1)- THE 6X6 AUSTRALIA WRAPPR-6MILITARY COMBAT VEHICLE:
Designed to be built on either a Toyota LC79 or LC200 series Landcruiser chassis and drivetrain for a 6-man combat section, incl. pilot & navigator up front, and Machine Gunner with Ammunition Assistant and 2 Rearguard Troopers, with room for up to 3 extra troops (forming a 9-man section, or carrying 3 Casualties/POWs). After that it just needs a longer wheelbase to make for a comfortable full 9-man section. We currently have ADR approval for 79 & 200 series at these metrics: 79 series for WRAPPR-6 has Tare weight 2,700kg, Payload 2,500kg, 5,200kg GVM & 8,500kg GCM and on Toyota 200 series Landcruiser for WRAPPR-9 with approx. Tare 3,150kg; Payload 3,050kg; 6,380kg GVM; and 8,500kg GCM. A Mercedes G-wagen 6×6 twinset for a prestigious tour operator in Broome, WA (‘Outback Spirit P/L’) is currently under construction (November 2017) and may be used instead of Landcruisers for the WRAPPR-9 as these Mercs will have 7,000kg GVM ADR compliance Identity Plate Approval (IPA) and will be bombproof!
2)- POWER-DIVIDER COUPLING FOR THE ZAMBONI ICE-RESURFACING MACHINE:
Innovative Zamboni driveshaft pieces. Recent challenges for the Zamboni ice-resurfacing tractor saw our head mechanical designer go to work with Zamboni HQ in the USA and solve their traction dilemma they were facing with providing traction on the ice while enabling them to also drive in and around their bitumen carparks and concrete driveways without chewing axles and tyres out. This mechanism is now set to be eventually implemented into the ice-dressing machines (‘Zamboni’) of every indoor Olympic sized ice-rink around the world.
