Friction

The GFTE (Global Friction Tester Equipment) can be built into a various selection of vehicles or can be built as a self-contained friction tester trailer.

The GFTE, is basically a system for measuring the friction between the GFTE’s measurement wheel and the surface of the ground. The main components are:

• The measurement wheel with a raising and lowering mechanism (hydraulic system).
• One chain transmission.
• One universal or one original drive shaft between the reference wheel of the car or of the trailer wheel and the chain transmission.
• The measurement computer system.
