Main Control Solutions for Telehandlers

Control Options from top to bottom...

  • Piloted directional control valves provide cost-effective control of telescoping, lift, an sway functions.
  • Improved serviceability for steering and boom function

From brakes and steering to telescoping the boom and holding the load,
hydraulic cartridge valves work on every level in the telehandler market

 

  • Reach higher, lift faster, use less fuel, hold more load, turn sharper corners, fit in tighter work spaces, and meet stricter safety regulations.
  • Small compact cartridge valves for efficient responsive control

 

Load Moment Limitation

  • European safety standard EN 15000
  • Ensures stability by automatically reducing speed before unloading

 

 

Gravity Lowering…can augment or act as an efficient alternative to power down systems

  • Use the force of nature for load-lowering rather than engine power
  • Improve efficiency
  • Save fuel – up to one gallon of fuel per hour

 

 

Transmission Solutions for Telehandlers
  • Compact, cost effective and fuel efficient
  • Fast, reliable response, smooth
      operation
  • Contamination-resistant, IP69K-rated
      coils and corrosion resistant plating

Fan Drives


• Control valves provide variable fan speed control depending on air
  temperature,load and cooling requirements independent of engine RPM
     - Up to 30% HP vs traditional
• Checks protect the motor from cavitating
• Two-position valves can reverse fan direction to help remove dust and
  debris from radiator
• Precise control of coolant temperature and reduced engine wear

 

ERT 120 Sensor available

• Designed for use in demanding applications

Model                          Temp range                       Output signal
ERT120              -40 to 150 °C (-40 to 300 °F)            436 to 5428 Ω
ERT130              -40 to 135 °C (-40 to 275 °F)            46 to 18.5 kΩ
ERT150              -40 to 150 °C (-40 to 300 °F)            33 to 26 kΩ

Priority Steering and Brake Solutions for Telehandlers


• Provides priority flow for brakes / steering
• Store hydraulic energy for use upon
  demand
• Fail safe load shuttle

 

 

Simple Brake Circuit
Provides reduced pressure to power off the brakes

 

 

Alternative Brake Circuit
includes hand pump for emergency pumping of the brake

 

Dynamic Steering

• Serviceable 3 pos / 4 way valve replaces sub-plate valves
• Double-blocking valves eliminate leakage concerns

 Torque Divider

• Balances the pressure drop across each
  motor
• Efficiently sized to accommodate the flow
  difference between motors

IOT Fleet Management for Telehandlers

Implemented on telehandlers, HydraForce Internet of Things (IOT) technology improves reliability and availability and can even extend its lifetime. This is achieved by capturing and reporting operating data, such as main control, powertrain, variable speed fan drives, steering, brakes,electronic & hydraulic controls and others, as well as through enhanced control and improved asset utilization.


Many farms make substantial investments in agricultural machinery. IOT fleet management technology from HydraForce raises ROI by improving availability and reducing maintenance costs.


IOT Fleet Management Solutions  

  • Monitoring and logging of key operating characteristics (cycles, hours, temperatures, pressures, vibration, etc.)
  • Reporting of key performance indicators
  • Remote adjustment of on-board settings (maximum permitted speeds, loads, etc.)
  • Updating of onboard software
  • Geo-location
  • Reducing the risk of breakdown and preventing unnecessary maintenance
