As an owner or operator, time is money. When a machine is down for 20 hours due to a damaged roller from ice and snow, that downtime will hurt the business. Prefer Traxx, now operating as ThermoTraxx, eliminates the risk of your undercarriages parts from being damaged, while saving your operators hours of strenuous work cleaning out frozen undercarriages, all while increasing operator safety.
