Halliday Technologies
Halliday Technologies has designed and manufactured runway continuous friction testing equipment for 30 years. It serves airports globally, including more than 60 U.S. airports. The RT3® Flight Friction Tester accurately measures pavement surface friction with repeatable results. Airfield operations can measure surface friction quickly and efficiently, minimizing runway downtime. The RT3 data determines where to remove rubber, how the surface friction characteristics have changed, and how to optimize surface performance while reducing chemical usage in winter. The RT3 Flight is easy to maintain, holds its calibration, and can be used in harsh conditions. The unit integrates into the vehicle but is accessible and removable in non-winter months. Customers who regularly test in non-winter months can use the vehicle normally with the wheel raised.
