Raven Smart Steer™ Raven Introduces SmartSteer™ Assisted Steering!

Sioux Falls, SD - Raven is excited to release shipments of the SmartSteer™ assisted steering system. SmartSteer™ takes the stress out of driving and makes it quick and painless for you to improve your operating efficiency and performance. Pair the SmartSteer™ with Raven’s Cruizer™ guidance system for a very affordable, quick-to-install steering system uniquely designed to keep you on line and simplify driving. Optional vehicle transfer kits make moving SmartSteer™ from cab to cab a breeze— and the steering wheel doesn’t even have to be removed.

The direct gear drive found in SmartSteer is vastly superior to the friction wheel designs found on other assisted steering systems, completely eliminating unwanted slippage for improved accuracy and reliability— and it won’t pinch your fingers. SmartSteer is even kind to your ears as one of the quietest assisted steering products on the market.

SmartSteer Features:

Quick to install and highly portable
Direct mechanical gear drive
Simple steering disengagement
Convenient foot-pedal steering engagement
Best-in-class line acquisition
Automated system calibration
Four steering patterns
Compatible with Cruizer, Envizio Pro, and Viper Pro

Testimonial:

"I’m EXTREMELY HAPPY with the way SmartSteer works, especially the way it is working for a mechanical autosteer product. It steers GREAT!" - Scott Ayres, Muncie, IN
