The Squadra Patrol Toboggan is an improved toboggan design featuring a flat bottom shell. After years of practical experience and input from dozens of users, we have truly made a break-through raised center gives ultimate speed in any condition, and the Running Fins mounted on the outside walls of the toboggan ensure that there is no unnecessary drag placed on the process for the composite itself. Using Resin Transfer Molds (RTM), we are able to determine the exact resin-to-fiber content required for the different parts of the toboggan ensuring it is as strong as possible, and giving a completely consistent finish inside and out.
The Squadra's width has been increased to 24 inches to allow for more room for the patient and gear. The leading edge of the stainless steel Running Fins will not mushroom out like softer aluminum does, and due to its strength, a much thinner material, is used to slice through the hard-pack with ease. The Running Fins are also canted outward slightly, giving the down-hill runner a more aggressive stance. Running fins measure 40 inches long x 1 1/2 inches below Deck.
With the Running Fins moved to the sides of the toboggan the cleanest and fastest possible sliding surface has been created. You are ensured a very efficient glide through all conditions, allowing you to spend the least amount of energy possible in getting the toboggan through flats or slow conditions. Having the fins canted outward, the cornering ability and handling is second-to-none.
The Squadra Chain-Brake System has several features that need to be seen to be appreciated. There are two different systems of engaging and disengaging the chain brake. Our unique ring system with the chain-brake cord attached, runs up and down either handle, enabling the patroller to either control the brake on-the-fly, or use the traditional system of pulling up the chain-brake and locking it off behind the patroller. Both systems are integrated and come as a standard feature.
The on-hill management of our fleet of toboggans is critical. Our patented Chairlift Loader System option is quick and easy to use, and it can be readied to upload the toboggan in a matter of seconds without taking off your gloves. Simply fold the handles back and secure with the two foot-end restraint strap. You then lift the Loader Bar to its full-up position and you are ready to go. You no longer need to waste your time waiting for, or hunting down, the separate chairlift loader, and there is no more fighting with attachment clips and hard-to-get-at rings as with other systems.
Light to the feel but tough as nails, our aluminum handles give you tremendous control over the toboggan in any condition. Every handle is reinforced from the inside with stainless steel tubing that is gauged to give just the right flexibility along with ultimate durability and strength. The handle-ends have been turned down, allowing you to easily pull the toboggan in flats without wasting energy on the grip, and the low-profile design allows them to stay out of the way.
