Pinzgauer at Tree Limin' Extreme

St. Thomas is known for its lush mountains, and here, at Tree Limin’ Extreme Canopy Tours, our first zip starts just below the summit of one of the highest mountains on St. Thomas. We like to call ourselves the “Ritz Carlton” of zip lines, so we want to get you up to the top in style. How do we do that, you ask? We have what’s known as a Pinzgauer! These heavy duty vehicles come equip with 6 wheel drive, a capacity of 2.5 tons, and a top speed of 62 miles per hour. 

Designed in Austria and manufactured in The United Kingdom since 1971, they are primarily military transport vehicles widely used in European armies. It is comparable to the U.S. Army Humvee, and although not as fast, it has a greater carrying capacity. It is still in use today by several nations including the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Austria, and several South American Nations.

All of our Pinzgauers were formally used by the Swiss Army and were built in the 1970’s. They were crafted with one goal in mind; to handle tough terrain. They have gotten a facelift since the 70’s, retrofitted seats and seat belts. Above, there are sturdy metal bars wrapped with a soft cushion that we suggest you hold onto with one hand on our voyage up the steep mountain! 

We have many guests who are awed by the Pinzgauer’s abilities to conquer the roads like no other. To schedule your ride today call (340) 777-9477 or visit our website at www.ziplinestthomas.com.
