Colorbiotics, a Sika company, introduced the new Sahara XP Mobile. This mulch coloring system draws from design features of the Sahara XP — literally taking it farther with its unique mobility.
“Our Sahara line has helped producers eliminate water waste and maximize color efficiency at the job site, but sometimes there’s more than one job site,” said Kent Rotert, vice president of Colorbiotics. “The XP Mobile gives them the ability to move with eight wheels and a generator.”
The machine is road-ready with a purpose-built trailer that meets oversize and wide load regulations. In addition to the on-board generator, the XP Mobile comes with three-phase plugs to make it easy to switch between shore and generator power.
“We’re redefining the term ‘remote work’ with this machine,” says Dave Roller, colorant systems manager at Colorbiotics. “All of a sudden, you don’t need to worry about power supply or hauling truckloads of mulch to your permanent location. The XP Mobile gives you flexibility with all the performance of the Sahara XP.”
The XP Mobile does not require a pilot car or special license plate for the road. With the touch of a couple of buttons, it unfolds for work. Once on location, the onboard generator provides 18 hours of runtime.
