FAST {Forestry & Agriculture Super Tanker}
has designed a tractor based on the T72 tank called the Forestry and Agricultural Super Tractor
(“FAST”) to provide the extreme durability, manoeuvrability and safety for occupants required in
extremely hazardous situations.
The FAST is designed to be used in extreme environments, i.e. earthquakes, forest fires and hazardous
chemical or explosive environments. All these environments require a tractor that can withstand the high
temperatures of a fire, the concussions of an explosion, and provide an air-tight cabin from the resulting
gasses. The terrain caused by these environmental conditions demand a steel tracked tractor with the
absolute minimum of break-downs, as safety and reliability are the top concerns. By combining the
incredible weight to power ratio with tracks, the FAST tractor is also able to haul or pull extremely
heavy loads.
One of the nicest features of the FAST is the versatility of its carrying deck. This multi-use hydraulic
platform allows for the on and off loading of heavy modules of up to 25 tons, the ability to load and
haul other disabled vehicles/tractors, as well as having the versatility to pull loaded trailers while the
FAST tractor is itself either loaded or empty.
