Welcome to Traution Traction Systems
Get unstuck within seconds without leaving your car, truck or tractor.
The Traution Products
The Traution products were developed in order to achieve a clear goal: If a vehicle gets stuck, the activation of the system enables it to get out again, without the driver having to leave the cabin. For this you can either take the remote controlled bot with you in the trunk, which is going to pull you out with its winch and ground anchor.
Or you can mount a Traution System in either the version U, L, T or R to your vehicle. Each of these systems has its advantages and disadvantages. If you are irresolute, what system you would like to have assembled to your car, truck, tractor, ATV or construction vehicle, we recommend to first check out the system U.
The video above shows an army truck as an exhibition demonstration vehicle. That's why it has got three Traution Systems assembled to it (System U, T und R). Of course, for your vehicle you only need one traction system for maximum grip.
In case, the System U cannot fulfill your requirements (e.g. ground clearance or the ability to climb over bigger obstacles), it makes sense to consider using the System L for your operational conditions.
The System T has advantages concerning its installation space, because no linear rails have to be mounted. But it cannot create the huge forward-pushing-forces that the System L is able to exert.
The System R should be your last choice. In contrast to the System U, L and T, it is a 360° rotating system with long lever arms. This means, the System U must be dimensioned so that it can withstand the enormous torque, which makes it heavy and expensive. But the System R has got one advantage over the linear systems: You just have to push one button and the system makes as many revolutions as you need. This is useful when you want to move longer distances over extremely muddy or snowy terrain. Using the linear systems in contrast, you have to push an extra button for each sub-step (lifting, pushing forward or backward, lowering), which can get tedious when you want to do many repetitions. We are working on an automaticlly controlled version of the linear systems that is going to perform these steps on itself without you having to push an extra button for each sub-step.
Furthermore, the System R can lift a vehicle over rather high obstacles, because the lever arms can hold on to it far up. And in certain situations, it can allow for more traction (given the same foot-profile), than a back-mounted System L, because the feet of the System L are further away from the center of gravity when they are fully extended backward.
