Giant Innovation
The Ratnik Sky Giant III Snow Gun uses the latest nucleation technology, setting
a new standard for all low energy guns. The Sky Giant 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.

Flanged Head Option

With the flanged head option, you can
    connect Ratnik air-water flanged snow
    gun heads to your Sky Giant III towers
    to maximize snow output in warmer
    temperatures.

All Ratnik flanged heads are easily
    interchangeable so you can quickly
    adjust your snowmaking operations
    to meet changing weather conditions.

Sky Giant 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 or flanged head.

Also available with Teflon-coated head.

We offer a full range of tower adapters to    make it easy to mount Ratnik tower guns
   onto your existing posts.
