TreadReader DriveOver

The TREADREADERTM DriveOver ramp is a fully automated tyre wear measurement system that may be configured for passenger cars, trailers or light commercial vehicles.

The compact TREADREADER laser sensors are housed in a surface mounted ramp without the need of floor preparation. the tyre passes over a pressure switch to trigger the system with up to 400,000 data points on the tyre patch, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurement. TREADREADER sensors can also be integrated into other workshop equipment like lifts, wheel alignment machines, brake testing machines and vehicle inspection lanes.

The TREADREADER accuracy is not compromised even if tires are wet or dirty, and the system is kept clean by the use of air knives and a shutter mechanism. The choice of the TREADREADER HandHeld scanner or the driveover ramp is typically determined by the customer’s premises or volume of vehicle tires to be scanned.
