As a business owner, I must be concerned with my employees’ safety. How can Fat Truck help with this?

Unlike other manufacturers who use exhaust gas, we exclusively utilize fresh, filtered air for tire inflation at all times! The Fat Truck is proudly ROPS ISO 3471 certified, featuring a roll-over-protective structure with seat belts for all passengers. Its stable design, along with centralized tire pressure control from within the cab, guarantees seamless navigation across any terrain. Plus, our built-in safety features offer visual and auditory alerts to operators when approaching preset grades or side slopes. Safety leadership at its finest—without compromising with exhaust gas.

How deep of water can the Fat Truck drive in?

At 51 feet deep, it's just testing the waters. But at 52 feet? No need to panic, it doesn't wave the white flag and sink—it's amphibious, folks! So whether it's puddles or lakes, we've got your back.

What’s the difference between Fat Truck and other similar vehicles?

Fat Trucks are proudly Canadian-made, so getting units and parts is a breeze. We've streamlined the steering to a single joystick control, ditching pedals, levers, and manual transmission (who needs brake modulation anyway?). Unlike others, Fat Trucks are full-time 4WD, no need to clutch each side for turning in 2WD. Safety, reliability, ease of operation, and maintenance are our bread and butter. Oh, and forget about using dangerous exhaust gas to inflate our tires! Plus, why on earth would we want to come to a complete stop and play "levers and latches" just to engage "zero radius turn" mode? We're all about keeping it simple and snappy.
