Your pitch won't fit in a lab. So the lab comes to you.

The TraqSafe test rig measures the traction between boot and turf in lab quality – with real boots, under realistic loads, directly on your pitch. For better performance and fewer injuries.

The interaction between boot and ground is hardly ever measured in football.

Existing data is subjective and unreliable.

The experience of kit managers and ground staff

  • Tied to individuals
  • Hardly comparable between pitches
  • Hard to document

Player feedback

  • Often only comes in the warm-up
  • Not every difference can be felt
  • Depends on perception and form on the day

Standardised pitch tests

  • Simplified test devices instead of real boots
  • No match-like loads
  • A snapshot instead of ongoing monitoring

Manufacturer guidance

  • Broad classification by surface type
  • No link to the current pitch condition
  • No comparable values across models

Our test rig measures what has so far been estimated – with the real boot, directly on your pitch.

TraqSafe test rig

Measured the way the game is played.

A mobile traction test rig: it measures how boot and playing surface interact under realistic loads – where the game is played.

  • Lab quality on your pitch

    Mobile and self-powered, right on the pitch. Can also be used in the lab if needed.

  • Measured, not estimated

    Forces and moments between boot and ground – objective and reproducible.

  • Movements like in a match

    Individually adjustable lower-leg axis and ankle, plus a flexible foot model.

  • Comparable across time and zones

    The effects of turf age, weather and maintenance become measurable.

The prototype is currently being built. In 2027, we will show it in action.

From measurement to decision

With the Traqometry software, results are ready within minutes – prepared for your role, from sports science and pitch management to product development.

Results within minutes

As soon as the measurement data is transferred, the results are ready in Traqometry.

Prepared for your role

From sports science and pitch management to product development.

Quality check for every result

Every result is traceable and comes with a quality check.

No measurement is lost

Even without a network on the pitch, data is transferred as soon as a connection is available.

Research

Developed from research. Built for the pitch.

Our test rig is backed by almost two decades of traction research at the Technical University of Munich. Founder Karlo Condic researched the interaction between boot and ground there, including the influence of stud design, soil moisture and turf age on traction. We have rethought what was previously only possible in a research setting: the test rig is an independent development – mobile, automated and designed for professional sport.

  • Research basis since 2007
  • Publications under review
  • Patents pending
