He says the company’s TIREBOSS system is benefi-
cial anywhere trucks are off-road or have mobility is-
sues. Related to the concrete industry, he says benefits
include a cost-effective alternative to all-wheel drive, im-
proved mobility and traction, better site access and re-
duced site damage. Vehicle maintenance costs are also
reduced from the smoother ride and less vibration.
“The product can be installed on, and transferred to,
any truck so it provides a long lasting solution. It also in-
creases the life of tires by ensuring they are always at
the correct pressure at various stages of the haul
cycle.” The technology can be applied to any vehicle from
delivery trucks to pumpers, to ready-mix vehicles.
Hinz says safety is a key focus of TPC and built into
TIREBOSS. The technology has been designed to moni-
tor the vehicle’s speed and to alert the driver if the tire
pressure should be adjusted, and will automatically in-
flate the tires if the alerts are ignored.
“Safety is a big focus of what we do. From the sys-
tem design to the training tools and on the ground train-
ing we provide drivers, we work to ensure driver safety.”
Hinz says that TIREBOSS is a long term quality
product. Part of the company’s reputation, he says, is
based on its strong technical support, and in part on
TPC’s success serving its clients so they can better
serve their clients. “Our focus is our client, on ensuring
they are well taken care of, that the system is working
efficiently, that any issues are addressed, and that the
customer is as happy in year one as year 10.”
