2024 MUDD-OX FORT MAC FM85

The Mudd-Ox Fort Mac is the end product of many years of vigorous testing in the oil fields in Fort McMurray, Canada. It’s our fully industrial, high duty cycle soldier. An 85 hp Ford gasoline engine provides necessary power to pull heavy loads. A heavy duty cooling system is mounted to the roll bar to ensure operators can drive the vehicle for many hours at a time. We are redefining the capabilities of amphibious vehicles.

If additional passenger compartment space is required, we offer Fort Mac with the same 57 hp Kubota engine as used in the XL model. There is no radiator or exhaust mounted to the roll bar with this engine.

A Tank’s Drivetrain

Fort Mac drives just like our XL model with the same precision controls, however this utilizes four individual hydraulic wheel motors. One motor is mounted per each corner wheel. Center wheels are idlers for the tracks, meaning the drivetrain is setup just like a military tank. Users must always use tracks on the Fort Mac – just like a tank.

Fort Mac Applications

This is an ideal machine for those with intended to use the vehicle around the clock without stopping, have extremely demanding applications, or want to perform very little maintenance. Fort Mac is our most industrialized model – each component is heavy duty to ensure longevity and cost efficiency over time.

Steering Wheel Controls

Our goal is to have a diverse range of products that meets everyone’s needs. If the traditional dual steering levers will not work for your application, we offer an automotive style steering wheel with gas and brake pedal. This is an excellent option for rental fleets or operators with disabilities.

Remote Controls

The RC setup can be installed in conjunction with our steering wheel, allowing for both manual operation inside the Mudd-Ox and remote operation. Having these two control options opens the door for a wide range of job site capabilities.

If only remote control is necessary, we can build the Mudd-Ox without an upper body as shown in the video below. Similar to our amphibious trailer design, we add framework around the lower body that adds extra support on the sidewalls. It both supports the lower body and adds mounting points for a customer to install their own parts on top. Examples include platforms, storage units, lights, etc.
