RE; Sole source provider of All -electric compact Minidozer M-27 HS and its replacement parts
Dear Ms. Thompson,
This is to confirm that after conducting an in-depth market analysis, we hereby confirm that Movex
Innovation Inc. Is the only manufacturer located in North America that manufactures an all -electric
Minidozer that is specifically designed for operation in confined areas and low telling (as low as 23
inches in height) and that allows the remote control operation of the Minidozer up to 300 feet inside
a concrete tunnel or Box culvert with an emitter and receiver system.
The combination of Its rugged design and high resistance electronic and electric hardness (suited for
.1760F ambient temperature) with its high speed of 153 feet per minute and its bucket capacity of
0.25 cubic yards makes it an ideal environmental and operator -friendly Minidozer for the cleaning
operation of stormwater irrigation box culverts and tunnels,
The reason why Movex Innovation all -electric powered Minidozer M-27 was the first and only
developed in North America was the very high initial capital investment of $2 million and the 5 years
of R & D. Furthermore, it was initially developed for Aluminum Smelters Plant podine basement
cleaning operations as well as the Mining Industry for confined areas and under the conveyor belts
cleaning operations.
Over 40 units of the Minidozer M-48 and M-27 have been shipped to large Multinational and North
American Aluminum and Mining companies.
We trust that this is complete and remain at your disposal if any further information is required.
Truly yours,
Fabien Lavoie
