A RANGER with a ‘HIPPO’

Polaris has engineered a Polaris RANGER CREW Diesel side-by-side utility vehicle with an integrated multi-power system, a first for vehicles in this category. A flip of a switch allows operators to power hydraulic, pneumatic, electric and welding equipment directly from the vehicle’s diesel engine through the integrated HIPPO Multipower System from the Mobile Hydraulic Equipment Company.

The Polaris RANGER with HIPPO MPS represents a continued expansion into non-traditional markets for Polaris to serve its increasing base of work customers. Operators in the rail, municipal, construction, oil and gas, rental, utilities and mining industries as well as the military already consider the proven HIPPO MPS indispensable and this all-in-one solution increases their flexibility and mobility even more. This is the first time a Polaris vehicle’s engine has been engineered to power a robust multi-power system like the HIPPO.

A properly maintained vehicle will simply need to be fueled up and it is ready to go since all the equipment is powered from the RANGER’s 24-horsepower diesel engine. This feature greatly reduces the maintenance time associated with four separate systems. The integrated HIPPO 1041CP Multipower System has one hydraulic tool circuit, two quick-disconnect pneumatic fittings, two 120-volt electric outlets at 20 amps and one welding console with quick disconnects.

The RANGER is the perfect vehicle to partner with the HIPPO MPS. Features such as seating for three, On-Demand True All-wheel drive to tackle tough terrain, 500-pound cargo box capacity and one ton of towing capacity, ensure a highly-capable vehicle able to tackle the toughest of tasks.

Lacrosse Alphaburly Sport ‘Reboot’

The new Burly Pro outsole featuring superior traction and stability with no mud build-up provides underfoot support. The Alphaburly Pro series includes two side-zip styles to support easy on and off.

The series includes styles with Advantage Max-4 HD®, Realtree Xtra Green®, Realtree Xtra®, Mossy Oak® Break-Up Infinity®, and Forest Green to support all seasons.
