Giant Innovation
The Ratnik Sky Giant III+III Snow Gun uses the latest nucleation technology,
setting a new standard for all low energy guns. The Sky Giant II + III operates at warmer temperatures than any other low energy gun on the market. It also reduces energy costs because it uses no compressed air at ambient temperatures of 10°F (-12°C) or colder.


 


Sky Giant III + III Snow Gun,
Sled Mounted




Sky Giant III+III Benefits
  • Operates at warmer temperatures than
        any other low energy gun on the
        market.
  • Uses less compressed air with better
        air/water ratios (48 CFM).
  • Cross-wind tolerance is dramatically
        improved—directional throw is stronger
        and farther than all other models on the
        market.
  • New nucleation design is less sensitive
        to dirty water and compressed air.
  • Lightweight and easy to move.
  • User-friendly installation for tower, sled,
        automatic and line flooded systems.
  • Available with fixed heads.
  • Also available with Teflon-coated head.
