Ski slope owners and those in the snow grooming industry can certainly benefit from the unique mechanism of a snowcat. The Lite Trax snowcat is a multifunctional “groomer” that is capable of performing multiple duties. With our unique 6 way blade and various attachments, you are able to push snow, flatten bumps, fill holes, and smooth out snow to create the intricate patterns that snow enthusiasts have come to favor.
The best way to learn how to drive it is by understanding the main components of how it works. Here are a few tips to master your Lite Trax snowcat:
A Lite Trax snowcat has two major attachment points: the front and the rear of the machine. A blade, rake, or other attachment is located in the front of the snowcat. The main function is to maneuver the snow. It enables you to fill divots or create mounds by pushing the snow. A straight blade or a six-way blade is also responsible for leveling or shaping the snow. With Lite Trax’ unique ability to maneuver in small spaces, the snowcat easily shapes and sculpts the snow.
The drags are located in the back of the snowcat and are responsible for cultivating the snow. The uniquely shaped cutting blades are able to slice the snow into a fine powder to make it more workable. Once the snow has made it through the blades, it is then pressed down. The drag then will smooth out the snow for that beautiful corduroy finish that snow sport enthusiasts crave.
The Lite Trax vehicle is a uniquely compact machine that has all the qualities for managing snow that you could require. For more information on the Lite Trax, feel free to contact us.
