People moving at parks
look with more aggressive pricing and the same safety standards expected from any passenger carrying product. The company’s Leah Munoz commented: “Each client is
their very own fingerprint but we always take their facility, terrain and overall application into consideration when recommending a product. Every customer has a special need to consider based on who they service, what type of facility they operate or even what time of year it is. Every variable counts, so it’s important to get very detailed about your big picture.” In relation to the service and maintenance of vehicles,
Specialty Vehicles works closely with facility staff and can train them in the proper service and maintenance of its people movers, while looking to the future, Munoz notes: “People moving systems will continue to grow in emerging markets. This ‘global economy’ has created tremendous growth opportunities for our niche and will continue to open up as the market evolves. Also, we have seen many facilities turning to green alternatives, eliminating auto traffic, and transitioning to tram service to shuttle guests/ pedestrians is going to be a more popular choice among parks nationwide.” Trams International Trams International’s (TI) total focus and only product is tram people movers. According to the company, TI designs, manufactures and markets the largest product line of tram people movers of any manufacturer in the world. The company’s trams feature a wide selection of responsible
environmentally fuels including electric,
propane, bio-diesel, diesel and gasoline. Passenger capacities range from 18 up to 200 and the vehicles are operated in locations such as amusement parks, state and national parks, zoos, resorts, gardens, airports, manufacturing facilities and more. TI has spent the past decade developing and evolving a
very extensive tram product line that includes trams that are three, four and five passengers wide. This product line includes trams featuring a contemporary, modern styling, classic ‘old time’ trolley design and fun ‘put a smile on your face’ choo-choo design, while company president Don Duffy further explains: “The cornerstone of each of TI’s models is passenger safety. Each tram features the convenience and safety of low floor entry, plus a host of safety features. To achieve maximum safety and long term reliable performance TI designs and builds its most popular models from the ground up as purpose-built, venue specific vehicles. In the low speed tram business ‘one size fits all’ doesn’t work!” TI also offers its exclusive Early Trailer Brake Activation
(ETBA) system which automatically activates the trailer brakes prior to the powercar brakes for the prevention of ‘jack knifing,’ along with a host of other options for its vehicles. TI poses a number of questions to new customers to fully
understand their requirements, covering aspects such as type of location, number of passengers, fuel type required, type of road surface, duty cycle and more.
Trams International offer a wide range of vehicles suitable for use in a variety of locations
