TIRE HAZARD ALERTING SYSTEM
Systems for detecting and monitoring tire pressure and temperature during a tire repair or replacement procedure are provided. The systems are configured to communicate a warning signal to a plurality of individuals (e.g., tire maintenance personnel) upon the tire pressure or temperature exceeding a defined threshold (e.g., upon the tire pressure or temperature entering a dangerous range). The system generally includes three categories of components, namely, components associated with a truck (or large work machine) and the tire being analyzed; a tire handler component; and a device that is worn (or held) by tire maintenance personnel, with such components being configured to wirelessly communicate with each other.
