Medina, MN (7/9/2014) - Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII), has
engineered a Polaris RANGER CREW Diesel side-by-side utility vehicle with
an integrated multi-power system, a first for vehicles in this category. A
flip of a switch allows operators to power hydraulic, pneumatic, electric
and welding equipment directly from the vehicle’s diesel engine through the
integrated HIPPO Multipower System from the Mobile Hydraulic Equipment
Company.

The Polaris RANGER with HIPPO MPS represents a continued expansion into
non-traditional markets for Polaris to serve its increasing base of work
customers. Operators in the rail, municipal, construction, oil and gas,
rental, utilities and mining industries as well as the military already
consider the proven HIPPO MPS indispensable and this all-in-one solution
increases their flexibility and mobility even more. This is the first time
a Polaris vehicle’s engine has been engineered to power a robust
multi-power system like the HIPPO.

“The versatility provided by integrating the HIPPO MPS with the Polaris
RANGER is extremely valuable for transporting personnel, heavy duty tools
and a four-in-one power source to hard-to-reach job sites,” said Dave
Longren, vice president of Polaris’ Off-Road Vehicles division. “When
getting on-site means going off-road, our customers trust us to get them
there. They also trust in the capability of HIPPO power equipment and
combining the two meets a vital need for our customers”
A properly maintained vehicle will simply need to be fueled up and it is
ready to go since all the equipment is powered from the RANGER’s 24
horsepower diesel engine. This feature greatly reduces the maintenance time
associated with four separate systems. The integrated HIPPO 1041CP
Multipower System has one hydraulic tool circuit, two quick disconnect
pneumatic fittings, two 120 volt electric outlets at 20 amps and one
welding console with quick disconnects.
