Meet the Rover: A Heavy-Duty, Autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) by Tek Tanks.
Engineered with the same legendary durability as our industry-leading tanks, the Rover features a revolutionary HDPE monocoque design. By fusing the chassis and body into a single, ultra-rugged shell, we have created an incredibly tough, watertight vehicle built to conquer the harshest environments. Thanks to our well tested tank hatch access system, the interior remains completely sealed against water and debris while still offering easy access for maintenance.
Whether you need a turnkey solution or a custom-built powerhouse, the Rover is ready to deploy. It is available as a fully configured system, or as a bare chassis ready for your own custom payload.
Engineered for Peak Performance
The Rover is packed with premium, industrial-grade hardware designed for maximum reliability and uptime:
- Unstoppable Drivetrain: A rugged skid-steer system powered by 4 independent Ampflow planetary gear electric motors (32:1) and dual 160-amp 4QD speed controllers.
- All-Day Mission Power: Equipped with a massive Victron 24V Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery system (110 Ah), complete with a professional Victron BMS and Battery Protect, delivering over 6 hours of continuous operation at a cruising speed of 1.5 m/s (3.35 mph).
- Tactical Surveillance & Comms: Full-spectrum situational awareness featuring an HD FPV camera & transmitter, a high-definition PTZ CCTV camera, a dedicated driving camera, an on-board NVR, and a high-speed 4G router for seamless remote monitoring.
- Precision Navigation: Driven by the advanced Cube Orange Plus flight controller and RTK GPS for centimetre-level accuracy, paired with a TBS Crossfire RC receiver and an RFD 868 MHz telemetry module for rock-solid long-range control.
- Workhorse Capability: Includes a blinding 4400 Lumens lighting system for night operations, 13” pneumatic tyres for all-terrain traction, and three 50mm tow balls to easily pull trailers or mount specialized equipment.

Advanced Autonomous Mission Planning
Take full control of your operations. The Rover integrates seamlessly with ArduPilot Mission Planner, allowing you to program complex, time-delayed multi-stage commands, or simply map out waypoints on the fly using a manual transmitter switch.
Custom-Built for Your Industry
Need something bigger or different? We are already designing a larger variant for heavier payloads, and we love a challenge. If the Rover doesn’t perfectly fit your application, the engineering team at Tek Tanks will happily collaborate with you to build a bespoke UGV tailored to your exact specifications.
