Hendrickson Unveils Watchman Smart Wheel-End System at TMC

Hendrickson’s new sensor platform integrates with its TireMaax system to deliver real-time tire and wheel-end insights, targeting uptime and cost savings. Watchman is part of a broader push to unify traditionally separate trailer systems, according to Hendrickson. Hendrickson used its press conference at the Technology & Maintenance Council’s 2026 Annual Meeting to introduce a new connected trailer technology platform. The new system is designed to give fleets deeper visibility into tire and wheel-end performance.
