With an innovative, compact design, the Gusto DRS is easy to install, requires no structural reinforcing or extensive waterproofing, and functions in the harshest of Australian outback conditions.
This was a detailed electro-mechanical project, led by the Boost Design team, requiring extensive research and testing of pressure dynamics, fan specification, design, and optimisation. The result is a solution that surpasses all expectations and outperforms the competition. It can adequately pressurise a full-sized caravan in seconds, offering effective dust elimination and a seamless user experience.
The device is now available for order at gustoglobalindustries.com
Gusto has now sold over $1m worth of products and is currently working on its third.
