An advanced engineering alternative.
Why tracks?
An Economic, Ecological and Environmental Engineering solution.
The sole reason for pursuing the concept of designing a new type of four-tracked vehicle, was to answer the perennial problems of surface damage caused by wheeled and two-tracked skid-steer machines, when working on unstable, uneven or sensitive ground surfaces. Tyres inevitably create deep ruts, which causes deep troughs, which then quickly transforms into a deep mud quagmire with runoff issues.
The majority of conventional four-wheeled loader/shovels, and two-track skid-steer crawler/carriers, are known to cause excessive surface-soil damage under sensitive surface conditions.
Two-tracked vehicles provide a part-solution but skid-steer mechanisms generate a tremendously powerful circulating-grinding effect, which in turn deteriorates the surface and mashes the substrate, which again can lead to runoff.
Moorend’s original four track technology is specifically designed for unstable terrain and ecologically sensitive surfaces. The four-track system is safer for operators and less damaging to the environment.
