Getting to the victim quickly and safely is the goal in search and rescue. You want a vehicle that can get off the road and get into tight spots without getting stuck. A LiteTrax vehicle can maneuver around and through many obstacles that trucks, snowmobiles and ATVs can’t.
These machines are easy to use and easy to learn. With our optional four-person enclosed cab, victims can be brought out in comfort. Your S&R division doesn’t have $120,000 for a new SnowCat? Our machine can get your team in, and the victim out for a third of the cost of usual rescue operations, and grants and financing are available for qualified departments in participating states. Plus, our vehicles have a low maintenance cost, making them a cost-effective option for any rescue service.
Safety is a major concern when it comes to helping others, and no one wants to worry about the risks of their vehicle not working or overturning during a rescue. Our search and rescue snow vehicles have incorporated safety features that are second to none. In addition to our superior safety standards, the elevated driver’s compartment provides excellent visibility for safe operation while traveling over uneven ground while you search and make contact with the victim.
The smoothness of the ride also makes for an added safety feature. The SnowCats’ suspension provides a smooth and stable ride for both you and the rescued individual. This provides both a more comfortable ride for the operator who may be in there for long hours searching for a missing person as well as the victim who might be in pain or have sensitive broken bones or injuries that a rough ride on bumpy terrain can aggravate or make worse.
