Tread Smart

Hunter Engineering Company’s new Quick Tread system uses point cloud technology to automatically measure the tread depth of each tire
without a time loss. The unit detects tread grooves to report up to six measurements per tire. Results are displayed on the console and also presented on an easy-to-understand printout that recommends tire replacement by showing a 3D model of the customer’s tread. Quick Tread is built for a shop environment and features powder-coated stainless steel to resist corrosion. All measurements are processed on-site in seconds. No Internet connection is required to process measurements, and there is no recurring monthly charge.

Available for order later this year, the new drive-over tread depth unit can be easily added to existing Hunter Quick Check systems or installed as a stand-alone system.
