EZ Crauler Ride-On Unit

Rugged Ride-On Unit for Utility Pole Construction on Challenging Terrain

Conquer the Elements

Our EZ Crauler unit was developed for utility pole installation in a diverse set of geological conditions, including but not limited to; mountain regions, deserts, river beds, forest areas, hurricane relief efforts, and rebuilding quickly after an earthquake.

EZ Crauler - Rugged Ride-On Unit

Low Center Of Gravity

The EZ Crauler is a tank! Our superior design and quality workmanship combine to create a force of nature. For times when the terrain seems unpassable by a line truck, You will be glad you have an EZ Crauler in your fleet.

Ride-On Unit

Jump in and go. The EZ Crauler can carry the utility pole and the transformer. In the aftermath of a hurricane, the EZ Crauler lead the way and allow you to restore services sooner.
