Warrior Expo – RANGER HIPPO

Monday, March 10th, 2014

Coming Summer 2014, the Ranger Hippo is a collaboration between Polaris Defense and Mobile Hydraulic Equipment Company to produce a lightweight, all-terrain, alternative for the maintenance contact vehicle in order to access remote worksites.

Combining the well known capabilities of the Polaris RANGER Diesel along with the HIPPO 1041P, you now have Hydraulic, Electric, Pneumatic and Welding power all in a single unit powered by the RANGER’s Diesel engine.

The system will transport up to 3 personnel and up to 500 lbs of cargo in the box. This will support most light maintenance requirements and will reach those remote sites that are inaccessible by more traditional vehicles.

SPECS:
Power
• Hydraulic power-fully adjustable 0-10 gpm @ 2000 psi hydraulic tool circuit (one outlet)
• Air power- 50 cfm @ 100 psi (three outlets)
• Electric power -5.2 kw @ 120 vac
• Welding power-240 amps dc stick
Connections
• Hydraulic- one hydraulic tool circuit
• Air- one 3?4 inch claw air fitting, two quick disconnect air fittings
• Electricity- two 120 volt electric outlets @ 20 amps
• Welding- one welding console with quick disconnects

In addition to MRO, the RANGER HIPPO would work for construction and demolition support as well as disaster relief and emergency services.

Gauer Garage

Monday, February 24th, 2014

Look, I’m a huge fan of the Pinzgauer High-Mobility All-Terrain Vehicle. If you know anything at all about them, you probably are too. They have a huge civilian off-road following who refer to these 4×4 and 6×6 vehicles as “Pinzies” but the Astrian-built Pingauer is affectionately known as the “Gauer” by their military users. When I found out that some of my former military friends in West Virginia were turning a hobby into a business, of course they had to call it the Gauer Garage.

In addition to offering fully customized Pinzgauers, upgrades, parts, and maintenance, Gauer Garage also offers driving instruction. If I had to name the number one attribute of the Gauer, it would be ‘Mobility.’ You aren’t doing that with many vehicles out there.

You’ll notice several different variants of these Gen I vehicles built in the 70s and 80s. Thanks to rolling 25 year DOT and 21 year EPA moratoriums on the importation of out-of-spec vehicles these can be brought into the country once the reach the proper age. Gauer Garage finds them and customizes them for civilian use. Because there are so many variants of these 4 and 6 wheeled trucks, as of late, several have become self-contained prepper bug-out vehicles like the 712 you see here. It features a hard sided cabin at the rear and 360 degree cameras for enhanced security.

Local Motors – US Army CoCreate Make-a-Thon Vehicle Build Update

Thursday, January 30th, 2014

In this video, Giovani from Local Motors gave an update on the company’s enhancements to the Kawasaki Teryx 750cc for the purpose of the Army CoCreate Make-a-Thon. CoCreate is a Rapid Equipping Force-sponsored crowd sourcing effort that nominates operational challenges and works to fulfill those shortfalls with a material solution.

The goal of the Make-a-Thon was to develop a Mobile Command Post that supports dismounted soldier operations. Two Make-a-Thons were held for the MCP: the first, held December 9th-13th of last year, was for design concepts and first iteration prototyping. The second, which took place January 13th-16th, was held to further refine the community-developed design of the MCP.

Army CoCreate is an online community developed by Local Motors and the Army Rapid Equipping Force (REF).

BTW, nice shirt Giovanni.
