Protective roll cage.
Health and safety are a matter of course at VITRAC. The comprehensive and objective test by the accredited and notified Suva certification authority in Switzerland certifies that the vehicle complies with the requirements of European Directive 2006/42/EG. It covers a standardised level of protection concerning prevention of machine accidents.

Uneven terrain can create a risk of tilting. VITRAC reliably counteracts this by locking the central joint in the right direction. All danger is detected by an intelligent control system which records each wheel’s ground pressure via sensors. As soon as a wheel loses ground pressure, the joint lock is
activated and a warning signal is emitted.
If the multifunction truck tilts in extreme situations, the diesel engine stops automatically and immediately. This prevents self-priming of the engine oil and resultant engine damage. Additionally, a specially developed float gauge in the hydraulic tank lid will prevent leakage of the hydraulic oil.
Two different roll cages to protect the driver and the slope-tool carrier in the event of tilting: One high roll cage, specifically developed for the head, and one low cage designed for pergolas. When reversing the seat, the roll cages can be changed over without tools.
All-round protection: The high-tensile steel plates on the underneath can cope with even the hardest of rocks, protecting all mechanical and electric components. Additionally, enclosed wheel-casing stops vines, grass and similar from entering the engine.
VITRAC’s safety is based on its low centre of gravity. This is a prerequisite for safe and efficient working on steep slopes. All hydraulic pumps and the diesel engine were installed as low as possible. The vehicle’s base consists of heavy steel. All components higher up, on the other hand, are built with light materials - as used in aircraft construction.
While the driver gets into the vehicle via the front, in an emergency, he can also exit on both the left and right by simply pushing the armrests outwards.
VITRAC is also available with foam-filled wheels, making tyre damage and pressure checks a thing of the past!
