Trucks with up to 6 tires
Compact systems for light and medium units that require individual pressure and temperature monitoring.
TPMS system for trucks and fleets
Improve the safety and profitability of your fleet with a system that monitors tire pressure and temperature in real time. It combines specialized hardware with our management platform to prevent failures, reduce operating costs and centralize preventive control according to the needs of your operation.
Tell us the unit type and number of tires so we can recommend a suitable configuration.
Without constant monitoring, a critical tire can cause breakdowns, delays and unplanned costs.
By unit type
Find the right TPMS system for your unit
Not every truck needs the same monitor, sensor count or signal range. The configuration must be selected considering the number of tires, the distance between the cab and the trailer, the valve type and the working pressure.
Semi-trucks
Configurations to monitor semi-truck positions with sensors installed directly on the valves.
Semi-truck and semi-trailer
Expandable systems to monitor tractor and trailer tires from a monitor installed in the cab.
Trailer with dolly or extended configuration
Equipment with capacity for more positions, plus accessories to improve communication between sensors and monitor.
Buses
Pressure and temperature monitoring for passenger transport units with multiple tire positions.
Heavy machinery
Sensors and valves for working conditions that require greater durability, high pressure or large-diameter connections.
What it is
What is a truck TPMS system?
A truck TPMS system individually monitors tire pressure and temperature during operation.
Sensors installed on each valve transmit the information to a monitor, which identifies the tire position and generates alerts when it detects a condition outside the configured parameters.
Unlike the basic systems used in cars, a heavy-transport TPMS must work with more wheels, longer transmission distances, higher operating pressures and configurations that may include a semi-truck, trailer, semi-trailer or dolly.
Tires that fail on the road cost more than those that are monitored
Without constant monitoring, a critical tire can cause breakdowns, delays and unplanned costs. Incorrect pressure accelerates wear and reduces tire lifespan.
01
Road breakdowns
A tire that fails in operation stops the unit and disrupts the entire plan.
02
Premature wear
Out-of-range pressure shortens tire lifespan and compromises the casing.
03
Insufficient inspections
Manually checking every unit every day is not always feasible.
How does pressure and temperature monitoring work?
The sensors measure every tire
Each sensor records the pressure and temperature of the position where it is installed.
The data is sent to the monitor
The monitor receives the readings and displays the status of the tires defined in the unit configuration.
The driver gets an alert
When a tire shows low pressure, high pressure, elevated temperature or rapid air loss, the system raises a warning.
The company can act before a failure
The alert allows inspecting the unit and making a decision before the condition damages the tire, strands the unit on the road or ruins the casing.
What a fleet TPMS monitors
Each sensor reports more than a number: combining pressure, temperature and behavior over time is what makes it possible to anticipate a failure.

What it includes
What does our truck TPMS system include?
The configuration may vary depending on the unit type and the number of tires.
TPMS monitor and Flotal app
It receives the sensor information, shows each position and generates alerts during operation. The Flotal app lets you see your TPMS monitor data on your phone.
Pressure and temperature sensors
They are installed on the valves to monitor each tire individually. There are different sensor types depending on pressure, valve type and working conditions.
See the pressure sensors for truck tiresValves and adapters
The valve must be compatible with the sensor, the wheel and the access needed to inflate the tire. There are different valves such as metal ones, T-type adapters, extensions or solutions for dual wheels.
See the valves for your truck tiresWireless signal booster
It helps improve communication between the sensors and the monitor when there is a considerable distance between the cab and the trailer.
It may be recommended for
- Long trailers.
- Semi-trailers.
- Dolly configurations.
- Units with multiple sections.
- Systems with more than 22 sensors.
Benefits of TPMS in a truck fleet
Detects air loss during operation
The system identifies a drop in pressure before the tire reaches a critical condition.
Alerts on temperature changes
An abnormal temperature rise can be related to low pressure, friction, brakes, bearings or other mechanical conditions that need review.
Helps protect the casing
Running a tire with insufficient pressure can cause damage that affects its retreading potential.
Complements manual inspections
TPMS provides individual readings on the road, without relying only on visual checks or thumping the tire.
Reduces unplanned downtime
Detecting an abnormal condition allows scheduling a review before the unit is stranded on the road.
Supports cost-per-kilometer control
Keeping pressures within the defined parameters helps control wear, service life and fuel consumption.
Improves visibility of every position
The monitor identifies tires by their position on the truck, semi-truck or trailer.

Comparison
TPMS versus manual inspection
Manual inspection
- It is done while the unit is parked.
- It depends on the procedure and consistency of the operator.
- It may miss a leak that starts during the trip.
- It does not provide continuous temperature monitoring.
- It may rely on a visual check or on thumping the tire.
TPMS system
- It monitors during operation.
- It provides individual readings.
- It generates alerts for pressure changes.
- It monitors temperature.
- It identifies each tire position.
- It complements maintenance and physical inspections.
TPMS does not replace safety checks, gauge calibration or tire maintenance: it is a safety and prevention tool.

Talk to an advisorHow many sensors does a semi-truck need? +
One sensor is required for each position you want to monitor. The amount depends on whether you include only the semi-truck or also the trailer, semi-trailer or dolly.
Does the system measure pressure and temperature? +
The available TPMS systems monitor pressure and temperature through sensors installed on the valves.
Can it be used on trailers and semi-trailers? +
Yes. The configuration must consider the distance between the sensors and the monitor. In some cases a signal booster is recommended.
Which system works for a 10-tire semi-truck? +
Talon 22 can be configured with 10 sensors and allows adding more positions later.
Which system works for 18 or 22 tires? +
Talon 22 is designed for configurations of up to 22 sensors, subject to the distance, unit type and required accessories.
Which system works for more than 22 tires? +
X-Treme 38 targets extended heavy transport configurations and can monitor up to 32 positions.
Can the sensors be installed on dual wheels? +
Yes, as long as the valve is accessible and compatible. They may require extensions, adapters or T-type valves.
Which valve does a TPMS sensor need? +
It depends on the wheel type, pressure, position and inflation access. Flotal offers valves and adapters for different truck configurations.
Does TPMS work without contracting the Flotal software? +
Yes. There are configurations that work with a standalone monitor. Integrating with Flotal adds centralized management and tire life cycle control.
Does TPMS replace manual inspections? +
No. TPMS complements physical inspections, gauge calibration and preventive maintenance.
Can I install additional sensors? +
It depends on the monitor capacity. Talon 6, Talon 22 and X-Treme 38 support different sensor counts.
