ABOUT
The Arctic Trucks AT44 (huge 44 inch tires) was initially designed as a support vehicle for long distance expeditions in Antarctica. These large tires, designed to run at ultra-low pressure, provide a massive, optimal, footprint to give significant flotation in soft snow and a more comfortable ride in fields of sastrugi, which can be extensive. The vehicle carries up to 1 tonne, plus 1.3 tonnes on the optional trailer, making it a super-versatile medium-weight platform for a wide variety of applications.
Superb fuel capacity (280L in tanks and up to 800L on deck/trailer + more if using a sledge) gives the AT44 maximum possible range, even on the high Antarctic plateau. The AT44 has proved to be a reliable and efficient workhorse for personnel movement, medium-weight cargo traverses and expedition use where unique load capabilities, excellent soft and hard surface management, longer range and far better efficiency (including very significantly lower fuel consumption than comparable vehicles) are a prerequisite.
