General Information Of Snowmobile

The origin of snowmobiles

Snowmobiles originated from military technology. The rubber tracks used by military off-road vehicles have been proven to withstand severe cold winters. Joseph-Armand Bombardier of Quebec, Canada originally modified this design to produce large multi-functional commercial vehicles. Over time, Bombardier continued to improve the design. In 1959, his first Ski-Doo officially debuted on the market. Today, Bombardier Industries is a leader in the snowmobile industry.

The main purpose

The ski resort is a special vehicle used for rescue, transportation and entertainment. Generally, it is a front skid and rear crawler type, which can quickly move in the snow and climb up the slopes above 25 degrees. The small snow field can also be hung with snow plows to level the slopes.

The snowmobile is luxurious, safe and comfortable, simple and easy to learn, speed self-control, driving the snowmobile in the snowy field.

Snowmobiles are the most versatile and convenient means of transportation in the snow field. Its main uses include line checking, ambulance, entertainment, transportation and so on.

Snowmobile system

Snowmobiles generally have a safety system, a power system (similar to the engine of a car engine), and a crawler and steering system.

Performance characteristics

The body structure is simple, reliable and durable, all of which are crawler-type. Most of them use metal wire reinforced rubber crawlers. The crawler is wide and has a large degree of climbing. It is the basic feature of the current snowmobile.

Judging from the snowmobiles installed in the United States, the Soviet Union, Sweden, the Federal Republic of Germany and other countries, in terms of empty vehicle weight, except for the Soviet Union ГТ?Т which weighed 8t, and the Japanese Type 61 vehicle just over 5t, various models of snowmobiles in other countries Ground cars are all under 5t, and most of them are around 1t to 2t. The load capacity generally reaches about 1000kg. Therefore, the snowmobile has light weight and small size, and the main indicator is to strive to increase the load. Secondly, in order to simplify the structure and reduce the weight, there is only one driver and one to two occupants in the cockpit. The equipment is simple, with only necessary equipment such as heaters and defrosters. Some cockpits are made of light alloy. Some like the Swedish BV202 snowmobile and the Italian Prinoth snowmobile are made of articulated structure. The front and rear compartments are connected by cardan shafts to ensure that the maximum traction and steering are maintained when turning or encountering obstacles flexibility.
