Tyre Pressure Adjustment Systems
Made for Africa
2010
Our journey started with meeting one of the owners of PTG GmbH in Germany. PTG have been designing and building tyre inflation systems for over twenty years then already and had vast experience in the military environment. Initially we were the local representation for PTG in South Africa in the military and mining industries, and a number of PTG’s system were installed in vehicles ranging from armoured vehicles, military trucks and special ops vehicles. .
2016
ti.systems GmbH was established as a demerger from PTG, focusing largely on the military market. In September 2016, with the support from ti.systems GmbH, we exhibited their military products at the AAD2016 exhibition in Waterkloof, Pretoria.
2017
On request from clients, and as a consequence of ti.systems catering only for the upper-end systems, we started developing a smaller and more affordable inflation system for the SUV market. The first prove-of-concept unit was hand made out of plastic blocks. Fortunately it worked and soon thereafter the first controller made from aluminium was on the table.
2018
Ti Systems SA (Pty) Ltd was established, continuing to represent ti.systems GmbH in Southern Africa.
2019
We installed a number of STIS systems on behalf of ti.system for military vehicles, including an armoured Land Cruiser 200. These installations were significant for the development of the SUV model, providing valuable insight into what is required for the SUV market. Development and testing for the SUV unit continued. First test installations were being done.
2020
TI Systems SA and ti.systems GmbH drift apart and TI Systems SA continues the journey on its own.
2023-2024
We manage to successfully file patents for our system in South Africa, Australia and the USA. Time to hit the market…!!
2025
TI Systems SA (Pty) Ltd changes its name to TRaXs SA (Pty) Ltd. Branding and name change is applied to the products, packing, website etc.
