Equipment that holds in the absolute freeze.

Polar science equipment

From cold-rated wheels and tires to sleds, power, and sensors, we source, customize, and validate the lightweight field gear that keeps research campaigns moving in the coldest places on Earth.

Flagship · Sub-zero mobility

Wheels & tires that don't turn to stone.

Cold-rated compound tires and thermal-cycled rims for the small equipment arctic research runs on — instrument carts, micro-rovers, field UTVs, and generator trolleys. Pliable where standard rubber turns to stone, low-pressure for flotation on snow and soft tundra, studded for glare ice.

  • Made for cold that breaks rubber
  • Float over snow & soft tundra
  • Bite on glare ice
  • Sized for small research platforms

Where small equipment goes

Every campaign rides on what's underneath it.

Capabilities

Three systems built for places the maps don't show.

Pulk sled systems — traverse mobility for polar field operations.

Traverse mobility

Pulk sled systems

Low-drag, carbon-fiber pulk sleds that track cleanly behind teams and small vehicles, distributing gear weight across fragile ice.

Insulated power blocks — thermal energy for polar field operations.

Thermal energy

Insulated power blocks

High-density, vacuum-insulated battery blocks that hold charge down to −55°C to power comms, sensors, and life-support gear.

Drone sensor pods — scientific sensing for polar field operations.

Scientific sensing

Drone sensor pods

Heated micro-LIDAR and multi-spectral pods for real-time ice-field scanning, crevasse detection, and safe-path mapping.

At −55°C, steel turns as brittle as glass and rubber turns to stone. We exist to keep the work moving anyway.
