Where pickup trucks stop is where Zeal Motor says their Fat Truck models pick up.
Designed by Canadian-based Zeal Motor, Fat Truck vehicles are designed to transport people, materials, and tools to jobsites through just about any condition.
Some sites are easy, and then some sites are boggy, muddy, steep, swampy, treacherous, or covered in snow and ice. A four-wheel-drive pickup will get you most of the way there, and a Fat Truck will ensure you and your equipment get all the way there, the company says.
With several upgrades to its 2.8 pickup and wagon series and the release of the more compact 2.4 pickup model and larger 8x8 hauler and wagon model this year, the company now has a full series of industrial off-road vehicles available to contractors.
Fat Truck vehicles have a ground clearance of nearly 2 feet and are also amphibious. While slower in water, the various models allow utility contractors to traverse areas a regular pickup truck would not allow.
The primary market for these boxy-looking amphibious vehicles with large high-traction tires is right-of-way access for contractors working on power lines, pipeline operations, telecommunications, and first responders on search and rescue operations. Even the military has expressed some interest in the vehicles.
“A vehicle capable of traveling at 25 mph on land, 3 mph on water, climbing steep muddy hills while meeting all the safety requirements is an outstanding advantage that only the Fat Truck can provide,” Khimjee said.
The joystick-steered vehicles currently come in one of five configurations: The new 2.4 pickup, a compact four-person model; the upgraded 2.8 pickup or 2.8 wagon that features an eight-person crew cab pickup with dump or box bed; and the new 8x8 16-perso
