How an Antarctic Travers works with Elphinstone Antarctic Equipment.
Perhaps, one of the greatest advancements in Antarctic scientific exploration is the ability to economically and reliably transport large, heavy loads of equipment and supplies to remote inland study sites and stations.
For the best part of four decades, Elphinstone Engineering’s innovative, specialised low-maintenance Antarctic equipment has paved the way in design and innovation by reliably transporting vital supplies through the Antarctic’s harsh interior. Elphinstone’s Antarctic designers participate in traverses to gain essential firsthand knowledge required to optimise payload capacity, decrease drag to reduce fuel consumption and finally withstand the unforgiving Antarctic conditions.
