ASV Holdings introduced a new two-year, 2,000-hour warranty for its Posi-Track and skid-steer loaders.
The comprehensive warranty covers compact track loader tracks for the entire warranty period. In addition, the warranty goes a step further to feature the compact track loader no-derailment guarantee.
“We’re introducing this aggressive new warranty because we have an exceptionally high level of confidence in the reliability of our field-proven loader design,” said Justin Rupar, ASV Holdings vice president of sales and marketing. “Our tracks last longer than anyone else’s, which is why this warranty does what others don’t and covers tracks for the full warranty period. Plus, we’ve always said our tracks don’t derail, but we’re going a step further and guaranteeing it on paper.”
ASV builds its loaders with a robust hydraulic system featuring direct drive pumps, large line sizes and high-quality hydraulic coolers that keep the machine running at optimal temperatures, resulting in longer component life. The systems allow machines to handle 100 percent load, 100 percent of the time in temperatures up to 118 degrees F. ASV includes metal-face seals on its Posi-Track loaders to ensure the idler wheel hubs don’t require maintenance for the life of the machine.
ASV manufactures the flexible rubber track with high-strength embedded polycord that allows the track to stretch around material that finds its way into the undercarriage. ASV manufactures the rubber track specifically to minimize weak points that can result from traditional processes. An internal positive drive sprocket joins with rubber lugs to move the track, improving longevity by reducing friction compared to steel on steel designs. Plus, bogie wheels are lined with rubber to further boost track life. ASV’s rubber tracks can provide up to 1,000 hours of additional service life.
ASV is confident in its compact track loader no-derailment guarantee thanks to the tracks’ optimal ground contact, low psi and large number of guide lugs, according to the company. The rubber tracks conform around objects. Posi-Track loaders feature more ground contact points, spreading the unit’s weight evenly for lower psi, meaning more flotation and traction. In addition, unlike traditional track loaders that include guide lugs only on the inner edge of bogie wheels, ASV includes them on the outer edge.
The no-derailment guarantee includes travel and mileage rates offered if ASV tracks do derail.
