ICON™ Control Panel
The TriTrax™ 380 Vertical Crawler is operated using the ICON™ Software vehicle control panel.
Three-Track Operation
The three-track tripod arrangement of the
TriTrax™ 200 presents a unique control task to the operator.
The bottom two tracks work as an ordinary tractor pair controlled by the ICON track joystick control. The
joystick is used as with any tractor pair to guide the vehicle forward, backwards and around corners. ICON
automatically runs the third track at the average speed of the lower pair. For example, when driving straight
forward or straight back, the top track runs forward or backwards at the same speed as the two lower racks.
However, when turning, the top track slows to a speed in between the lower two tracks. When executing a
spot-turn, the top track does not move at all. With this control arrangement, the vertical crawler operates
evenly down straightaways and around corners.
