THE EAGLE EYE ATV
WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD! Here is a scenario: So you have a production to do maybe it is a shopping mall, a steel foundry, or even a golf course, you need a crane, but you have a lot of locations for beauty shots. How do we move a crane easily around from location to location. The Eagle Eye ATV is the answer. For multiple locations, it cannot be beat. For example: at the 2007 Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's Motor Speedway, We were asked to work on the "Film The History Of NASCAR." We had 14 different locations around inside and out of Lowe's Motor Speedway. More then 21 different shots, with a 32 ' crane IN ONE DAY! The latest in Camera Crane productions, designed and built completely by Eagle Eye Productions. The most mobile crane base in the industry. The electric powered unit can support the full 43 foot CamMate Camera crane. The four levelers combined with the boom leveler make repositioning a snap. The electric cart allows the unit to be used inside buildings and outside virtually anywhere. As with all of our equipment, this base is strong, stable and of course mobile. You may have seen cranes mounted on golf carts, or John Deere Gators. We have found that these are dangerous, and not built to support the weight without major modifications. Safety, strength and mobility are our main concerns in this support base. We have chosen the perfect vehicle to meet our needs, and it meets OSHA standards as well. This is NOT a homemade unit, the Taylor Dunn model B is our platform, and is made to support up to 3500 pounds, (that's more then 2000 pounds more then the Gator). We have also added levelers to overcome slopes. Each jack can support 3500 pounds and can take each wheel almost 18 inches off of the ground. The custom mount for the crane makes this a one of a kind. The ALL Electric unit is able to go just about anywhere. Inside buildings, out in parking lots, football fields, or out on a golf course, and pretty much all points in between.
These are some of the locations showing only a sample of where we can go. As the name implies, this base is truly an all terrain vehicle. The crane can be built once, then moved with ease from location to location. No longer is there a concern about the time it takes to move the crane. We just raise the load stabilizers, and head to the next shot. The load stabilizers do just that, but can also lift each corner of the rig up to 1 foot off of the ground.
Above are some shots at "The Victory Junction Gang Camp" in Level Cross, NC, and The 2008 HGTV Green Home. The shots below, are at a commercial shoot with a race car doing doughnuts under the crane.
Unmatched performance anywhere!
In a Field for The Amazing Race or on a slope for Trading Spaces, The ATV can go just about anywhere.
