TRACKED SYSTEM FOR SKID LOADERS

GEHL informs:
Track System
"VTS" for Skid
Steer Loaders

 

Your Skid Steer Loader has more potential than you`ve ever imagined. All it takes is the VTS System and under an hour to make the conversion. With VTS, the loader you`ve already used to build your business will work even longer, harder and in more ground conditions than before. Convert your Skid Loader to the VTS to be more versatile when work in extreme conditions that used to require a compact track loader. Minimize machine depreciation, get the lowest track maintenance and repair costs and maximize your current machine investment.

Heavy-duty Rubber Tracks:

• The rubber track on the VTS System
  was specifically designed with ride and
  wear in mind. The tread pattern is
  very aggressive. Steel bars running
  crosswise are embedded in the
  rubber mold of the track. The metal
  directly contacts the rear sprocket.
  Wrapped steel cording runs the
  length of the track.

Increased Weight:

• Increased Lift-/Tip Capacity -
  Increasing your machine weight
  allows you to handle more material
  while keeping stable.
• Machine Stability - Stability is in-
  creased by the addition of weight.
  
• Pushing Power/Tractive Effort/work:
  Work is created by force exerted.
  Force requires an amount of mass to
  be applied. More mass contributes to more over all work accomplished.

Longer Wheelbase:

• Increased Lift-/Tip Capacity -
  a longer wheelbase allows you to
  handle more material while keeping
  stable.
• Infreased Pushing Power/Tractive
  Effort Work - the longer wheelbase
  of the VTS gives you more contact
  with the ground, thus improving push
  ing power and over all work produced
  by the same machine.
• Machine Stability - stability is increased by the wider, longer wheelbase.

Open design:

• Easy Clean out: The open design
  allows for quick and easy clean out
  as part of a daily maintenance
  routine. Self diagnosis: Being able
  to view the components easily allows
  for user diagnosis, cutting down on
  potential
  repair or service.
• Continuous Work: The open design minimizes the chance of ojects
  lodging in the chassis and stopping operation for service.

Track Shape:

• Climbing Ability -
  The pentagonal shape of the VTS keeps a flat surface of tractive effort working, thus continuously digging itself upward.
• Eliminate Point Loading - VTS`s pentagonal shape climbs over obstacles and eliminates the effects of point loading.

Patented torsion hub provides for independent and bi-directional suspension:

• A Suspension system - provides a
  much smother ride. Suspension
  also lessens the vibration to your
  skid steer loader, limiting machine
  werar and tear and decreasing
  maintenance costs. The suspension
  on both sides operate independant of
  each other, increasing dkid steer
  stability and climbing ability.
• Track life: Allows more track to be contacting the ground at a time, increasing track life.
