How does the TWD-1500 work?

The TWD-1500 uses a purpose-built sensor system designed specifically for trailers, not repurposed car tech. Each sensor monitors the axle at its most vulnerable point, capturing precise hub and bearing temperatures while also tracking tire pressure and tire heat in real time.

The system then compares data across all wheels and axles, looking for early warning signs like uneven heating, slow leaks, or stress from heavy loads. If something’s wrong, you get an instant alert. Long before it becomes a blowout, a seized bearing, or a roadside emergency.

This proactive protection means you don’t just know when a problem happens, you know before it happens. Whether you’re hauling horses, equipment, a boat, or your family’s camper, the TWD-1500 keeps watch so you can haul with confidence.

Will this work on my trailer?

Absolutely! The TWD-1500 is designed to turn any trailer into a smart trailer. No matter the size, style, or axle type. From horse trailers to flatbeds, campers to utility haulers, TWD installs easily and works seamlessly.

If it’s a trailer, TWD makes it smarter, safer, and ready to protect what matters most. Adding instant peace of mind to every mile.

What's the difference between the TWD-1500 Standard and Commercial?

Same proven technology, sized for different rigs.

The TWD-1500 Standard covers single, double, and triple axle trailers — campers, boats, horse trailers, utility trailers, and everything in between. Starting at $395.

The TWD-1500 Commercial & Fleet is built for dually axles and quad axle configurations — flatbeds, semi-trailers, heavy equipment haulers, and multi-wheel commercial setups. Starting at $695.

Both include the same Bluetooth 5 mesh network, magnetic axle sensors, TPMS tire sensors, and smartphone app. The only difference is the number of sensors matched to your wheel and axle count.

What's the range? Will it work on long trailers?

The TWD-1500 uses a Bluetooth 5 mesh listening network — not a single-point receiver like traditional TPMS systems. That means every sensor acts as part of the network, relaying data across your entire trailer. No repeaters, no boosters, no signal gaps.

Whether you’re running a 20-foot utility trailer or a 53-foot commercial rig, every sensor broadcast is heard. Missed TPMS updates are a thing of the past.

For trailers over 30 feet, select the extended harness option at checkout (no extra charge) for additional wiring length.

Will I need to remove my tires to install the TPMS sensors?

Not at all. The TWD-1500 TPMS sensors are designed for quick, tool-free installation. They simply screw onto your existing tire valve stems. No tire removal, no special equipment, no downtime.

Just open the app, attach the sensors, and your trailer is instantly smarter, safer, and ready to roll. Giving you peace of mind in minutes, not hours.

Is the TWD-1500 hard to install?

The TWD-1500 is designed for a fast, no-hassle install. Be up and running in under an hour. All you need are basic hand tools and a drill.

No complex wiring, no specialty equipment, no need to be a mechanic. Just mount the system, connect to your trailer lights, pair the app, and you’re ready to roll.

From box to road in under an hour. Smart protection made simple.

Is the TWD-1500 waterproof?

Every component of the TWD-1500 is IP67 rated — that means fully protected against dust and capable of withstanding submersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

Rain, mud, salt spray, pressure washers, boat ramp launches — your monitoring system keeps working in the real conditions trailers actually face. We built it this way because trailers don’t live in garages.

What alerts will I get?

The TWD-1500 app monitors continuously and alerts you when something needs attention. You’ll get real-time notifications for:

  • High axle temperature (overheating bearing)
  • Low tire pressure (slow leak or rapid loss)
  • High tire temperature (friction, dragging brake)
  • Abnormal trends across any wheel or axle

The system uses intelligent trend analysis — it doesn’t just tell you when something is wrong, it spots patterns that predict failures before they happen.

You use your phone normally while towing. TWD runs in the background and only interrupts you when action is needed.

Is there a subscription or monthly fee?

No. Zero. The TWD-1500 is a one-time purchase. The smartphone app is free on iOS and Android, and there are no subscriptions, monthly fees, cloud charges, or hidden costs.

You buy it, you own it, it works. Period.

Can I use multiple phones with the TWD-1500?

Yes. The TWD-1500 can be paired with multiple phones, so everyone in your family, crew, or team can have the app installed. For safety and clarity, only one phone connects at a time. But switching is quick and seamless.

The TWD-1500 preserves tire pairing data across devices — so when a new phone connects, your full sensor configuration is already there. No re-pairing every sensor.

Simple to share. Simple to monitor. Always protected.

Can I buy replacement sensors?

Yes. Replacement TPMS sensors and axle temperature sensors are available directly from us. Contact us and we’ll get you the exact sensor you need.

The TWD-1500 preserves tire pairing data, so adding a replacement sensor is straightforward — pair it in the app and you’re back to full coverage.

How accurate are the temperature and pressure readings?

The TWD-1500 axle temperature sensors are precision-calibrated and mounted directly at the hub — the exact point where bearing failures generate heat. This gives you accurate, real-time temperature data at the source, not an estimate from somewhere nearby.

TPMS pressure sensors provide readings accurate to ±1 PSI, with temperature data from each tire as well. The system compares data across all wheels simultaneously, so even small imbalances between sides or axles are flagged early.

Does it work while driving?

Absolutely — that’s the entire point. The TWD-1500 monitors your trailer in real time while you’re towing, at any speed.

The Bluetooth 5 mesh network maintains constant communication between all sensors and your phone in the truck cab. You get a live dashboard showing every tire’s pressure and temperature, plus every axle’s temperature, updated continuously as you drive.

No pulling over to check. No guessing. Just glance at your phone and know exactly what’s happening behind you.

How is the TWD-1500 powered?

The TWD-1500 draws its power directly from your trailer’s running lights, so there’s no need for extra batteries or complicated wiring. No batteries to swap. No hassle. Just seamless protection every time you tow.

Where is the TWD-1500 manufactured?

The TWD-1500 is proudly built in the USA, with select components responsibly sourced from trusted global partners. Every system is designed, manufactured, assembled and quality-tested in Maryland, ensuring it meets the highest standards of performance and reliability before it reaches your trailer.

Built in the USA. Assembled with care. Tested for trust.
