In mining, every minute of uptime matters. With massive machines operating around the clock, the stakes are high: unplanned equipment downtime can cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour in lost productivity, repairs, and safety risks. One often overlooked—but incredibly impactful—solution is Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). And with innovations like the Doran TPMS App, TPMS technology is more powerful and accessible than ever for the mining sector.
Heavy equipment in mining—haul trucks, loaders, graders, and more—relies on OTR (Off-The-Road) tires that can cost $10,000 to $50,000 each. Improper inflation can lead to:
Running even 5% under-inflated can shorten a tire’s lifespan dramatically. But traditional maintenance routines rely on manual checks that are time-consuming and provide only moment-in-time data—often too late to prevent damage.
That’s where TPMS comes in.
TPMS technology constantly monitors tire pressure and temperature, alerting operators and maintenance teams in real time if anything is out of spec. This provides the opportunity to take immediate corrective action before a minor issue turns into a major failure.
Doran Manufacturing, a leader in tire pressure monitoring since 2001, has spent more than a decade in improving and refining TPMS solutions for the demanding off-road environments of mining, construction, and heavy industry. After years of development and field testing—including compatibility with tire fill liquids like Tire Life—their systems are now in use on equipment operating in mines around the world.
The newest innovation from Doran is the Doran TPMS App, a powerful new offering in their product lineup. Designed for both single-machine operators and large-scale operations, the app gives users real-time, mobile access to tire health data directly from their equipment.
Whether you’re a technician in the field or a fleet manager back at base, the Doran TPMS App keeps you informed and in control—reducing guesswork, increasing safety, and preventing costly downtime.
Mining environments are notoriously brutal—dust, extreme temperatures, vibrations, and corrosive liquids. Doran’s TPMS hardware is built to endure it all. Their valve stem-mounted sensors are:
And unlike internal sensors that require tire dismounting for installation or servicing, Doran’s external sensors can be swapped or serviced in minutes—keeping machines running and maintenance streamlined.
From small quarries to sprawling open-pit mines, Doran’s TPMS platform is built for flexibility. The system scales from:
Additionally, YardCheck 360 allows for off-vehicle monitoring in the pit or quarry without cellular or satellite data fees via fixed wireless gate readers. Assets automatically upload pressure/temperature data every 15 minutes—ideal for large fleets or remote monitoring.
Mining companies using Doran TPMS report:
In one real-world case, every haul truck that received a new Doran TPMS installation had at least one critically underinflated tire—information that would have previously gone unnoticed until a failure occurred.
Downtime in mining doesn’t just cost money—it cascades through your entire operation. A single tire failure can halt a haul route, delay production, and trigger expensive emergency repairs. That’s why investing in Doran’s TPMS—now paired with the power of the Doran TPMS App—is one of the smartest, fastest-returning decisions a mine operator can make.
With rugged, liquid-compatible sensors, real-time alerts, and scalable fleet insights from pit to platform, Doran helps you:
Whether you're operating a few trucks or managing a multi-site fleet, Doran's mining TPMS solutions are built to grow with you.
