Zeal Motor Inc., fabricant du renomm\u00e9 FAT TRUCK\u00ae, souligne une nouvelle innovation d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e par l’un de ses concessionnaires, RufDiamond de Sudbury, en partenariat avec le Coll\u00e8ge Cambrian. Les deux organisations ont mis au point une plateforme de levage d\u00e9ployable pour le FAT TRUCK\u00ae, d\u00e9sormais utilis\u00e9e pour appuyer les efforts de lutte contre les feux de for\u00eat dans le Nord-Ouest de l’Ontario. <\/p>\n
La plateforme permet \u00e0 un FAT TRUCK\u00ae de transporter une charge utile pouvant atteindre 2 200 livres jusqu’\u00e0 des sites sans acc\u00e8s routier, de soulever la plateforme du v\u00e9hicule, de s’en d\u00e9gager en roulant, puis de d\u00e9poser la charge au sol \u2014 le tout sans \u00e9quipement de levage externe. Cette innovation r\u00e9pond \u00e0 un d\u00e9fi persistant du d\u00e9ploiement en r\u00e9gions \u00e9loign\u00e9es : d\u00e9charger l’\u00e9quipement sans grue ni mat\u00e9riel de levage sur place.<\/p>\n
La technologie est pass\u00e9e rapidement du concept \u00e0 une utilisation op\u00e9rationnelle r\u00e9elle. Lors d’une conf\u00e9rence de presse tenue en juillet 2026 au Coll\u00e8ge Cambrian, l’unit\u00e9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 confirm\u00e9e pour un d\u00e9ploiement dans le cadre de la crise des feux de for\u00eat qui s\u00e9vit dans le Nord-Ouest de l’Ontario. <\/p>\n
\u00ab Sans Cambrian, cela serait rest\u00e9 une simple possibilit\u00e9, peut-\u00eatre un jour \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Daryl Adams, pr\u00e9sident de RufDiamond, \u00e0 propos du d\u00e9veloppement de la plateforme.<\/p>\n
Le projet a r\u00e9cemment re\u00e7u un financement de 150 000 $ du Conseil de recherches en sciences naturelles et en g\u00e9nie du Canada (CRSNG), qui appuiera l’utilisation de mat\u00e9riaux avanc\u00e9s et l’optimisation structurelle afin de rendre le syst\u00e8me de levage plus l\u00e9ger et plus \u00e9conome en \u00e9nergie. Ce m\u00eame financement soutiendra \u00e9galement la mise au point d’une tra\u00eene \u00e0 glisser sur mesure pour le transport de fournitures en terrain arctique. En incluant la contribution en argent et en nature de RufDiamond, la valeur totale du projet, \u00e9chelonn\u00e9 sur deux ans, s’\u00e9l\u00e8ve \u00e0 227 500 $. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10678,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":["post-10675","press","type-press","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
