Commercial Vehicles

Trucks, buses and trailers — inspected in one pass.

DRAGATE PRO is the heavy-vehicle configuration of the CXS ARCH. Specified with an arch of up to 6 m, it inspects commercial vehicles up to 5.0 m tall at up to 10 km/h, with multi-angle true-colour capture and plate and colour identification.

Why a separate platform

A truck is not a large car.

Commercial vehicles are taller, longer and dirtier, they carry different damage patterns, and they move through a yard on a schedule that will not wait for a walk-around. DRAGATE PRO is dimensioned and powered for that reality — an arch specified up to 6 m, a 380 V / 11 kW supply, and a frame built for continuous duty.

The passenger DRAGATE tops out at 2.0 m vehicle height. Anything above that — a box truck, a coach, a curtainsider, a tractor unit with a high cab — needs the PRO arch, configured to the clearance your site actually requires.

The lane

What stands on the ground.

A complete commercial lane is the portal plus the drive-over and sidewall modules. Hover any marker to name it — the numbered list below carries the same order.

Rendering of a complete lane. The undercarriage, tread and sidewall modules are the same units used on the passenger platform — only the portal differs. Modules can be deployed together or individually.

Design

Built like equipment, not like a kiosk.

Brushed aluminium structure, a continuous diffused LED panel running the height of the pillar, and camera apertures recessed behind the glass line rather than bolted onto it.

The illumination is the measurement instrument here: even, controlled light is what lets the system resolve a dent on a dusty curtainsider at the same accuracy at midnight as at noon. Panel joints, countersunk fixings and a sealed enclosure keep it serviceable in a yard rather than a showroom.

Functions

What the system captures.

01

Multi-angle body capture

2K HD true-colour imaging records the full exterior of the unit as it drives through — tractor, trailer or rigid body.

02

Damage detection at 1 cm

Deformation, panel damage and surface defects resolved to centimetre accuracy and located on the vehicle.

03

Plate and colour identification

Included as standard, binding each scan to a specific unit without manual entry.

04

Undercarriage imaging

The drive-over module adds 4K line-scan of the chassis — leaks, corrosion, structural damage, missing components.

05

Commercial tyre measurement

Tread depth to 0.3 mm across a 900 mm effective width, up to 13 t axle load, report in about seven seconds.

06

Sidewall and wheel

Four industrial cameras at 7K resolve bulges, cuts and kerb damage, and read DOT age, brand and model.

The floor does half the work.

Tread and underbody run as drive-over plates, rated for a 13-tonne axle. They install on the surface — no pit, no lift, no excavation — or flush into the slab where the site allows it. Because they sit in the lane rather than beside it, the vehicle is measured in the same pass that photographs it.

Applications

Where it earns its place.

Anywhere heavy vehicles change hands, cross a boundary, or start and end a duty cycle — and the condition at that moment decides who pays.

Fleet and leasing

Objective condition records at handover, return and interval checks across a mixed heavy fleet.

  • Damage attribution between driver, depot and workshop
  • End-of-lease disputes settled on documented evidence
  • Tyre wear tracked per axle over the life of the contract

Ports, terminals and logistics yards

Gate-in and gate-out inspection at the speed the yard actually runs.

  • Condition captured on entry and exit, bound to the plate
  • Liability boundary between haulier and terminal made explicit
  • No inspector standing in a live traffic lane

Customs and border control

A consistent visual and undercarriage record of every vehicle crossing the line.

  • Undercarriage line-scan without a pit or a mirror trolley
  • Plate-bound, time-stamped and archived for later retrieval
  • Throughput maintained during peak crossing periods

Workshops, PTI and bus operators

A repeatable intake record before a vehicle enters the workshop or the service line.

  • Pre-repair documentation that survives a later dispute
  • Tyre and chassis findings triaged before the lift is occupied
  • Consistent output regardless of shift or operator

Arch height, system weight and foundation requirements depend on the configured clearance and are confirmed with the site survey.

Software and integration

The scan is the input. Your process is the output.

A condition record is only useful where your operation already works — in the yard management system, the leasing platform, the maintenance backlog. The CXS platform is built to be integrated rather than operated as an island.

API

Open interfaces

Open APIs and SAP-ready output push structured results into the systems you already run, rather than adding another login.

RPT

Reporting

Structured, time-stamped condition records, archived and retrievable on any device — the basis for a damage claim or an audit trail.

DEP

Local or cloud

Deploy against local infrastructure where data must stay on site, or cloud where it must be reachable across locations.

Reporting layouts, thresholds and process rules are configured per deployment.
