Airtrax designs and manufactures omni-directional vehicles which can travel in any direction by merely pushing a joystick in the direction the operator wants to travel. Airtrax omni-directional vehicles have very few parts, making them virtually maintenance-free.

The SIDEWINDER(TM) Omni-Directional Lift Truck and the Airtrax Phoenix(TM) aerial work platform are the first commercially produced omni-directional vehicles using the Airtrax wheel. The omni-directional wheel is manufactured by Timken Corporation under exclusive production rights to Airtrax.
