Overview
Hunter QTEF (Quick Tread Edge Flush) is a next-generation drive-over tire tread depth inspection system that delivers detailed tire condition diagnosis in seconds with advanced edge wear detection. Using laser scanning technology, the QTEF captures over 400,000 data points per tire to build precise 3D tire profiles, identifying critical edge wear that may be invisible during visual inspection. The standalone surface-mount configuration provides shops with automatic tire safety inspections without requiring vehicle stops or technician labor, helping maximize tire sales opportunities while enhancing customer transparency through detailed digital reports displayed via HunterNet and Flightboard systems.
