Questions
Which Guardian size do I need?
One sensor for every tyre you want watched, spares included. Car and tandem van: 8. Add two spares: 10. Trucks: 18, 22 or 26.
When does the Guardian need its booster?
On its own it reaches up to 30 m. The booster takes it up to 60 m for long rigs, and adds $80.
Can I get internal sensors with the Guardian?
Guardian kits come with external sensors. They screw onto the valve and you fit them yourself. Internal sensors sit inside the tyre and a tyre shop fits them. We quote those by email.
Where does the Guardian screen go?
On the dash or the windscreen, your choice. It's solar charged.
Can I add tyres to a Guardian later?
The screen sets how many tyres it watches, so buy the size you'll need. Email us if your rig is changing.
Is the Guardian for trucks?
Yes. It comes in 18, 22 and 26-tyre kits for trucks and multi-trailer rigs. More than 26 tyres? Email us.
More than 26 tyres, or kitting out a fleet? Email us your tyre count.
