Coats Tread Depth Scanner Features
LED Camera Technology with 300+ Measurement Points
The Coats system uses dedicated LED lighting and advanced camera technology to capture 300+ tread depth points across all four tires. Multiple measuring points dramatically reduce false readings caused by debris in the tread, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations. The redundancy built into the scanning approach ensures accurate, reliable tread depth assessment on every vehicle, regardless of road conditions or tire wear patterns.
Zero Moving Parts - Superior Durability and Maintenance
Unlike competitor systems with moving parts, compressed air systems, or lasers, the Coats Tread Depth Scanner features a simple, robust design with no moving parts.
