Alongside our President, Chris Kendall, Vice President Mike Holdcraft and Product Support Engineer, Neil Wigley, FAUN Trackway® were delighted to be supported by our ACCESS AND ENVIRONMENT sector consultants John Mercer and George Walker from Mercer Associates.
As well as Mercer Associates, Jim Wank and Mike Scharra from Defense Products Marketing part of the Command Holdings Group joined the team, a continued partnership whereby FAUN Trackway® USA, Inc. and DPM collaborate to attend a number of US exhibitions throughout the year.
The predominant attraction drawing visitors to our stand was our impressive static display of our C40 ROADWAY DISPENSER; a deployment, recovery, transportation and storage device for up to 131’ 3” of C40 Trackway®.
C40 Trackway® offers a tough, durable solution for rapid access and recovery for vehicles and people in rugged, bogged down or otherwise inaccessible terrain.
We were delighted to have partnered with JCB at CONEXPO, displaying the C40 Roadway Dispenser on a JCB 560-80 Agri-Loadall (American designated 512-26 loadall) to provide a full turnkey package. Mounting the beam dispenser to a host machine via a bespoke adapter plate and quick release coupling allows one operator to deploy the C40 Trackway® in less than five minutes over the toughest of terrain.
