Findlay Irvine is a world leader in measuring Skid Resistance for airport runways. Invented by the company over 35 years ago and continuously evolving into the essential tool it is today for airports across the globe. GripTester Mk2 exceeds all the current international standards for friction testing including ICAO, FAA and UKCAA and is currently in use in over 600 airports worldwide. It’s unique flexibility, ease of deployment and robustness makes it popular with users and the number one choice of airport maintenance professionals. The unique new Runway Alignment System (RAS), launched by Findlay Irvine to be compatible with new and existing GripTester Mk2, makes friction surveying even simpler and uses GPS based guidance to guarantee consistent testing results as well as GPS marking data points for more accurate analysis of the results.

From the maintenance perspective, management of Skid Resistance is important to ensure rubber contamination is kept to acceptable levels and that the runway surface is always in a good, smooth, consistent condition. GripTester Mk2 affords maintenance professionals the luxury of an accurate method to monitor their runway surface state and appropriate repairs when needed before major works are needed thus extending the life of the runway and delivering whole-life cost savings.

GripTester is currently being used to measure the runway friction of almost every major airport around the world. First trailed by the British Airport Authority in 1988, over 35 years later it is still the number one friction measuring device of choice.

The GripTester’s open structure, modular design, and high quality components ensure ease of maintenance and use. The GripTester can be towed by almost any vehicle and use almost any laptop, notebook or tablet for data collection.

GripTester’s ease of use, lightweight design and adaptability make it perfect for measuring friction levels of airports the world over.
