The New Go-Tract 1200 HY Multi-Terrain Vehicle From Camoplast

Camoplast is pleased to announce the introduction of a new multi-terrain tracked vehicle to its utility vehicle line-up.

The Go-Tract 1200 with its powerful 155 hp turbo diesel engine, 5448 kg (12 000 lbs) carrying capacity, 15,6 km/h (9,6 mph) top speed and very low ground pressure is the tracked carrier of choice in difficult ground conditions. Its versatility as a personnel transporter, aerial device / digger derrick platform or general-purpose carrier makes it a proud addition to Camoplast's extensive fully hydrostatic utility vehicle portfolio.

"The new Go-Tract 1200 was brought from concept to finished product by our newest division, Camoplast (formerly the Industrial Division of Bombardier). We are really proud of this new vehicle. As with all of our tracked machines, it will prominently display the new sub-brand Camo on the grille. We confidently look forward to seeing the Go-Tract 1200 exceeding our customers' expectations in this popular payload class", stated Christian Martin, Sales and Marketing Director, Camoplast.

The microprocessor equipped Go-Tract 1200 delivers safety features like automatic parking brake application when the vehicle stops, when the door is opened, or the outriggers are deployed. The microprocessor also protects the vehicle from overload by optimizing power output to the final drives. The Go-Tract 1200 may be equipped with either 71 cm (28 in.) or 84 cm (33 in.) tracks based on required width.

Camoplast and their tracked vehicles division, employs 350 people in its manufacturing facility in Granby, Quebec, Canada. The utility vehicle line-up includes multi-terrain personnel and equipment transport vehicles, the legendary Muskeg® and the multi-purpose Trooper and Patrol. The vehicle portfolio also includes a new hydrostatic version of the J5 with optional fire fighting kit as well as the SW 48® HY, the high-speed, blower equipped snow clearing vehicle. In addition Camoplast manufactures alpine and snowmobile trail groomers.

Camoplast has now six specialized service centres where pre-owned vehicles are reconditioned and sold. Camoplast provides best-in-class warranty coverage and the biggest used rubber/steel tracked vehicle selection in North America.
