SKIDCAR™ Type B: SUVs/Vans
SKIDCAR™ Type B is designed for people who spend a lot of time in a van or SUV - from police officers and delivery drivers to healthcare professionals, transportation providers, military drivers, and beyond. If you regularly drive this type of vehicle, SKIDCAR Type B will teach you proactive driving strategies that can help you avoid hazards and stay safe on the roads.
Model(s): fitted for SUVs and vans; system individually engineered for one or more models based on width, length, wheelbase and weight
Max Weight: 7,500 lbs (vehicle and occupants)
Specifications: System consists of a steel ladder frame, connected to the suspension of a vehicle, with outriggers fitted front and rear. These outriggers carry hydraulic rams connected to free castering wheels at each of its four corners. See parts list for Type B (PDF).
Through the use of an electro-hydraulic pump and a manual or electronic controller, the SKIDCAR SYSTEM® will transfer the weight of the vehicle to the outrigger/frame assembly. This weight transfer allows the change and manipulation of the vehicle’s co-efficient of friction (a.k.a. traction) to duplicate hazardous conditions for driver training purposes.
