Muskeg (vehicle)
The Muskeg , Amerindian Marsh in , is a vehicle Tout-terrain with caterpillars developed by the company Bombardier with the beginning of the Années 1950. It is especially conceived for work in forest: transport of material, the personnel and especially of the shot down trees. Great success in this field, it is dissociated by its low pressure on the ground which gives him access to the marshy grounds.
It left the factories of Valcourt, Quebec, in 1953 and gained a great business success, meeting multiple needs for work and transport in difficult grounds. One will use it thereafter as much in the the Alps for the transport of skiers, that in the the Sahara for the release of the roads and that in oil exploration in the Arctique. In 1958, one finds it in the Expédition Fuchs-Hillary which is the first to cross the the Antarctic right through while passing by the South pole. In modified versions, the Muskeg tractor is sold still today in all the corners of the world.
The division of the industrial vehicles of Bombardier , which manufactures the Muskegs , was bought in August 2004 by the company Camoplast of Sherbrooke in Quebec.
