Terra Drive Systems recently named Fontaine Modification a certified installer of its EZ Trac hydraulic all-wheel drive system.
EZ Trac is designed to improve traction and maneuverability for on-highway and severe service vocational trucks without altering OEM cab specifications.
Fontaine installs EZ Trac at its modification centers in Charlotte and Statesville NC; Avon Lake, Chillicothe and Springfield OH; Detroit MI; Garland and Laredo TX; Dublin VA; and Mineral Wells WV. It achieved certification through extensively training employees at these locations, enabling customers to take advantage of a fast, streamlined delivery process made possible by Fontaine’s ship-through agreements with OEMs around the country.
“EZ Trac is a unique product with a wide range of applications,” said Jamil Young, president of Fontaine Modification’s medium and heavy truck operations division. “The installation process is simple and straight forward, and the system will help improve efficiency and driveability for our customers.”
EZ Trac is a commercially available, steerable hydraulic drive assist system designed to be installed on Class 6, 7 and 8 trucks without putting extra stress on existing engine components. It helps vehicles maintain factory turning radius and ground clearance while allowing for a lower center of gravity to decrease risk of overturn.
Terra Drive says EZ Trac improves a truck’s turning radius from the standard range of 36 to 42 degrees, up to 50 degrees, helping improve maneuverability in challenging off-road environments. EZ Trac is designed for trucks in the utility, construction, fire and rescue, refuse, towing, oil and gas, and forestry industries.
“Fontaine Modification works with all the major OEMs, provides quality upfits and is constantly training to make our installs as easy and seamless as possible,” said Marty Gura, vice president of EZ Trac sales and marketing. “We are pleased to offer our customers the ability to get their EZ Trac systems installed quickly and efficiently through Fontaine Modification.”
