The Commander Series Shuttlewagon shares many of the same features as

the larger Navigator but comes in a smaller package. It is designed to complete
up to 35,000 lbs of tractive effort from one coupler. Compact yet powerful, the
Commander Series pulls as much weight as other manufacturers’ largest
models.
