At WPT, we never know what type of undertaking will be coming through the door next. Such was the case when a manufacturer of Portable Asphalt Milling machines presented us with a unique set of application challenges. Their primary markets are contractors, municipalities, and the Department of Transportation (DOTs) that need utility trenching and road maintenance equipment. Chief among their challenges was the need for a robust Hydraulic Power Take Off to handle pothole and asphalt patching, road resurfacing, and full-depth reclamation required for this application. By working with the manufacturer’s engineering group, our applications team calculated the extreme side load and duty cycle requirements needed. These milling machines are designed to operate in a compact package, and the PTO needs to deliver in this footprint while transmitting heavy-duty power and torque.
Our innovative and reliable PTO delivered unmatched side load advantages over our competitors. Enter the custom-made Type 2 PTO, W11-CG-206, which has an ultra-high side load and is hydraulically actuated. WPT Power introduced a product that satisfied the application as well as demonstrated a willingness and capability to provide customized or modified existing designs to meet the needs of OEMs.
If you’re an OEM anticipating a new design that requires a PTO style clutch, or if you’re looking to change or improve upon your existing design, please give the team at WPT. We are ready to work on solutions for your most challenging PTO applications. Give us a call today at (940) 761-1971, or email us at info@wptpower.com
