We started this venture with a simple goal: to make heavy production carts easier to maneuver on location.
The spark came while working on a television show backlot where the production team had dumped tons of sand to build the sets. Fighting to push heavy gear through deep sand day after day, we knew there had to be a better way.Our first instinct was to experiment with motorized hub wheels. While they offered a slight improvement, we quickly ran into major limitations—namely a lack of low-end torque and fine sand invading the wheel motors. Realizing that hub motors weren't up to the grueling demands of production environments, we abandoned the idea completely.
Months later, we discovered a different, field-proven approach: a heavy-duty system built around a central motor and a mechanical transaxle.
Our prototypes performed flawlessly. Recognizing how much this setup would benefit our peers, we knew we had to bring this solution to the wider production community.
