“EZ Trac is a unique product with a wide range of applications,” said Jamil Young, president, Fontaine Modification 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 medium- and heavy-duty Class 6, 7, and 8 trucks without putting extra stress on existing engine components, according to the manufacturer. The system helps vehicles maintain factory turning radius and ground clearance while allowing for a lower center of gravity to decrease risk of overturn.
EZ Trac improves a truck’s turning radius to 50 degrees from the standard range of 36 to 42 degrees, which improves maneuverability in challenging off-road environments. EZ Trac is a good fit for vocational truck fleets 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, 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.”
