Hydraulics
Central Hydraulics
Experience the ultimate in efficiency and performance with our central hydraulic systems. Harness the truck’s transmission to drive a Power Take-Off (PTO) and pump, generating robust hydraulic pressure to power any equipment on your truck. Perfect for snow and ice control, dump trucks, and other heavy-duty applications, our systems ensure seamless operation and unmatched reliability.
Key Components
- Hydraulic Pump: Converts mechanical energy from the truck’s engine into hydraulic energy. It’s powered via a Power Take-Off (PTO) unit connected to the truck’s transmission.
- Hydraulic Fluid: Transmits power throughout the hydraulic system, providing lubrication, cooling, and corrosion protection.
- Hydraulic Cylinder: Converts hydraulic energy into mechanical force to lift the dump bed. Typically, a telescopic cylinder is used for greater extension and lifting power.
- Hydraulic Tank (Reservoir): Stores hydraulic fluid and includes filters to keep the fluid clean.
- Control Valve: Directs the flow of hydraulic fluid to either raise or lower the dump bed.
- Hoses and Fittings: Transport hydraulic fluid between system components and must withstand high pressures and temperature variations.
Operation Process
- Engaging the PTO: The operator activates the PTO, transferring power from the engine to the hydraulic pump, which begins drawing hydraulic fluid from the reservoir.
- Pressurizing the Hydraulic Fluid: The hydraulic pump increases fluid pressure and directs it toward the control valve.
- Extending the Hydraulic Cylinder: Pressurized hydraulic fluid enters the cylinder, causing it to extend and push the dump bed upwards, allowing materials to be unloaded.
- Lowering the Dump Bed: Once unloading is complete, the operator reverses the control valve, redirecting hydraulic fluid to retract the cylinder and lower the dump bed smoothly.
Electric Over Hydraulic
Discover the ultimate solution for efficient power up and power down operations with our cutting-edge electric over hydraulic systems. Perfectly designed for dump bodies, these systems eliminate the need for bulky hydraulic reservoirs, offering streamlined performance and reliability.
- Efficient Power: Harness the power of a 12V motor, seamlessly integrated with your truck’s electrical system, ensuring consistent and dependable operation.
- Compact Design: Say goodbye to large hydraulic reservoirs. Our systems provide powerful performance in a compact, easy-to-install package.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for a wide range of industry applications, from construction and agriculture to transportation and industrial automation.
Engine Powered Hydraulics
Equip your vehicle with live hydraulics using Hydraulic Clutch Pump Kits. Designed for seamless integration, these kits provide hydraulic pressure anytime the engine is running, regardless of RPM or gear selection. Ideal for a wide array of applications, including hay bale beds, salt spreaders, snow plows, dump bodies, ground probes, airplane deicers, cranes, wreckers, rollbacks, hydraulic air compressors, tools, and more.
- Precise Fit & Simplified Installation: Kits are designed for easy installation and compatibility with most trucks.
- Durable Components: Long-lasting steel or cast iron pulleys ensure reliability and longevity.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for low-torque and high-torque applications
