ACCESSORIES
The amphibious Fat Truck® work vehicle is designed for industries with remote or hard to reach locations like pipelines, utilities, wind farms and mining, as well as search and rescue. Financing Available.
HIGH SPEED CAPSAN DRIVE
The high-speed capstan drive integrated on the back of an amphibious vehicle redefines the safety standards and the productivity level when working in harsh terrain on powerlines, according to the manufacturer.
​
High-speed capstan drives are usually mounted on much larger equipment. Before today, it was not possible to work efficiently with a high-speed capstan drive with smaller and more affordable equipment.
AMPHIBIOUS TRAILER
The amphibious industrial trailer is a highly functional and durable piece of equipment. The trailer cover can be removed when you are hauling over-sized items on land.
The back tailgate has dual functionality, allowing it to either fold completely down with a step to facilitate crew access, or to open flat for transportation of larger items, with stability ensured by heavy duty chains.
The payload is 2200 lbs (1000 kg). There are six robust tie downs to secure your loads.
The trailer is equipped with a pintle hitch. A pintle hitch is a type of tow hitch that uses a tow ring and pin arrangement instead of the traditional ball-and-socket design. It is commonly used to attach trailers to trucks, particularly for heavy-duty applications such as construction equipment or military vehicles.
The pintle hitch provides greater stability and stress distribution than the ball-and-socket design, as well as easier installation and removal.
TRANSPORT TRAILER
The Highway Hauler for Fat Trucks is an aluminum trailer weighing less than 2000 pounds, combining lightweight design with robustness.
The trailer includes a self-centering guide rack for accurate and secure positioning of your Fat Truck®. The guide rack doubles as a safety stand should tire pressure be lost in your Fat Truck during transport. It is important to note that the guide rack can be removed, allowing for alternative use of the trailer when not carrying the Fat Truck®.
​
The trailer's platform is designed to provide a strong grip, even in freezing temperatures that can cause ice and it is equipped with mud and snow guards to prevent debris from accumulating on your trailer deck during travel.
​
There is a large storage box located near the front of the trailer that is lockable and designed to hold straps and additional items.
