RT3^® Friction Testers are used globally to measure changes to surface friction objectively, accurately and precisely in airport and roadway environments.

Operators have real-time feedback on how that surface is changing during the testing period; whether that is in a winter snow and ice event when continual testing is required, or throughout the year after contaminant e.g. rubber has built up on the surface. Over time, the RT3^® allows Operators to understand the changing profile of their surface as it ages, breaks down, polishes or after it is reconditioned with a surface treatment.

WHAT MAKES THE RT3^® FRICTION TESTER UNIQUE?

1. Accurate, repeatable high resolution results.

2. Easy to use – just get in and drive.

3. Does not require daily calibration.

4. Is integrated to the vehicle but can be removed.

5. Is rugged & durable – designed to work in winter conditions.

6. Easy to maintain.

7. Can run year round without the water system.

8. Water system can be added to any of our units to measure how water changes the surface friction

Why choose an RT3^®?

Measuring surface friction is complex. Many “friction testers” on the market do not work well. Why?

Because so many variables can affect the result. That is, unless the equipment is designed to remove those variables so that you are truly measuring the response of the tire to the surface.

The RT3^® is designed by a world renowned race engineer, Don Halliday, whose expertise has allowed him to break from tradition and design a continuous friction measurement device (CFME), or friction tester, that truly works.

Just ask our customers and they will tell you.

“Everyone should buy one of these”
