FAUN Trackway USA to exhibit at AUSA 2014 with Heavy Ground Mobility Systems 0410143.

As a leading manufacturer of aluminium military products, the company will be focusing on its Heavy Ground Mobility System at the exhibition, alongside showcasing a selection of models and panel samples.

HGMS was developed for the Norwegian Army 15 years ago and is today held in the inventories of more than 35 armed forces from across the world. The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) is the most recent to order a number of the units.

The product is mounted on to a hydraulic spool and comprised of Military Load Classification (MLC) 70 aluminium Trackway. Requiring only minimal manpower for deployment, the system is fitted to the chassis of a military vehicle and powered by its engine and a full length of 50m Trackway can be laid by two men in only six minutes.

Trackway is a temporary solution designed to aid military and disaster-relief missions in challenging terrains such as sand, snow, desert and marshland. It can support tracked or wheeled vehicles weighing up to 70 tonnes as a ground-surfacing aluminium matting.

AUSA is the largest landpower exposition and professional development forum in North America and provides a platform for defence manufacturers, engineers and suppliers with armed forces personnel from across the world.

Mike Holdcraft, Vice President at FAUN Trackway USA, said: "North America offers a significant growth market for FAUN Trackway USA, so we are keen to build existing relationships on the defence circuit and forge new ones at AUSA.

"Our portable roadway and runway systems offer practical and safe access to a variety of environments to armed forces around the world and we look forward to discussing our products further with the armed forces personnel at the exhibition."
