What is the advantage of having a transaxle drive system?
The two major advantages are that it’s fully enclosed and that it’s a direct drive system, gear-to-gear. When a drive system isn’t totally enclosed, dust, dirt or other debris on the floor can get inside and cause a failure. A totally enclosed transaxle drive system is protected from these elements. Being totally enclosed with lubricant also keeps the drive system cooler and makes it quieter. Protection from debris and cooler operation mean a transaxle drive system can run longer without costly repairs or breakdowns. And because it’s a gear-to-gear design, a direct drive system generates a large amount of torque providing a heavy load carrying capacity. A totally enclosed transaxle also eliminates the use of chains and belts, which are noisy and can slip. The totally enclosed transaxle drive system found on EZ-International’s (EZI’s) products provides virtually maintenance free operation. It also allows greater weight carrying capacity and provides longer product life.
