CARTRACT 4, vehicle mover with 4-wheel drive
Multitract, Antolini and its subsidiary Tracked Machines have just settled their dispute amicably and the two companies have concluded a commercial agreement relating to the production and marketing of handling machines on tracks and on wheels. In particular, for a period of two years, starting December 17, 2024, Antolini and Tracked Machines will offer their tracked machines (called Towtract) and their 4-wheel drive handling machines (called Carmover XL) globally, while Multitract will focus on its 2-wheel drive handling machines (called Cartract 2R).
During the same period, Antolini and Tracked Machines will also be able to exploit Multitract's French Patents on the basis of an exclusive license. After the first two years, all Parties will be able to market their entire range of products.
The vehicle mover CARTRACT 4 is intended to move all types of conventional vehicle until 2.5 tons using pratically the same process than EASTRACT (transport underneath trains tyres), on smooth floors like paved parking, workshops with cement or resin ground.
The vehicle mover CARTRACT 4 is made with a variable frame fitting with the wheelbase of train wheels, it has an hydrolic control, operating, adjusting and locking of trains wheels with a systeme of cylinders.
The vehicle mover CARTRACT 4 can be fitted with a conventional electric pallet truck or it can be fitted in the factory (when manufacturing) of an electric or thermic powerunit.
Advantages of the vehicle mover CARTRACT 4
CARTRACT 4 can move all locked vehicles with the four wheels locked and it can fit to all size of vehicle, from the smallest like a Renault Twingo to the biggest like an Audi Q7. We made a machine able to :
- take all vehicle until 2.5 tons and 3 meters wheelbase
- park a vehicle the nearest from another one (nearest than can do a driver) which means that you can win space
- pass over small obstacles (doorsill or threshold gate)
- no CO2 emission, so you can work in a workshop safely
- easy used, you can learn to drive it in less than an hour
Operating principle of CARTRACT 4
Operating principle need to slip all the car mover under the vehicle, from the front or from behind, locked the wheels (front or back, it depends from where you slide the vehicle mover) with the hydrolic clamping block, after you adjust the vehicle mover to slid it to the next wheels train.
When the vehicle mover is totally slide under the vehicle, you activate a command that lift the vehicle up to 10 centimeters, thereby wheels don't touch the ground.
The vehicle can be moved forward, backward or roundabout.
