Treadreader Handheld Scanner
The TreadReader HandHeld Tyre Tread Depth Scanner brings 3D-level precision and professional tyre inspection to any workshop, depot, roadside service or mobile fitting unit. Compact, lightweight and easy to use, it uses patented 3D-scanning technology to deliver highly accurate tread-depth measurements — far beyond the reliability of traditional dip gauges or basic laser pointers.
Each scan generates a detailed 3D model of the tyre tread, showing tread depth, wear patterns and safety alerts within seconds. The scanner integrates with the free iOS/Android app and the cloud-based TreadManager platform, enabling you to store results, issue reports and track tyre conditions over time. Suitable for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and fleet tyres, this handheld system is a perfect tool for workshops, tyre retailers, fleets and mobile fitters looking to provide fast, professional and objective tyre assessments.
