Traverse mobility
Pulk sled systems
Low-drag, carbon-fiber pulk sleds that track cleanly behind teams and small vehicles, distributing gear weight across fragile ice.
Equipment that holds in the absolute freeze.
Polar science equipment
From cold-rated wheels and tires to sleds, power, and sensors, we source, customize, and validate the lightweight field gear that keeps research campaigns moving in the coldest places on Earth.
Flagship · Sub-zero mobility
Wheels & tires that don't turn to stone.
Cold-rated compound tires and thermal-cycled rims for the small equipment arctic research runs on — instrument carts, micro-rovers, field UTVs, and generator trolleys. Pliable where standard rubber turns to stone, low-pressure for flotation on snow and soft tundra, studded for glare ice.
- Made for cold that breaks rubber
- Float over snow & soft tundra
- Bite on glare ice
- Sized for small research platforms
Where small equipment goes
Every campaign rides on what's underneath it.
Capabilities
Three systems built for places the maps don't show.
Thermal energy
Insulated power blocks
High-density, vacuum-insulated battery blocks that hold charge down to −55°C to power comms, sensors, and life-support gear.
Scientific sensing
Drone sensor pods
Heated micro-LIDAR and multi-spectral pods for real-time ice-field scanning, crevasse detection, and safe-path mapping.
At −55°C, steel turns as brittle as glass and rubber turns to stone. We exist to keep the work moving anyway.
