System T

Overview over the four Traution Traction Systems

This graphic shows the variants of the T_System.

System T was developed for applications, in which the U-System (e.g. because of deficient ground clearance) and the L-System (e.g. because of limitations to the loading bed) cannot be considered. In contrast to the L-System, where the vertical lifting units are positioned on extendible rails, the units are tiltable around a fixed or extendible axis in the T-System. This also enables the basic functionalities: vehicle lifting, shifting forward or backward lengthwise, vehicle lowering again and the concluding tilt back of the vertical lifting units.
The System is space-saving because no horizontal rails have to be installed. The vertical lifting units can be one-pieced or extend telescopically in order to facilitate an especially compact assembly.
The downside of the T-System compared to the U- or L-System are the lower achievable feed forces, especially in one direction (forward or backward). That's because the tilting cylinders have to be connected to the rails of the vertical lifting units. When the vertical lifting units are extended, they act as a long lever arm, by what the tilting cylinders need to create a huge swing torque.
Interestingly, the problem with the force occurs either only in forward or only in backward direction, depending on where the system is attached to the vehicle. When the rear axle takes off the ground, the system generates more feed force in the forward direction than backwards. When the system is attached to the front and the front axle takes off, it is the other way around. The reason is that gravity is helping the preferred direction. During tilting, the lifted axle is lowered and therefore pushes the feet in addition to the force of the tilting cylinders due to the weight of the vehicle.

System T: rear

This recovery system is for all who don't like getting stuck because the Traution traction system is there to get your off-road vehicle or jeep unstuck out of deep sand. The rescue device also helps in mud and snow because of its grip and the ability to lift the four by four and let the four wheel drive climb in the roughest all-terrain conditions on any dirt road. Not only all wheel drive cars benefit from the cross-country ability.

This shows the T-variant of the Traution traction system in its retracted state.

The upper picture shows the attachment of the T-System to the rear of the vehicle in a telescopic variant, which means that the vertical lifting unit is segmented. Thereby the unit can be very compact in the retracted, deactivated state. If mounted to a car's rear side, it could be attached to the trailer hitch and thus easily be mounted and dismounted. However a torque support is needed. If the system would be mounted to the tow ball only, it would create a huge tilting torque around it. If this would not be supported by additional elements, the upper part of the unit would push itself into the back door.

System T: sidewise

There is no need to cry when you got stuck with your all-terrain vehicle in rough off-road conditions because there is a Traution traction system attached that gets you unstuck all the time even in the deepest mud. The recovery system helps you in sand cross-country every time on all dirt roads even if you don't have a four wheel drive. So this makes it the perfect rescue device in snow also for none all wheel drive cars and trucks.

The T-System can be attached to the side of the vehicle too. Whoever can life with it can just let it protrude sidewise and the vehicle becomes wider. This however should only be possible in a few countries. In most countries, the width of the vehicle is not allowed to be increased so easily.

That's why we developed a sidewise attachable T-System, which can extend to the right and the left out of the vehicle's side when it's needed. This is especially useful for vehicles with a loading bed, e.g. flat bed trucks.

In order to create space for the intake of the vertical lifting units, a small recess needs to be created at the sides of the bed. The vertical lifting units can extend sidewards, because they are assembled to horizontal guide rods bedded in crossbars. These rods can be pushed outward hydraulically to the left and the right. After that, the actual procedure can be startet, as the vertical lifting units lift the vehicle and then push it lengthwise by tilting.

This shows the sidewise extendable T-System in its retracted state.

System T: front

Don't be afraid to get stuck because getting unstuck is now easy with a Traution traction system for any off-road dirt road even in the deepest snow. Sand and mud is also no problem for the recovery system in all-terrain and cross-country situations for any four by four vehicle. Cars and trucks don't even have to have a four wheel drive because the grip of the rescue system is amazing. All wheel drive cars profit just as well.

The T-System can be assembled to the front as well, in order to lift the front axle. In the telescopic variant, the unit is compact enough to not impair the forward-facing view of the driver.
It is also possible to mount two or even more T-Systems to the vehicle in order to lift it completely. For example to the front and rear or or to the front and sides or to the rear and sides.
The example in the picture shows the combination front and sides.
