THE VERSATILITY OF A WHEEL OR TRACK UNIT IN A SINGLE MACHINE.

An exclusive Ariens® technology, the RapidTrak™ system is an adjustable tracked or wheeled machine designed to provide users with unrivaled power and versatility for any condition. RapidTrak maintains traction even against high snow piles on hilly or slippery pavement while its wheeled setting provides quick, effortless maneuverability on flat surfaces. Its intuitive, user-friendly design allows operators to switch between settings in seconds.

The RapidTrak system is available on select two-stage Sno-Thro® models.

Features May Include:

• RAPIDTRAK VERSATILITY
  • Three adjustable positions to tackle any winter scenario. Switch on-the-go between Track Mode (Pos. 1) for regular snow-clearing, Wheel Mode (Pos. 2) for maneuverability or Dig-In Mode (Pos. 3) for extra traction in deep snow and slippery conditions. The track lugs and large surface area bite into icy or steep surfaces, maintaining traction to power forward and send snow flying.
• MANEUVERABILITY & SPEED
  • Maximum maneuverability and speed that’s not typically found in track machines. With RapidTrak speed, operators quickly clear snow with traction, power and agility. 
• UNDISPUTED POWER
  • Dig-In Mode gives operators full traction and a better housing angle to reach the pavement surface even with heavy piles of snow found at the end of the driveway.
• HYDROSTATIC DRIVE
  • Infinite speed control delivers torque quickly and efficiently to power through piles of snow. Available on certain models.
• AUTO TURN
  • Combines the power of a track machine with the zero-turn radius of a wheeled Sno-Thro®.
• POWERFUL ENGINE
  • The fully loaded Ariens AX engine provides the power to tackle any condition.
