A Smarter Approach to Loaded Wheel Testing

Intelligently designed with the end-user in mind, the new InstroTek SmarTracker™ introduces unique features that make asphalt testing safer, easier, and more accurate. This advanced system surpasses many existing wheel tracking systems, offering a superior experience without the premium cost.

Key Innovations for Enhanced Safety and Ease of Use

Retractable Wheel System: One of the standout features is the innovative retractable wheel mechanism. This design eliminates the need for users to lift heavy wheel assemblies when loading or unloading samples, significantly reducing the risk of back strain and injury. The wheels simply retract to their starting position, allowing for effortless removal of test samples.

Simultaneous Wet and Dry Testing: The SmarTracker™ enhances efficiency by allowing users to perform both wet and dry tests at the same time. Its innovative water circulation system and dual-tank design enable one sample to be fully submerged while the other remains dry, all within a single test run.

Precise Temperature Control: Consistent test conditions are guaranteed with dedicated tank and air heaters that maintain stable water and air temperatures throughout the test. Additionally, the system features a protective hood that insulates the testing environment and shields critical electrical components from moisture.

Advanced Engineering for Superior Performance

• Independent Wheel Motors: Each wheel is powered by its own motor, providing precise control and independent operation for more accurate and reliable test results.
• Compact Footprint: Designed to accommodate labs where space is limited, the SmarTracker™ has a small footprint without compromising on performance or capability.
• Durable Construction: Built with rugged, high-quality components, the SmarTracker™ is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of a construction laboratory environment, ensuring a long and productive service life.
• User-Friendly Interface: The system is operated via an integrated Windows®-based touchscreen computer. This intuitive interface simplifies test execution, data management, and the visualization of results.
• Automated Operation: The test is fully automatic and will stop once the predefined rut depth is achieved, allowing technicians to focus on other tasks.

Controller Software and Data Management

The on-board Windows®-based computer provides a seamless user experience. Test data can be easily exported via two USB ports to a flash drive or sent directly to a printer for immediate analysis and record-keeping.
