For bulk haulier G. Webb, the rollout of ContiPressureCheck and ContiConnect Yard has helped the business improve tyre management and reduce maintenance costs. After a successful trial, our tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has been fitted to the majority of G.Webb’s fleet, with all new vehicles receiving the equipment upon delivery.
G. Webb was able to easily tailor our Digital Solutions package to reflect the needs of the business. Long-haul tippers and arctics are fitted with live telematic ContiConnect reporting, which is fed back to Paul at head office. These vehicles also sport the ContiPressureCheckTM in-cab display, providing real-time tyre pressures and alerting drivers when an issue is detected.
We were experiencing low tyre pressures and punctures on a relatively frequent basis but weren’t always aware of where, when or how they were happening, sometimes, we didn’t know that there was a problem brewing until we did our weekly tyre checks on a Saturday. The ContiPressureCheck system has helped eliminate that doubt.

ContiPressureCheck is highly versatile and compatible, using sensors mounted inside the tyre to help continuously monitor pressures and temperatures. The system can be easily retrofitted to many vehicles and its wireless radio technology allows for easy monitoring of trailers.
G. Webb also credits the system with supporting its approach to tyre safety, reliability and workshop efficiency. With a large fleet to keep in active service, the TPMS’ traffic-light warning system has helped Paul and his team manage downtime, plan work and regulate the flow of vehicles through the garage.
It’s quite hard for us to quantify the benefit that ContiPressureCheck™ has brought to our fleet because it helps us in so many ways. We’re saving on call-outs; we’re saving on lost tyres; and it helps us manage tyre safety. I’ve lost count of how many times it’s alerted us to an issue that we've then been able to address.
