Everything You Need to Know
Common questions about our technology, installation, data, and what to expect from a WheelRight system. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact Us to learn more.
The Basics
WheelRight is an automated vehicle inspection system that captures vehicle and tyre data as assets drive over the inground system. The outputs of the inspection include tyre pressure, tyre tread depth, tyre damage, weight in motion, wheel end temperature, and vehicle identification. The system helps fleets proactively manage maintenance without requiring manual inspections.
WheelRight uses a combination of sensors, imaging technology, and analytics to scan vehicles as they pass over the inspection zone at low speed. The system automatically records data and provides actionable reporting through a centralised dashboard or data feeds to the fleet.
WheelRight is designed for HGV, LGV, LCV, PCV, bus, coach, and commercial fleet operations.
The inspection is typically completed in 6 seconds as the vehicle drives over the system at normal yard or depot speeds.
- Low tyre tread depth
- Irregular wear patterns
- Shoulder wear on tyres
- Dual tyre mismatch
- Tyre inflation-related wear indicators
- Potential alignment issues
- Tyres approaching replacement thresholds
- Overheating of tyre or wheel ends
- Over/underweight vehicles
Safety & Compliance
Yes. Early detection of problems helps fleets address issues before they become roadside breakdown events, reducing downtime, service call-outs, and safety risks.
Yes. Tyre conditions are one of the leading contributors to vehicle safety incidents and regulatory violations. Automated inspections help fleets identify safety concerns earlier and more consistently than manual inspections alone.
WheelRight helps support maintenance documentation and tyre condition monitoring, which can assist fleets with preventative maintenance programmes and compliance readiness.
Operations & Efficiency
Yes. Automated inspectionssignificantly reduce the time technicians spend manually measuring tyre treadand documenting tyre conditions.
WheelRight can integrate withmany fleet maintenance and telematics platforms, allowing tyre inspection datato become part of the fleet's broader maintenance workflow.
Yes. Fleets can configure alertsand reporting thresholds for various conditions or criteria.
Yes. Fleet managers can viewinspection history, trends, and maintenance needs through centralised reportingtools.
ROI depends on fleet size, tyrespend, failure rates, and operational practices. Many fleets realise valuethrough reduced tyre costs, fewer roadside events, improved labour efficiency,and increased uptime.
Installation & Deployment
WheelRight can be installed at:
- Distribution centres
- Fleet maintenance facilities
- Terminal entrances/exits
- Transit depots
- Travel/Service Plazas
In most cases, installation canbe completed with limited disruption. Requirements vary depending on sitelayout, traffic flow, and environmental conditions.
Yes. WheelRight systems aredesigned for industrial fleet environments and can operate in a wide range ofweather conditions.
WheelRight has above ground andbelow ground components, which require a minimum excavation footprint of 9.5m x4.5m (31ft x 15ft). The entry and exit must allow for straight line travel of15.25m (50ft) on each end of the system. The system also requires reliableinternet and access to power. Alternate routing around the system must beavailable during construction.
Deployment timelines vary basedon site complexity, integration requirements, and installation scope.
Yes. Multi-site deployments arecommon for regional and national fleets. The platform is designed to supportscalable deployments across enterprise fleet networks with centralised datavisibility and reporting.
