Precision-engineered drivetrain system
The Gator™ HPX Utility Vehicle has a precision-engineered drivetrain system to better utilize engine power and to improve acceleration, hauling, towing, and hill-climbing capabilities. Power is transmitted from the engine through a continuously variable clutch system to the transaxle.
Key elements of the drive system include:
Variable-speed drive
The variable-speed drive consists of two clutches and a drive belt:
How variable-speed drive works:
Shift lever
Transaxle and MFWD
Electronic rocker switch for 4WD and rear differential lock
Operator's station with 457-mm (18-in.) high-back bucket seats
Updated display
Bench seat
Center console with 12-V direct current (VDC) power port
The Gator™ HPX is equipped with many standard features that provide for comfortable and convenient operation:
Heavy-duty rear suspension
The Gator™ HPX is equipped with heavy-duty, coil-over shock, semi-independent rear suspension with 89 mm (3.5 in.) of suspension travel. This provides a comfortable ride with the cargo box unloaded while also minimizing suspension sag when the cargo box is loaded.
Independent front suspension
The Gator HPX is equipped with a MacPherson strut, independent front suspension, providing a comfortable ride and excellent work capability. The heavy-duty, ductile cast-iron, single A-arm provides 131 mm (5.15 in.) of suspension travel for excellent handling and ride quality.
Standard OPS with nets
HPX815E with cab frame and nets
The Gator™ HPX is configured from the factory with OPS and standard occupant side retention (OSR) nets or deluxe cab frame.
Nets are standard equipment on the Gator HPX. Features of the nets include:
Deluxe cargo box
The deluxe cargo box consists of a 15 percent glass-filled polypropylene composite material that eliminates rust and dents and reduces noise.
Tailgate handle
Tailgate lowered to 150 degrees
The tailgate can be opened or removed for easier cleanout and to carry longer items. The tailgate has been improved, features truck-like performance, and can be operated with one hand.
The standard-installed lanyards can also be removed to lower the tailgate 150 degrees for convenient loading and unloading tasks.
Integrated handle for manual cargo box tilt
The deluxe cargo box is easier to latch, unlatch, raise, and lower with the integrated handle design and gas assist. A prop rod is provided to hold the box in the upright position for operator convenience, as well as limit box pivot travel.
Integrated tie-down point in cargo-box bed
Additional tie-down points (TH 6X4 shown)
The deluxe cargo box offers integrated tie-down points for increased versatility. Tie-down points are located in the following areas:
Convert the cargo box to a flat bed
Haul larger cargo on the flat bed
The deluxe cargo box easily converts to a flat bed. The flatbed configuration allows operators to load larger cargo.
