Over the past several years, WPT has become a major supplier to the utility vehicle market, with a strong focus on rotational motion solutions. At the forefront of this offering is our Rotational Gearbox, engineered explicitly for utility lift applications. These lifts include bucket trucks utilized by utility service providers and basket trucks employed by sign installation companies. Additional applications include truck-mounted cranes, boom saws, and derrick diggers.
The primary function of the Rotational Gearbox is to provide the transfer of power between a hydraulic motor and a slewing gear. When power is applied from the motor, a worm gear in the gearbox is engaged. As the worm gear meshes with the slewing gear, the main boom or chute begins to either rotate or pivot, depending on the setup and application. In the case of a bucket or basket lift, this action provides the technician with the ability to access 360 degrees of their work environment.
If you are an OEM that manufactures rotating boom equipment, please contact WPT today. We can conduct a comprehensive application review and specify a tailor-made rotational gearbox for your specific application. We have the ability to provide sample boxes for testing to ensure that your custom gearbox meets, and in most cases, exceeds your operating requirements.
