SUPER PEEWEE® IV FEATURES

Many Accessories Available  (CLICK HERE FOR LIST OF ACCESSORIES &  PACKAGES)

Revolutionary new three mode transmission featuring conventional, crab and round steering that can be shifted while the dolly is moving or stationary, without the dolly operator's hands leaving the steering handle.  This transmission has the ability to be adjusted to provide perfect steering geometry when reconfiguring the chassis to its various leg positions.   No other transmission has been able to do this. The Super PeeWee® IV now provides for much less maintenance. (a) The need for air bleeding has been eliminated. (b) Corrosion resistance has been dramatically improved. (c) All exposed working joints have been sealed. (d) Far greater precision greatly reduces the need for adjustments.  All adjustments, if required by operator's specific desires, can be done externally without removing bolted covers or lids. (e) Steering chain adjustments have been virtually eliminated, dramatically reducing maintenance time. (f) Larger hydraulic capacity requires less recharging. (g) Greater strength reduces the possibility of damage. (h) Modular design of steering transmission and shifting linkage facilitates quick and easy replacements.

New arm design provides greater operator clearance, while assuring greater rigidity, smoothness, speed and added vertical travel.  This new trim arm design also allows for lower camera setups when the camera is located above the chassis.  All edges and corners are rounded to provide for greater operator comfort.

New valve concept gives the operator much improved control, providing for greater speed with added precision.

Stop valve now requires no tools to make adjustments.  Accessibility is now directly in front of the dolly operator, providing for quick and easy adjustments.

Improved Universal Head performance is now achieved.  Added arm precision, a control cylinder and a middle rib provides major gains in safety and rigidity.

Improved arm performance is exhibited with five full strokes of the arm on a single charge, while still achieving added vertical travel.  The rigidity has been dramatically increased.  The profile has been streamlined, providing added clearance for lower lens levels when operating over the chassis.  This new design also adds to operator comfort.  The new internal drive mechanism is smoother and maintenance- free.

Improved valve design provides for smoother, faster and quieter arm control.  The dolly operator control has been significantly improved.

The Super PeeWee® IV has a new sideboard system.  Feedback from thousands of users and our own survey has led to this new design that provides complete walk-a-round ability at both the high and low levels.

Leg positions have been improved to enhance performance by providing: (a) 0º position for narrowest configuration with standard tires. (b) 10º position for narrowest configuration with pneumatic tires OR for side mounting the dolly on 880 mm track. (c) 44º position for standard 24½" track alignment and general all-around use. (d) 84º position for maximum lateral stability or for side mounting dolly on 24½" track. (e) Front legs at 84º, rear legs at 0º. This is the three-point contact position for standard tires which is great for outdoor use on rough terrain. (f) 70º position where Tread and Wheel Base are Equal, called the S position. (g) Front legs at 84º, rear legs at 10º. This is the three-point contact position for pneumatic tires, which is great for outdoor use on rough terrain. (h) Front legs at 180º and the rear legs at 0º provides the most compact dolly configuration with Standard Solid Tires, making the Super PeeWee® IV efficient, even in especially tight quarters.

The Super PeeWee® IV now comes with built-in heat control for the hydraulic system to maintain a minimum hydraulic oil temperature of 70°F, thus providing constant performance, even in the coldest environment.                ABOVE: New & Improved Universal Leveling Head ABOVE: This transmission has the ability to be adjusted (two modes are available) to provide perfect steering geometry when reconfiguring the chassis to its various leg positions.
