Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is an in-ground tread measurement system? +
An in-ground tread measurement system is a drive-over device installed flush with the workshop floor. It automatically scans tyre tread depth and condition as vehicles pass over.
How is it different from an on-ground system? +
On-ground units sit on top of the floor, while in-ground systems are recessed into the floor. This makes them more permanent, professional, and space-efficient.
Who benefits most from in-ground tread measurement? +
These systems are best suited to dealerships, MOT centres, and fleet workshops where professionalism, high-volume throughput, and accuracy are critical.
What is the legal minimum tyre tread depth in the UK? +
The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. In-ground systems help workshops verify compliance quickly and accurately.
Can the system provide reports for customers? +
Yes. Many in-ground systems generate printable or digital reports, providing customers with clear evidence of their tyre condition.
Is installation complicated? +
Installation requires some floor preparation, but once installed, the system is permanent, low-maintenance, and enhances both workflow and workshop presentation.
