple interface make it easy to monitor conditions at a glance. The monitor supports multiple sensors, making it suitable for cranes with several axles or auxiliary tyres.
Heavy-Duty Sensor Options for Every Crane Type
TyrePal offers three sensor types to match different mobile crane configurations and operating environments:
TCSE External Sensors
The TCSE external sensors are quick to install, simply screwing onto the tyre valve stem. They are ideal for cranes where internal fitting is difficult or time-consuming. Each sensor transmits accurate pressure and temperature data directly to the monitor. Their compact design makes them practical for on-site or in-fleet maintenance without wheel removal.
TCSF Flow-Through Sensors
The TCSF flow-through sensors allow tyres to be inflated or deflated without removing the sensor. This makes pressure adjustment faster and safer — particularly useful for cranes that frequently travel between job sites and need regular tyre checks. These sensors are designed for high pressure ratings, making them well suited to the demands of heavy construction vehicles.
TCSH Heavy-Duty Sensors
The TCSH sensors are engineered for extreme conditions. Designed for large tyres and high-load mobile cranes, they offer increased durability, superior sealing, and extended battery life. When operating in harsh environments, these sensors provide reliable data even under constant vibration and temperature variation.
All three sensor types are compatible with the TC215 monitor, allowing flexibility in system configuration to match the specific needs of your crane fleet. Our systems can measure from 2 to 22 wheels, and pressures up to 188psi / 13 bar
Extending Range with the TCRR-2 Signal Repeater
Large mobile cranes often have long wheelbases and complex chassis layouts that can interfere with wireless signals. The TCRR-2 Signal Repeater boosts signal strength and reliability between sensors and the monitor.
Installed midway between the sensors and the cab, the repeater ensures stable communication even on cranes with multiple axles or when sensors are positioned far from the driver’s cab. This provides consistent, uninterrupted data transmission — a vital feature for maintaining visibility across all tyres during extended operation.
Key Benefits of TyrePal TPMS for Mobile Cranes
Early detection of pressure loss: Identify leaks or punctures before they cause costly delays.
- Improved operational safety: Maintain correct pressures to support stability during lifting operations.
- Reduced tyre costs: Prevent premature wear caused by under-inflation or overheating.
- Lower maintenance downtime: Resolve minor issues early without waiting for failure.
- Consistent signal reliability: Use the TCRR-2 repeater for large or multi-axle machines.
These benefits translate into smoother operations, lower running costs, and greater confidence in every project.
Simple Installation and Integration
TyrePal TPMS kits for mobile cranes are designed for straightforward installation. External and flow-through sensors can be fitted within minutes, while internal sensors can be installed during standard tyre servicing. The TC215 monitor and TCRR-2 repeater integrate cleanly into the cab and chassis without complex wiring.
Each system is supplied pre-programmed and tested, with clear setup instructions and full UK-based support available.
