Transense Technologies plc has released lower-cost versions of its Translogik TLGX3 and TLGX4 tyre inspection tools, aiming to broaden access to connected tyre management across fleets, OEMs and service providers. The updated pricing follows targeted product and manufacturing investments and retains full functionality. Both tools read pressure, tread depth and embedded RFID tags; the TLGX4 also reads common TPMS sensors, supporting faster inspections and digital record-keeping.
Transense says the revised pricing is designed to remove cost barriers while keeping capability intact. The TLGX3 reads tyre pressure, tread depth and RFID tags for rapid identification and lifecycle traceability. The TLGX4 adds the ability to read data from widely used TPMS sensors, allowing technicians to combine identification and condition checks in one handheld device.

Reading RFID tags embedded in tyres enables instant retrieval of serial, manufacturer, model and size data. Coupled with TPMS readings, inspection data is captured in seconds, supporting predictive maintenance and streamlined reporting. “RFID is now being embedded in tyres by leading manufacturers and TPMS is increasingly a legal requirement for commercial vehicles,” said Ryan Maughan, Managing Director at Transense Technologies. “By making our TLGX3 and 4 inspection tools more affordable, we’re giving fleet operators, OEMs and service providers, the ability to benefit from these technologies, delivering better accuracy, efficiency, and compliance at a price point that supports more widespread adoption.”
“RFID-enabled tools like the Translogik TLGX3 and TLGX4 eliminate manual tyre data entry, saving time and workload in the field and office. They improve accuracy across connected apps and solutions, while creating a big data foundation that supports the AI-driven fleet management solutions of tomorrow.” - Angelo Pingitzer, Product Manager, EMEA Service Network, Goodyear Germany.
Dealers report practical time savings when pairing RFID with dealer software. Christian Wilkening, Tyre Technician at Reifen Stiebling GmbH, said: “With RFID we save a lot of time. Comprehensive tyre information, including the unique identification number, is accurately retrieved in seconds. Having RFID makes vehicle inspections faster and checking tyres in and out of the warehouse easier, RFID makes the entire process better.”
Maughan added that lower pricing is aimed at fleets and service providers that have cited cost as a barrier: “Customers across the tyre and fleet sectors have told us cost has been a barrier to adoption. We listened and responded by delivering advanced, RFID and TPMS enabled inspection tools that are both affordable and scalable. This ensures our customers can meet today’s compliance and efficiency demands while preparing for tomorrow’s connected tyre ecosystem. For many customers, the lower cost means the tools pay for themselves within months.”
