In the ground, lasers read tire tread depth, and multiple angles capture the inboard side as well to provide wide inspection coverage. Quick Tread Heavy-Duty can read single tires at the front of the vehicle, as well as duals or super singles. Robust elemental protection allows the equipment to operate through exposure to dust, dirt, rain, and more.
