Instant Engagement Steering™

HaloDrive Pods feature a patented technology that manages steering and drive power simultaneously. Our exclusive Instant Engagement Steering™ enables the Pods to instantly change drive modes and steering type without advanced activation or manual engagement. Each Pod has full steering and drive capabilities, and all Pods in a HaloDrive system are synchronized to operate in unison, complementing one another to provide unparalleled performance.

HaloDrive Systems are designed to be intuitive, enabling operators to drive, maneuver, and position with total control. Thus, making HaloDrive quicker, safer, and easier to use than most other steerable drive systems. So easy that the average laborer is trained and fully functional within 30 minutes.

Quickly implement functionality to improve operations, such as

  • Maneuver and position with exacting precision
  • Change directions without rotating the load
  • Begin movement at any angle regardless of direction
  • Rotate on its axis
  • 360° OR CAROUSEL
  • ALL-WHEELS STEERING
  • AROUND A POINT
  • DIAGONAL OR CRAB
  • FRONT-REAR
  • VERTICAL OR 90°

Add Omnidirectional Drive Power to Carts and Equipment.

  • The only omnidirectional motorized caster on the market for loads over 1 ton
  • Move in any direction, maneuver easily, and position with extreme precision.
  • Features patented technology that optimizes power and battery life.
