Polaris RCS provides maximum flexibility
8 Apr, 2009 By: Landscape Management Staff Athletic Turf News |
WORCESTER, MA — Curtis Industries, LLC has introduced a modular cab system for the 2009 Polaris Ranger utility vehicle, available in early June. This system allows rapid transformation from a fully enclosed cab to an open-air ride in only 60 seconds. The Curtis Rapid-Convertible System (RCS) allows the user to choose one or all components for maximum flexibility as the weather changes.
A simple Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) base frame with cab receiver mounts provides safety and easy installation of the modular components. Initial installation time is approximately two hours. The roof, windshield and rear panel feature a unique, quick-release pin to slot connection and a heavy duty quick release latch. The strong but lightweight hard-coated polycarbonate Quantum-coated windshield quickly vents for varying temperatures and is designed and tested for full speed travel with the windshield open or closed. An optional wiper kit is also available.
Cab panels are designed using advanced technology and materials. The RCS uses thermoformed thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) material (not acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene [ABS] plastic or fiberglass) for all body panels. According to the manufacturer, TPO offers superior low-temp impact resistance, higher heat-deflection and greater dimensional stability than ABS or fiberglass. This cab features door and rear panel sliders that are made of Impact Modified Acrylic to allow airflow and access from the cab.
Available in black, cab components — base frame, roof, windshield, doors and rear panel — can be purchased separately or as a complete cab. US and foreign patents pending.
