Real-World Access Solutions in Action
Explore how Fat Trucks help crews reach remote infrastructure, navigate wetlands, cross challenging terrain, and complete critical work where conventional vehicles and equipment fall short. These case studies highlight real applications, operational efficiency, and the unique amphibious capabilities that make Fat Trucks effective in demanding environments.
Pipeline Project Fat Truck FT3
Pipeline Project
A south Louisiana oil and gas operator used the Fat Truck FT3 Pickup to access and inspect a hard-to-reach pipeline through vegetation-choked canals without boats or extra mobilization. The amphibious vehicle also improved canal drainage while cutting inspection time by an estimated 75%.
Remote Transmission Line Maintenance
The FT3 Wagon supported a guideline repair project in rolling hill terrain with no road access, dense brush, muddy sections, and shallow water crossings, allowing crews to reach pole sites without scouting runs or uncertainty about passable routes. Its low ground pressure, amphibious capability, and enclosed cabin enabled a full crew and equipment load to travel directly to each location in a single trip while maintaining stability through changing conditions.

FT5 Utility Access Test
A utility company used the Fat Truck FT5 Hauler to access remote pole locations across steep, rocky, waterlogged terrain that conventional trucks and UTVs could not reach. The amphibious vehicle crossed a three-foot-deep pond, climbed 20-25% grades under load, and transported transformers, anchors, tools, and crew in a single trip without detours or staging support.
Amphibious Trailer Payload Test
The FT3 Pickup and Wagon successfully towed amphibious trailers through pipeline terrain and canal crossings while maintaining full land and water capability. The system carried up to 2,200 pounds per trailer, enabling single-trip transport of crews, tools, and equipment in remote areas.
