TIREBOSS ™ solves a problem:
Truck tire pressure should be
variable, depending on load,
speed, and working conditions
Canadian Design and Construction Report
From its beginnings in 1996, Edmonton, AB based Tire
Pressure Control International Ltd. (TPC International) has
grown to be a global presence, providing on/off-road mo-
bility solutions for trucking applications in the forestry,
oilfield, concrete, agriculture, and power utility industries
with their TIREBOSS™ Tire Pressure Control Systems.

Founders and company vice-president Les Hinz and
president Brian Spreen, were instrumental in the imple-
mentation of the first Tire Pressure Control systems for
North American commercial truck transport applications.

They have 25+ years each in implementing Tire Pressure
Control Systems for the benefit of various industries
around the world.

Hinz says the first application addressed a need in
forestry and grew from there. Today the team supports
upwards of 8,000+ systems worldwide.

“We see our product addressing different needs in dif-

ferent regions around the world and in different indus-
tries,” he said. “In Florida, for instance, the application is
well suited to dealing with sand. In some industries, the
issue we address may be field compaction or road sensi-
tivity. In others, it may be mobility in the mud related to a
specific jobsite.”
An explanation on TIREBOSS's website explains the
benefits: “Tire inflation pressures are generally specified
to permit a vehicle to carry a full payload at highway
speeds without overheating its tires. Consequently,
when the vehicle is partially loaded, unloaded, or travel-
ing at reduced speeds, its tires are overinflated for the
operating conditions. Overinflated tires can contribute to
a variety of problems including poor mobility, increased
vehicle vibration, tire wear, an occurrence of tire punc-
tures and damage to the road surface.”
He says the company’s TIREBOSS system is benefi-
cial anywhere trucks are off-road or have mobility issues.
