Protect what matters most
Every minute of downtime costs you money. Every fire destroys assets. AxleWatch catches problems early so you can fix them before disaster strikes.
Stop fires before they happen
Get instant alerts when hubs overheat. Pull over and fix the problem before flames destroy your trailer, cargo, and livelihood.
Eliminate costly breakdowns
Catch bearing failures early and schedule maintenance on your terms — not on the side of the road waiting for a tow.
Protect your drivers
Keep your team safe with real-time warnings. No more discovering a fire after it's too late to stop it.
Save thousands in repairs
A seized bearing can destroy an entire axle assembly. Early detection means fixing a $200 bearing instead of a $10,000+ repair.
Prove what happened
Temperature, GPS, and speed data logs provide evidence for insurance claims and incident investigations.
Monitor your whole fleet
Track multiple trailers at once. Know the health of every asset in real-time, even across road-trains.
About AxleWatch
With over 15 years of experience as a field service mechanic across the Goldfields of Western Australia, Nick has seen firsthand what heat can do to heavy vehicles. From collapsed wheel bearings and seized brake components to the occasional truck fire, the pattern was always the same — excess heat, downtime, and costly repairs.
To manage the risk, transport companies began having their operators manually record hub temperatures at every stop. But this process was slow, inconsistent, and often too late.
Driven to create a better way, Nick developed AxleWatch — a system that continuously monitors brake and bearing temperatures in real time. Built for reliability and simplicity, AxleWatch eliminates guesswork, helping operators prevent damage before it happens.
It's a solution built in the field, by someone who's been there.
