There are basically two environments that need the Black Bruin solution. Firstly, those where hydraulic motors must work in treacherous conditions – muddy or waterlogged terrain. Then there are mountainous regions where it is even more important to have the best possible traction and trailers with hydraulic motors to get them up steep gradients. In both of these environments, the users may be professionals or recreational users.
The meaning of the Black Bruin drive axle really is that you have more power, so you can drive where others cannot and do better quality work in all conditions. So you have a machine that works better and for longer every day.
Metsjö is a company which excels in building transport solutions for professional users needing to operate both on and off road.
