How It Works
A step-by-step look at our on-wheel regrooving process, safety controls, and documentation.
Step-by-Step Workflow
Position & Access — Trailer is safely jacked as needed for tire access. Wheels stay on.
Measure — We measure existing tread depth on every tire.
Inspect — Each tire is checked for casing integrity, sidewall condition, and belt health. Unsafe tires are skipped.
Mark — Eligible tires are marked for service.
Regroove — Automated gantry cuts new grooves following the original straight-rib pattern. Mechanical depth limiter maintains 3mm safety buffer above steel belts.
Document — Paper depth report generated. Before/after photos taken. Tire stamped to prevent double-service.
Safety Controls
Mechanical Depth Limiter
Physically prevents cutting deeper than spec. Not software — mechanical.
3mm Safety Buffer
Minimum 3mm rubber always remains above steel belts. Protects structural integrity.
Pre-Inspection Gate
Every tire must pass casing, sidewall, and belt inspection before service. No exceptions.
Documentation
- → Paper depth report (before and after measurements)
- → Before/after photos of each serviced tire
- → Service log/checklist per yard visit
- → Tire stamped after service to prevent double-regrooving
