PRINOTH - Two brand new snow groomers

Automotive projects, Sports, leisure & toys

PRINOTH announces the next generation of its best-selling snow groomers, the LEITWOLF and the BISON. With a completely new operating system, clean Stage V engines and a fresh look, the snow groomers continue the legacy of their predecessors as the most powerful and efficient snow groomers on the market.

Developed in response to operator feedback, the PRINOTH Control Unit optimizes the operator experience through increased comfort and ease of control. The further development of the joystick promotes intuitive use and user-friendliness. A joystick-in-joystick function is integrated, with which the blade can be operated using the thumb, enabling simultaneous movement of all blade functions.

The 12-inch touchscreen display provides quick access to the most important functions. With a single touch of a button, operators can switch between options - whether adjusting the lights, using the reversing camera or checking the tiller setting, the new display is a hit.

"According to the feedback we have received so far, customers are delighted with the new models. BISON drivers have praised its enormous power and maneuverability. The positive reactions to the LEITWOLF confirm the enormous power of the engine and its outstanding efficiency," says Horst Haller, CEO of the snow groomer division at PRINOTH. "We are very pleased with this positive feedback. It's great to be at the forefront when it comes to helping ski resorts not only groom perfect slopes and build exciting parks, but also work in an efficient and environmentally friendly way."

In addition to the PRINOTH machine features already appreciated in the industry, such as the widest range of tracks, the unique tiller designs and the automatic winch, the new snow groomers also set new standards on the market with their brand new look.

"With the new Nightshade Grey color and a redesign of the bodywork, the new, unmistakable look also reflects on the outside what we have created on the inside," says Andreas Muigg, Product Manager for snow groomers.

We are proud that we were once again able to support Prinoth with the graphic and structural design of the new software interface, as we did with the previous generation!

„We discovered BUSSE Design+Engineering through online research. Contacting them for a functional model led to a contract for a technical redesign. Due to our concept changes, Redesign II was initiated and realized in a prototype, earning a golden award at the 2019 Ambiente trade fair. BUSSE executed the project with precision, on schedule, and with excellent craftsmanship. We look forward to future collaboration with BUSSE."
