ASA Electronics announced a collaboration with trailer maker TriStar Manufacturing to offer customers a safer experience with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) by iN·Command. Tristar Manufacturing makes a variety of trailers, including utility, dump and goosenecks, and they are all made in the USA.
“Partnering with ASA Electronics aligns with our mission to ensure the safety of trailer users,” says Mike Cheek, chairman at Tristar. “Every trailer owner deserves to know the condition of their tires. We have it on our cars, and we should have it on our trailers. We are proud to partner with ASA as the leading manufacturer of TPMS.”
Tristar Manufacturing is the first trailer manufacturer to install TPMS on every unit across all its product lines, making it standard for every customer.
Jeff Gray, vice president of the Trailer Division at ASA, said that the partnership will play a tremendous part in helping keep people safe.
“Making TPMS a standard feature on every trailer they build, from the entry-level utility trailer through their whole lineup, just shows Tristar’s commitment to safety,” he said. “TPMS has been a standard feature in the automotive world for over a decade, and we are all accustomed to having a sense of security for our personal vehicles. We are thrilled to partner with a company that values safety just as much as we do.”
The iN·Command TPMS system is equipped with a Bluetooth repeater that strengthens the signal, enabling its use on longer trailers. This system provides the driver with information on the temperature and pressure of each tire, sending mobile alerts when it falls outside of optimal ranges. A data record is stored to establish individual tire history for identifying potential problematic tires over time.
