Airtrax
If you think the ability to travel in any
direction is our only important feature, you
really dont get it at all!

• Its what we dont have, that counts!
• We have no motor brushes or commutators, with
  their associated fire risk and high maintenance.
• We have no grease fittings on our motor bearings
  theyre lubricated for life.

Airtrax

• We have no oil to change in our transmissions
  -they come filled with synthetic lubricant and
  are sealed for life.
• We have no pedals cluttering the floor -they
  would only create an impediment to access and
  egress, and add to operator discomfort and
  fatigue.
• We have no steering wheel, or its attendant pump,
  motor, valve, hoses, actuator, and their
  associated maintenance headaches.

11
Airtrax

• We have no shift lever to accidentally be left in
  gear, risking injury to the exiting operator,
  bystanders, or property.
• We have no parking brake lever -the brakes on all
  four wheels engage automatically whenever the
  operator brings the truck to a stop.

12
Airtrax

• We have no long throw, high effort hydraulic
  valve levers to tire the operator -our
  proportional electro-hydraulic valve system gives
  the operator excellent control of all functions
  with low ergonomic impact.
• We have no problem keeping our cool -two blowers,
  an exhaust fan, and a duct system integral to the
  vehicle frame, aided by natural convection,
  combine to provide unsurpassed heat removal.

13
Airtrax

• We have no handedness -our traction and hydraulic
  joysticks can be reversed to provide equal
  driveability to all non-ambidextrous persons.
• We have no restraints to our freedom of movement
  - we move like we are floating on a cushion of
  AIR, all the while maintaining TRAXion, to do
  finely controlled and useful work.

14
Airtrax

• We have no trouble seeing, or being seen. Our
  optional light packages enable the operator to be
  highly productive in a dimly lit work area, and
  the optional reflective striping package assures
  that you will be seen by others working in the
  area, adding to the safety of this extraordinary
  vehicle.
• We have no equal.
