ASV explores remote control technology

GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. – ASV Holdings Inc., a manufacturer of compact track loaders and skid-steers, explores remote control technology on its machines. ASV displayed a test model at a recent dealer meeting, allowing dealers to experience the feature hands on.

“We’re seeing the market for this type of technology advance at a rapid rate and it’s important for us to stay on the forefront,” said Buck Storlie, ASV Holdings Inc. product line manager. “Though there are no plans for its immediate use, our dealers enjoyed testing the remote-control technology”

ASV dealers had an opportunity to try the feature for themselves on ASV’s RT-120 Posi-Track loader. Dealers stood outside the enclosed operating area and directed the machine through common tasks, such as avoiding obstacles, digging and hauling material.

ASV will continue to test new innovations and improve the company’s machines, allowing operators to do more work in more places. ASV has no immediate plans to integrate the feature into its machines at this time but will continue testing it and other technological advancements.
