Kodiak Power

WHY KODIAK POSI-DRIVE IS THE BEST POWER OPERATION OPTION IN THE BLEACHER INDUSTRY TODAY.

The Kodiak Posi-5, Posi-10 and Posi-HD traction power systems are superior to all other systems in the same way that an independent suspension is superior to all other suspension systems. The Posi-drive systems are based on two established facts:

1. Independently hinged traction power systems are smoother and supply better, more consistent traction than “fixed” systems, and…

2. Bleacher tractors work significantly better with weight saddled to them (separately from the bleacher’s own weight) than they do if they rely only on weight from the bleacher.

An irregular, uneven floor surface can cause binding and spinning when the tractors are “fixed” firmly underneath the first row. The “hinging” of Kodiak tractors under the first row ensures consistent traction regardless of floor surface.

Inadequate weight on bleacher tractors will reduce traction and can cause “bunny-hopping” of the first row during operation.

ELECTRIC OPERATION SPECIFICATION: Kodiak “Posi-Drive” Propulsion System:

The entire system shall open and close by the Kodiak “Posi-Drive” system. All motors to be ½ HP instant reversing automatic resent 120/208/240 VAC. All tractor frames to be made from 7-gauge steel. All axle shafts to be 1” steel, all wheels to be vulcanized rubber. All drive chains and sprockets to be #50. All speed reducers to be Helical Drive. All tractors in the system must be mounted “free floating” to the first row of the bleacher with heavy duty hinges and grade 5 hardened steel through-bolts (for up to 11 rows) or 2 only 1” steel motor mount rods (12 rows plus), with steel bar weight harnesses set over the tractors according to the duty. The number of tractors and added weight are to be determined by the requirements based on the number of rows and type of seating. “Frictionless” systems are systems not independently operating under their own weight and requiring weight transfer from the bleacher system itself is not acceptable.
