Built for Antarctica

Perform any task where nature is at its toughest. Whatever the job—get it done faster, safer, and without compromise.

One Machine. Many Possibilities

One Machine. Many Possibilities

From prepping runways to base work or heavy-duty construction—the Bison Antarctic adapts to your mission with the right tools for the job.

Ready for Any Transport Mission

Ready for Any Transport Mission

Equipped with the Multipurpose Transport Cabin, the Bison Antarctic carries crews and supports rescue and research. It also moves heavy loads.

Features

Ideal Power Performance
To be powerful and reliable in the toughest cold conditions the Bison has a Stage IIIA engine, which does not require AdBlue/DEF and can use a variety of different fuel types, such as Jet A1, SAB, or AN8. To start the engine in the toughest conditions and keep it running smoothly, it comes with the purpose-built Polar Kit. Specialized protection systems prevent ice buildup on the cooling system, exhaust pipe and air intake.

Power and reliability

Passengers, Rescue & Research
The multipurpose Transport Cabin can be used for passenger transportation, rescue or as a research vehicle, providing a capacity of 11.3 m³ or 15 people. An autonomous heating system doesn’t place restrictions on the standard use of the snow groomer. The fixation point for a rescue sled ensures safe transportation of individuals in need of medical care.

Heavy Duty
The Bison is designed to move loads up to 30 tonnes. This makes the Bison the ideal transport vehicle for fuel tanks, residential and research units, containers and everything else you need, without compromising its standard functions as a snow groomer.

Transportation

Custom Interface
The customizable Prinoth Control Unit is convenient and practical. Each operator can tailor the user interface with their preferred shortcuts and vehicle settings. This means that each time they take the sticks, their relevant settings are saved with the RFID key – making the start-up process faster.

Single Touch
The 12” tilting touchscreen makes everything easy to see at night or during the day. The rearview camera display can be changed to large or small on the screen. And most important, vital details about the machine such as quick access pages, engine, tiller and winch are always visible.

Prinoth Control Unit

Precise Control & Comfortable Operation
The “joystick-in-joystick” design provides precise blade and tiller control and allows simultaneous blade movement. The ergonomic joystick hand rest enables hours of smooth, comfortable operation. The reaction time has been reduced making it easier for operators to feel the blade in action which increases accuracy and operator comfort.

Joystick-in-Joystick

A Cockpit For Top Performance
Modern, stylish, quiet, comfortable – the Bison’s large cabin makes working a pleasure. The large cabin with its compact interior heater and optional sound system creates a comfortable home base for the operator, working long shifts in the vehicle.

For Utmost Safety
To enhance safety, an inactivity alarm is activated when there is no action on the Prinoth Control Unit for a certain period of time, for example if the operator experiences drowsiness or distraction while driving. It sets off a visual and acoustic alarm and if there is no response, it slows down the vehicle eventually stopping it.

Cabin Comfort

Standard Center Seat
The standard center seat, tilting touch display, LED lighting with a halogen spotlight give a great all-round view and allow the operator to get in and out on either side.

Additional seating options
The cabin can be equipped with two additional full-size passenger seats to transport your team.
