The PressurePro TPMS package can now be used efficiently along with the Trimble SNM451 Connected Site Gateway telematics device. This permits full tyre performance data to be used more efficiently within machine and vehicle fleets, expanding the functionality of the versatile and cost-effective SNM451.

The SNM451 is a ruggedised telematics device for tracking and managing the efficiency of site assets, light equipment and haul vehicles. It is used within Trimble’s Web-based VisionLink fleet, asset and site productivity management solution.

Offering asset location, run time, cycle time and load count information via cellular connection, the SNM451 brings vital, real-time information and alerts direct to customers.

Users now have access to a full range of tyre performance data including real-time pressure and temperature readings.
