Contact Us The ULTRA CART™: The Next Generation Of Pit Carts From CTECH… Weston, WI - Originally introduced by Richard Childress Racing (RCR) at the 2007 Daytona 500, the ”Ultra”, is now available to all types of racing. Developed over a two year period, the “Ultra” was created for race teams looking for a competitive edge.. “The development of the Ultra Cart reflects the changing trends in motor sports” according to Jim Greenheck, President of CTECH Aluminum Trailer Cabinets of Weston WI, designers and producers of the Ultra Cart. “There was a time when a pit cart carried tools and supplies exclusively,” Greenheck adds. “The goal was to develop a dependable cart that was light weight, functional and could travel without incident, which is why we developed the Motion Latch™ mechanism for our drawers.” However, with the popularity of motor sports, especially the NASCAR Circuit in which RCR fields three teams, the fan base represents a sizeable target for marketers of a variety of products. With a unique set of needs, RCR sought out CTECH based on their reputation for high quality, innovative products and problem solving. The result was an intense collaboration of RCR engineers and team members, and CTECH personnel. They produced a new direction in carts for a new generation of Race professionals. “The Ultra Cart serves a unique, dual purpose”, Greenheck continues, “It accommodates the needed electronics, such as data acquisition systems and monitors for providing immediate replays and supplying performance information vital for winning. It also is a great platform for entertaining guests such as sponsors, media and other important business contacts.” “In today’s competitive environment, recruiting sponsors and working with other interests in the business world are an important, necessary function and a pit cart allowing an intimate view of every pit stop, and the race in general, is an added business tool. “The bottom line is a race team is more than just a race team, it’s a Brand to be developed, nurtured and grown. The Ultra Cart introduces a level of accessibility for the sponsors and crew, which wasn’t available in this manner before. The Ultra Cart creates new opportunities for race teams and sponsors to advance their companies and products, “Greenheck concludes. “Ultra” Features Include: • Ultra Media Deck™ - This highly engineered upper platform features CTECH’s exclusive Ultra Media Deck™. The Ultra Deck offers racers a fast, efficient set up for data acquisitions, monitors, as well as providing additional media seating. • Recessed Self Leveling Stabilizers - Electric over hydraulic stabilizers automatically level the Ultra Cart providing stability and security on pit lane, or in the shop. • Pull And Stow™ Handle - The pull handle’s unique design placement minimizes the effort of pulling the cart, as all the energy is directed forward, not upward. Add the unique Pull&Stow™ handle design, and you’ve created another clean panel for branding or advertising for sponsors. • Zero Scrub Steering Design - This exciting new design makes steering and motion effortless. Combined with 4-wheel Ackerman steering, and Urethane run flat tires, the “Ultra” moves easily on Custom billet wheels • Chassis Platform - The entire monocoque frame is built of aluminum with steel only used for supports and spindles. This chassis design is extremely strong, offering tremendous weight savings and rigidity for heavier loads. For more information, Contact Dean Lee at CTECH - (715) 355-8842
