All-Terrain Hauler Goes Everywhere
 ✖  |
Fat Trucks from Zeal Motor go where nothing else can. With 5-ft. by 24-in. tires, they float in water, and with only 3 to 4 psi, they also float over most obstacles. Add spikes, and they chew their way across ice. They carry people, cargo and specialized equipment like cranes, water tanks, material spreaders or firefighting equipment.
“When we started the company, we were selling mainly to people who needed access to power lines, pipelines and mines,” says Amine Khimjee, ZealMotor. “We expanded to search and rescue, the military and border patrol and more recently the private market.”
Zeal Motor was founded in 2018 and introduced its first model in 2019. Seven years later, it has five vehicle models and two trailer models. The company runs two assembly lines and has a production capacity of 500 per year.
All models share a joystick control, hydraulic wheel motors, an onboard display and an onboard compressor that can inflate or deflate tires within 10 seconds. Highly customizable, all vehicle models offer 41 options. They can handle slopes up to 35 degrees (70%) and traverse sidehills up to 22 degrees (40%).
“Our Fat Trucks create access when an area is otherwise inaccessible,” says Khimjee. “They can even climb over a 3-ft. high obstacle. On the military side, we offer remote-controlled vehicles.
Models include the 2.4 and 2.8 pickups, the 2.8 and 8x8 wagons, and the 8x8 hauler. Trailers include an amphibious version for use with Fat Trucks and the transport trailer to carry them to the worksite.
The four-wheel pickups and 2.8 wagon are equipped with 74-hp CAT engines with a turning radius of 0 degrees. The eight-wheel 8x8 wagon and 8x8 hauler feature 173-hp Cummins engines with a turning radius of 24 ft.
The 2.4 pickup can seat up to four passengers and has a 2,000-lb. payload, and a 3,000-lb. towing capacity.
The 2.8 pickup and 2.8 wagon each seat up to eight passengers, can carry a 2,200-lb. payload and have a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs.
“The 2.4 pickup is designed primarily for private users, such as hunters,” says Khimjee.
The 8x8 wagon and hauler are actually two cars each. The wagon can seat four passengers in the front and 12 in the rear. Its front car has a payload of 1,000 lbs. and its rear car has a payload of 3,000 lbs.
The 8x8 Hauler seats up to four passengers in the front car, with a payload capacity of 1,000 lbs. It’s equipped with a backup/four-way camera system. The rear car has a payload capacity of 4,000 lbs.
If the vehicles are unique, so is their production. Aside from engines, transmissions, wheels and tires, all other components are sourced within 300 miles of company headquarters.
“Even the steel and aluminum come from around us,” says Khimjee. “The tires and wheels are the only components not manufactured in the U.S. and Canada and only because nothing like them is made here.”
The base price for the 2.4 pickup is $100,000, and options can add another $50,000.
