Hydraulic Components & Solutions for Mobile Systems

Mobile applications rely on hydraulic systems for high-force actuation, controlled motion, and safe load handling in environments where space, weight, and durability are critical constraints. These systems power mobile equipment across construction, agriculture, forestry, mining, waste management, and transportation, often operating in rough terrain and environmental conditions.

What Common Challenges Do Hydraulics Solve in Mobile Applications?

Generating high force and torque in space-constrained applications
Reducing system weight to increase payload capacity and efficiency
Managing pressure spikes, vibration, and shock loads from mobile operation
Integrating components cleanly into compact, multifunctional equipment designs
Maintaining long service life in harsh outdoor conditions
Preventing fluid loss and environmental contamination in the event of failure
Protecting exposed components from impact, debris, and misalignment

What Are Real-Life Mobile Applications?

Waste management: Bin tipping and platform rotation using hydraulic rotary actuators
Forestry equipment: Grapple rotation and positioning using hydraulic rotary actuators
Construction equipment: Boost cylinder pressure for demolition tool attachments on excavators without adding large pumps using pressure intensifiers. Dampen vibration and protect from stress in cranes with compensators
Mining drill rigs: Drill rod positioning for blast hole creation in confined and rugged environments using hydraulic rotary actuators and cylinders
Agricultural machinery: Control flow and prevent backflow in tractors using check valves. Provide emergency flow isolation on horizontal grinders using butterfly valves. Maneuver various attachments such as spreaders, blades, and balers using rotary actuators.
Glass transportation systems: Lifting, positioning, and load holding in glass transportation and installation systems using lightweight carbon hybrid cylinders and rotary actuators
Mobile hydraulic tools: Generate high forces in compact power packs and tools using pressure intensifiers
