The most Smartracker versatile Wheel Tracker on the market able to perform EN and the USA AASHTO tests. The machine is designed to allow researchers and practitioners to conduct tests under dry (in air) and/or under water (wet). Now you can perform wet or dry test with both wheels or run one wheel under dry and one wheel under wet condition simultaneously during a single test.
The Hamburg wheel tracking device can be used to determine the resistance of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) to rutting and moisture sensitivity. It also determines the creep slope, the stripping inflection point and the stripping slope.
Equipped with the latest Cyber Plus Progress, Matest SmarTracker controls the movement of the wheels in order to obtain a perfect sinusoidal wave. The measurement points for defining the ruth depth are completely customizable according to EN or AASHTO Standards and for research purposes.
MATEST SmarTracker has been developed by our R&D engineers and scientists in association with some of the most experienced and reputable industry experts in the USA and the world.
