Skiddometer BV11 VI - Surface Friction Tester

The Skiddometer BV11VI (Vehicle Integration) is the latest innovation in friction measurement. Skiddometer proven technology has been adapted to use an electrical lift system with the Skiddometer BV11 and the Skiddometer Touch Screen computer, to provide better vehicle integration.

This new and simple construction allows the Skiddometer unit to be installed easily on virtually any brand of pickup truck available on the market without modifications to the vehicle itself, including the latest generation of fully electric vehicles. By supporting electric pickup trucks, the Skiddometer BV11 VI provides airports and runway operators with a future-ready friction measurement solution that aligns with increasingly stringent environmental and sustainability objectives. Friction measurements can be performed during the worst possible weather conditions, and operators can choose the vehicle platform that best suits their operational requirements, including safe four-wheel-drive vehicles and high-performance electric pickups. The zero emission electric vehicle options enable runway inspections and friction measurements to be carried out with a significantly lower environmental impact while supporting airport carbon-reduction initiatives and sustainability programs.

Additionally, the high ground clearance of the measuring wheel also allows the vehicle to be used for normal driving and other airport operations when friction measurements are not being performed, maximizing vehicle utilization and operational efficiency.

Since wet pavement always yields the lowest friction measurements, we offer a self-wetting system which simulates wet pavement surface conditions and provides the operator with a continuous record of friction values along the length of the runway. The integrated electrical water pump, nozzle and tank are designed to provide a uniform water depth of 1 mm (0.04 inches) in front of the friction measuring tire. This wetted surface produces friction values that are most meaningful in determining whether or not corrective actions are required.

Skiddometer BV11 is listed and recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
