The document summarizes a Tyre Pressure Monitoring and Inflation System called the TPH hub. The TPH hub is a device that fits onto truck and trailer wheels to monitor and manage tyre pressure. It consists of a hub with two air gauges and air lines connected to the tyre valves to make inflating easy. The TPH system aims to improve safety, reduce costs from fuel and tyres, and lower greenhouse emissions by enabling accurate and constant monitoring of tyre pressure.
Tyre Pressure Hub TPH Presentation
- 1. Tyre Pressure Monitoring and Inflation System
- 2. Our Mission To sustain growth by Honesty, Integrity and Service, providing the best customer experience and support. Vision Statement Our vision is to manufacture, and market the Tyre Pressure Hub to the Australian Heavy Transport Industry and overseas markets. This device is to have ease of monitoring accurately a constant tyre pressure on trucks and trailers, that will enable transport companies to manage their tyre pressures. The benefits for operators are improved safety, reduced fuel and tyre costs, and reduced green house emission.
- 3. Our product The tph hub is a device that has specifically been designed to manage and monitor truck and trailer tyres. The tph hub can be fitted to any 8 & 10 stud wheel on trucks, trailers and Steer tyres. It consists of a hub designed with two air gauges that have been fitted. Two air lines connected to the valves of the tyres. There are two points (valves) on the tph hub that make inflating the inner and outer wheels as easy as pumping up car tyres. With the optional tph inflation kit fitted the operator can inflate tyres when necessary anywhere, on the road.
- 4. Typically tyre pressure is monitored by: 1. Kicking the tyre 2. Hitting the tyre with a stick 3. Looking at it 4. Waiting for the tyre to roll off the rim These practices are outdated and do not belong in a healthy, competitive, and accountable transport environment. Clever operators want more! Operators want a clever, cost effective and simple answer to an age old problem. They want a system to manage tyre air pressure, not just a system that shows your tyre is flat. When you realise the tyre is flat it is too late and has already cost you hundreds of dollars. Today the transport industry is very focussed on maximising their return on investment by addressing issues relating to fuel, tyres, safety and compliance. INCORRECT TYRE PRESSURE
- 5. Tph tyre pressure management system has the solution to four main areas that impact on transport. TYRES By fitting TPH to your vehicles you will achieve better tyre life, less punctures, less callouts, and improve productivity. This is achieved by daily maintaining the correct tyre pressures suited to your vehicles. FUEL By using TPH and having the correct daily maintained tyre pressures, the rolling resistance will be at the optimum thus resulting in better K/P/L. SAFETY Having TPH fitted to your vehicles will eliminate the risk of drivers starting their shift and not knowing how much air is in their tyres, thus eliminating risk to them and the general public’s safety. Drivers and staff training will be provided and signed off with the best practices guide for using and inflating tyres ENVIRONMENT Vehicles fitted with TPH and maintaining the correct tyre pressures will result in using less tyres and fuel. 1 2 3 4
- 6. Safety and Compliance Safety for drivers and the general public are important for the transport industry. Truck drivers and owners are under constant scrutiny to continuously focus on ways to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries in accordance with regulative bodies e.g.. Worksafe, RTA, OH&S and the public. Under OH&S law the truck is classed as “the workplace”. Therefore the truck is under all the governing rules that regulate for a safe and accident free environment. Trucks and trailers with low tyre pressure may be unroadworthy, leading to unsafe workplaces which increase the risk and danger to the general public.
- 7. There are four major components that make up the hub. 1. Hub 2. Gauges 3. Airline and fittings 4. Inflation kit TPH has tested many gauges and fittings to achieve the best components for the unit in regards to gauge quality, air leaks, appearance and costs. Point notes are: •Safety •Environment •Fuel Saving •Actual air gauge measuring •Tyre saving •Tyre pressure operator records •Appearance •Easy to inflate

- 14. B A X X Fitting Instructions: 1. Remove 8 wheel nuts, leaving only the 2 wheel nuts marked as “X” – Shown left 2. Place hub on wheel and refit all wheel nuts 3. Take hose “B”, screw the non-swivel end into Rear air valve on tyre; then attach the swivel end onto hub where the gauge indicated as “R”. 4. Take hose “A”, as per picture above, screw into Front air valve on tyre; wrap around behind and bring up through hole in wheel and connect to hub as indicated on gauge as “F”. 5. To remove hub, reverse the steps above. Operating Instructions The purpose of having the tph hub installed is to monitor and manage your tyre pressures for your determined level of pressure and conditions for your tyres. To add air to your tyres, place tap provided onto the relevant air valve (“F” or “R”). Note when air line is hooked up to the tap, to see the current tyre pressure the tap must remain switched OFF. It is recommended to check your tyre pressure when it is cold. You will also note that the air pressure will increase with temperature and road conditions. Click here to see fitting demonstrations
