Today's lesson is that you cannot reckon the costs before
the period's end. When you buy a new snowmobile you know how much you pay
for it: but that's not all. You will pay for fuel, maintenance, spare-parts,
insurance... sometimes you will need to pay drivers too. And when the snowmobile
will be too worn to repair it, you will scrap it and buy a new one.
The balance of all these costs is often higher than the initial cost of the
snowmobile, so it is not true that a cheap snowmobile is necessarily a good
deal. And sometimes your work needs more than one snowmobile, so the costs
are doubled, tripled, etc. So make your reckoning, but based upon some real
facts on the new SHERPA,
when compared to a conventional snowmobile:
It can transport from 2 to 3 times material / persons - It can easily handle
track-makers that others can't move at all - It can make many different tasks,
without needing more machines for each specific task - The drive-belt will
last many hundred hours - It has a very low fuel consumption - It is extremely
solid and it will last at least twice as long as other snowmobiles - The maintenance
needed versus working-hours is very low - The spare-parts are worldwide readily
available. Rely on your common sense: work better and save money.

Snowmobiles, utility snowmobiles, work equipment, attachments and more. Did you know? When we think of a Sherpa we surely imagine a strong man carrying a big load on his back, climbing the sacred heights of the Himalayas step by step, side by side with famous mountaineers to conquer the top of those mysterious and impressive mountains. Utility snowmobiles, work snowmobiles, rescuing snowmobiles, safe snowmobiles and clean snowmobiles are our mission; discover it visiting our contact page or contacting us directly: you are welcome!
The world of vehicle-manufacturers, where "vehicle" means every kind of machine moved by an engine and able to run through land, water, air or snow, is divided in two different branches, depending by the philosophy that the designer adopts: Conformists and Innovators. Conformists bring an innovation only after others did it. They think they have just to offer at least the same value of their competitors, and there is no sense to spend more resources for innovation. Innovators are always looking for new and better solutions, sometimes swimming against the tide, but always looking for a new idea to satisfy the customers needs. Our feeling is to belong to this category, since we have a lot to tell about innovation. There are a lot of works that, until now, have been made with less success with traditional light-utility snowmobiles. Innovation means also to design a new machine especially for these works. And if someone promises you that he can do the same, we just tell you that we do it better.
