The requirements for specialty tyres are particularly high. They are designed for high-performance vehicles and are used, for example, on loaders, tractors and port and terminal vehicles. ContiConnect Lite helps fleet managers to monitor the condition of their tyres.
Martijn Oosterbaan of Continental says, “Our offering is suited to smaller fleet customers, such as those at recycling centres, asphalt mixing plants and container handling facilities.”
Self-register
The app requires no additional hardware other than the Gen2 tyre sensor and a mobile device. “Drivers or fleet managers simply self-register themselves via Smartphone,” Martijn explains. They can then modify the vehicle and connect their vehicles via Bluetooth with the sensor inside the tyre and access a limited version of the ContiConnect App.
In total, three users can be registered free of charge. If there is a change in tyre pressure or temperature, drivers are immediately informed via push notification.
Forklifts and reach stackers
Driving forward the digitalisation of fleets is the ContainerMaster Radial with Gen2 sensor for large forklifts and reach stackers in port terminal operations.
Then there’s the EM-Master and LD-master product lines which are available for construction machines and loaders, and the VF TractorMaster Hybrid for tractors.
Digital tyre management helps to achieve maximum service life, which reduces the total cost of ownership and promotes sustainable use of materials.
