The advanced solution for high-precision surface friction testing of airports and skid resistance of SCRIM sites.

Experience the next level of precision and efficiency in surface testing with the GripTester MK2. Designed to ensure the safety and reliability of airport surfaces and validate SCRIM sites, this advanced tool offers unmatched accuracy for friction level assessments, enabling informed decisions on surface maintenance and safety protocols. 

GripTester MK2 delivers reliable, real-time data to support safer, more efficient airport and road operations. Designed for both airport surface assessments and SCRIM site validation, the GripTester MK2 combines cutting-edge sensor technology with intelligent software to provide consistent, accurate friction measurements at speed. This enables proactive maintenance planning and ensures compliance with national safety standards.

Airport Surface Testing
Runways, taxiways, and aprons are subject to constant wear from aircraft movements and environmental exposure. GripTester MK2 empowers airport authorities to monitor surface friction with precision - identifying low-grip zones and supporting targeted maintenance to reduce risk and maintain operational safety. Road Science has conducted grip testing at airports across New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, helping ensure safe, high-performance surfaces in diverse conditions.

SCRIM Site Validation
GripTester MK2 enhances the validation of Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine (SCRIM) sites by delivering rapid, high-resolution friction data. Its advanced sensors and on-board analytics ensure accurate assessments of skid resistance, helping road authorities maintain safe driving conditions across the network.

Real-time Insights
Friction data is captured and processed instantly, with detailed reports, graphs, and actionable recommendations available on-site. This enables fast decision-making and supports long-term asset management strategies. GripTester MK2 is the smart choice for airport friction testing and road skid resistance investigation - combining speed, safety, and precision.

Benefits
