Hunter’s Quick Tread inspection technology automatically measures tire tread depth and captures vehicle identification in seconds as motorists drive into the service lane. The new, compact console provides a clean installation virtually anywhere in or nearby the service drive thereby saving valuable space, according to Hunter.

The Quick Tread console includes everything needed to run a fully-automatic inspection lane and can be connected to a network printer at the service desk to provide customers inspection result printouts. The Quick Tread system can also be integrated with multi-point inspection providers to supply digital inspection reports and tires offers to customers.

Approximately 25 percent of all customer tires are in need of immediate replacement or will need to be replaced soon, the company says. By auditing every vehicle and presenting timely, informative tire offers, shops are able to increase customer tire sales. Studies show 78 percent of consumers maintain their vehicle where they purchase tires.

Hunter Engineering Company is the global leader in alignment systems, wheel and tire service, brake service and inspection lane equipment.
