New Doran 360HD wireless sensors are proven to withstand temperatures up to 257 degrees that can occur in trucks tasked with heavy loads and stop-and-go driving.


The ability to withstand such severe heat stress allows the valve stem mounted sensors to continuously take tire pressure readings and transmit them to the in-cab display monitor. The combination of the materials and encapsulation method that is used during the manufacturing process forms a barrier against extreme heat, allowing these units to function in adverse conditions. With 'at- a-glance' status updates including a new patent pending "Green Means Good" indicator, the Doran 360HD is ideal for fleets which must endure the rigors of frequent stops and starts - like refuse vehicles, recycling trucks, and delivery fleets, according to the company.

"High temperatures in the wheels of the truck are typical with frequent stops and starts," said Doran GM Jim Samocki. "While other tire pressure monitoring systems may suffer from failures at elevated temperatures (and are thus unable to function) the sensor material, potting process and unique three-piece seal design of the Doran 360HD sensors provide a powerful line of defense against extreme heat. This added protection allows waste haulers, recycling trucks, delivery vehicles and other trucks tasked with carrying heavy loads and stop-and-go driving to stay protected and avoid under-inflation problems with our system."

This next generation system monitors up to 36 tires for truck, tractor and trailer applications with wireless tire pressure sensors that are screwed on to the valve stems and transmit a signal to a monitor in the cab. The driver is alerted through audible and visual alarms that provide a warning signal and identify the location and pressure of the problem tire. In addition, a new "Fast Leak" alarm is built in to the system to provide drivers with the information they need to quickly become ware of low tire-pressures so they can be addressed and costly breakdowns and catastrophic tire failures can be avoided.

The system works with traditional dual-tire configurations or wide-base single tire applications.

Installation can be accomplished in about an hour per truck/trailer. A simple to understand and operate monitor includes a digital LCD screen with backlit display and comes equipped with 4-way navigational buttons. Spin-welded, heavy-duty, truck-tested wireless tire pressure sensors are corrosion resistant and deliver the longest life on the market. Additionally, a patent-pending "sleep" mode ensures that the vehicle stays protected at all times. With this unique feature activated, tire pressures continue to be monitored, but triggered warnings are withheld until the driver turns the ignition on in the morning.
