Remote Support Units (RST)
Remote Support Units — RST (Remote Support Trailers) — extend Field Evaluation Services’ real-world testing capability beyond a fixed facility. They allow TreadSight™ Field Testing and TreadSight™ Dedicated Testing programs to run where the vehicles operate, without compromising measurement discipline or data integrity.
Each RST is configured to preserve facility-equivalent execution in remote environments, supporting consistent tire handling, inspection workflows, documentation, and cycle-based data delivery regardless of geography.
Programs executed using RST platforms follow the same measurement structure, verification practices, and reporting cadence as programs run from our primary operating base. Location changes — execution standards do not.
The objective is simple: ensure that where a program runs does not influence how the data is generated, reviewed, or interpreted.
Why RST matters
- Geography shouldn’t limit testing
Fleets operate where they operate. RST units let the program run in the required region and duty cycle. - Prolonged remote operations
Support extended campaigns without sacrificing tooling, execution quality, or documentation rigor. - Consistent cycle updates
Maintain measurement cycle updates so engineering teams aren’t blind until the end of the test.
What “facility equivalent” means (defensible)
“Facility equivalent” does not mean “every possible fixed asset.” It means your program retains the execution capability required to run a field or dedicated program properly:
- On-site operational capability
Tools and infrastructure required to support test setup, tire handling, and ongoing operations. - Traceability & documentation
Consistent tire identification, records, and cycle tagging across locations. - Secure data continuity
Cycle based updates and data transmission designed for engineering workflows.
Transparency & Delivery
RST1, RST2, and RST3
RST stands for Remote Support Trailer. All three units are deployable in the U.S. and Canada programs, allowing Field Evaluation Services, Inc. to execute real-world testing where your fleet, proving ground, or duty cycle requires, without sacrificing measurement continuity or program discipline.
RST1 — TBR & OHT support trailer
Built to support TBR (Truck/Bus Radial) and OHT (Off-Highway Tire) testing with heavy duty onsite service capability.
- 175 psi gas powered air
High pressure compressed air capability to support tire service operations. - 8.5 kW multi fuel power
Power generation to support remote work environments. - Heavy duty lifting & support
20-ton and 50-ton air jacks, jack stands, and truck scale support tooling. - Mounting/installation tooling
Tools and infrastructure designed to support remote installation and service. - 360° area lighting
Improves safety and operational consistency in field deployments.
RST2 — Prolonged remote operations (PCR/LT & OHV)
Built to support prolonged operations in remote locations for PCR/LT and OHV tire testing.
- 44 foot climate controlled gooseneck
Designed for extended deployments and consistent working conditions. - On-site mounting & balancing
Hunter Engineering mounting and balancing equipment for field execution. - Multi source power + storage
12 kW multi fuel generation, solar generation, power storage, DC inverter/conversion. - Continuous duty air
Oasis Manufacturing compressor system and a 175 psi AC air compressor with multi tank air storage. - Inspection + scales
Car scales and a dedicated tire inspection station to support documentation and evaluation. - Secure VPN connectivity

Restroom, storage cabinets, tool cabinets, and interior/exterior LED lighting.
RST3 — All-electric “green” remote support trailer
Newest-generation RST built around solar production, power storage, and power conversion technology. RST3’s green technologies eliminate the need for fuel-powered support equipment.
- All electric support platform
Designed to reduce fuel dependency while maintaining remote operational capability. - Supports PCR, TBR & OHT
Configured to support multiple tire categories across remote programs. - Built for demand growth
Added capacity to meet increased real-world testing demand while reducing carbon footprint.
How RST ties into TreadSight™
Remote Support Units are an execution enabler. They extend our ability to run TreadSight™ programs where the vehicles operate. When structured as TreadSight™ Field Testing or TreadSight™ Dedicated Testing, the measurement framework, traceability, and cycle organization remain consistent—regardless of where the program runs.
Planning an RST deployment
Tell us where the program needs to run, the tire category (PCR/LT, TBR, OHT/OHV), and the intended test duration. We’ll align the correct RST platform and program structure to maintain execution quality and cycle continuity from start to finish.
