Hydraulic
drives are ideal fittings used for precise torque control and adjustable
speed. The standard hydraulic drive systems contain hollow shaft design
allowing simple installation, operation and maintenance. A hydraulic drive system consists of a hydraulic pump attached to the engine and a hydraulic motor connected to the propeller shaft.
The motor is connected to the pump by hydraulic hoses. The hydraulic drive system offers the advantages of simplicity, improved control, economic costs and low maintenance. The engine in the system is not connected directly to the propeller shaft that helps eliminate the shaft-alignment problems common with inboard engines mounted in flexible hulls.
The hydraulic drive system works as an alternative to the mechanical drive system. The hydraulic drive system is a powerful and simple. It includes a hydraulic pump combined with low speed-high torque drive motor that powers the bed chains. The speed of the bed chains is matched to the truck ground speed by a simple electronic controller. The hydraulic drive system has the power to load extremely heavy cotton modules in adverse conditions.
