Your Shifttronic control! With this smartphone App you can easily control the Trioliet Shifttronic automatic reduction gearbox. This gearbox reduces fuel consumption and saves the drive line on your Trioliet mixer and tractor. The App connects to the gearbox via Bluetooth. It enables five automatic weight-based shifting programs and full manual control. The app also facilitates various diagnostic functions as well as a memory for error messages. Once a program has been selected, the system runs independently, so the app does not have to be active! All settings are stored in the gearbox itself, meaning that it can be connected to every device and still having the same programs.
