Elevate Search and Rescue motor System

$ 3,195

Elevate is a removable, lightweight, and powerful motor. With this kit, we have adapted Elevate for Search and Rescue applications. Custom mounting brackets are designed to fit the Cascade Rescue Terra Tamer wheel and the drive unit ships with software settings tuned for SAR use.

Notes:

  • Elevate is currently a beta-stage product.
  • It has shown reasonable reliability in drier climates and proven highly valuable in speeding up recoveries, reducing the number of people needed for a recovery, and reducing rescuer fatigue
  • The drive unit is curretly sealed to a level that is capable of operating in light rain but is not yet sealed for heavy rain or submersion
  • We are actively working on improving the water sealing of the system
  • We offer full warranty support for all uses as field learnings are valuable for continued development
  • We recommend careful consideration when using this system for live rescues in very wet conditions
