Hi all, as you may know, here at ATT, we strive to fabricate your perfect system to help you wheel out your heavy gear.

The beauty of hand built products is we can accommodate just about any request.

Here we have a customer with a HUGE 12" newt on a LiteRoc tripod with a CEM70 mount, but to keep the scope as low as

possible, we opted for the tripods minimum foot spread of 700mm while keeping the TRUK to our standard tripod size.

This not only gave the customer a much larger footprint for the 10" pneumatic wheels to help spread the load while moving

but it also let us add our standard 900mm foot spread holes for future rigs with larger tripods.

All the customer needs to do is move the removable cupped foot holders to the other positions, instantly creating new future

upgrades for different tripods.

Our worldwide sales are now becoming a day to day normality, with orders coming in from all over the globe with so many

now in the USA and Europe, so please email us to see what we can build for you.

All our range of systems are made from 3mm steel box section 60mm X 40mm with stainless steel 316 fixings and then fully

powder coated for longevity, also, all our TRUK's have been professionally load tested to 1102lbs on a relatively smooth terrain,

TUFF by name, tough by design, and remember wink.gif

 

“Don’t let the weight of your scope limit the hobby, Astro TUFF TRUK makes every set up a smooth ride”

 

Clear skies all.

Lee and Matt.

Another USA order lands at the customers house in Oklahoma today, yet again, another adaption of our Tripod TRUK with 700mm and 900mm tripod spread holes for the detachable cups making future tripods / upgrades more adaptable. This customer also received our new luminescent 125mm spreader discs for soft lawn areas.

Get in touch for the strongest, most durable scope trolley on the market.

Clear skies all.

ATT.

Hi all,

Just a quick picture of the 3 main stages of our head unit, from cold saw cutting to MIG welding up and finally hand grinding with an orbital finish ready for its

next stage of fabrication onto the main TRUK frame before eventually heading off to the powder coaters.

All our TRUK's are meticulously inspected and hand prepped before final release for coating up.

These 3 heads are soon to be heading out to California as our USA customer count and support has gone crazy this summer, so thank you all waytogo.gif

Clear skies,

Lee & Matt.
