What the cab display is for
A gauge in the yard tells you what the tire is doing while the truck is parked. It does not tell the driver what the tire does at highway speed, on a grade, or an hour after a valve starts to seep. The cab is where the driver already is. Putting the reading there is the difference between a system the truck carries and a ritual the yard hopes somebody finished.
The film shows two ways the driver sees the system. One is the handheld receiver, with power, mute, a screen, truck positions 1 through 6, trailer positions 1 through 4, Pre-trip, and Learn. The other is the cabin display that shows pressure and temperature. In one moment that cabin screen reads 104 PSI and 53°F. Write that down as a frame from the film, not as the product’s operating range. The useful fact is that pressure and temperature are both on the screen the driver can look at.
Security is what that screen is for. The display stores the date and time of a low-pressure, high-pressure, or temperature problem. A driver who felt a shake at 2 a.m. and a shop that sees the truck at 9 a.m. are no longer guessing which tire and which hour. The next driver taking the same tractor does not inherit a story. The story is on the display. That is security for the people responsible for the truck, not a gadget for its own sake.
Safety still starts at the tire. On a dual, the wireless transmitter equalizes pressure between the two tires and monitors low and high pressure, so the truck drives balanced. The cab display is how the driver knows the system saw a problem. Without the display, equalization can be happening and the company still has no record. With the display, low pressure, high pressure, and temperature each leave a time. The film’s closing line is that TPMEQS ensures optimal tire pressure and performance wherever you go. The cab is the “wherever.”
Fleets lose time when a tire event becomes a meeting. Who checked it. Which axle. Was it hot before the mountain or after. A stored date and time cuts that meeting down. It does not replace a repair. It tells you which position to walk to, on the truck or on the trailer. Positions 1 through 6 and 1 through 4 are marked because a driver should not have to translate a blinking light into a wheel in the dark.
Value is fewer surprises between the yard and the receiver. The kit in the film includes the handheld, the cabin display, the sensor bars, the repeater, antennas, and the power lead. The repeater is placed inside the steering-axle wheel. The receiver is mounted where the driver can see it. The current site calls the kit all-in-one and built in the USA. Those are site claims. The film shows the parts in the box and the screen in the cab.
Install is about five minutes a sensor and about forty minutes for the truck, with the trailer very similar. That is a short job compared with a week of unexplained tire wear and no time stamp to explain it. Every truck and every trailer needs the Greenbox for safety, security, and value. The display is the security piece: you can see it, and you can see when it happened.
