Application Details

Flow Sharing Solutions for Forklifts

• Operate multiple work
  functions simultaneously
• Multi-function valves regulate
  flow while load holding
• Load holding with precise and
  stable flow control

Single-Acting Lift

• Typical application for a
  single-acting lift cylinder using
  HSPECxx-34 valves for the
  lowering function

Flow-sharing with higher flow cartridge valves can provide full system control for lifting, lowering and auxiliary functions.

The use of higher flow electroproportional valves is another easy way to gain greater control of multiple machine functions. With greater flow, you can develop a flow-sharing scheme with the flexibility to handle auxiliary and priority functions.

• Operate multiple work functions
  simultaneously
• Multi-function valves regulate flow while
  load holding
• Load holding with precise and stable
  flow control

 

 

Flow Sharing "Bridge" Circuits

• Provide superior motion control performance
• Flow-controlled meter-in with pressure controlled meter-out

More responsive and more flexibly packaged motor and cylinder control with pressure compensation and a superior degree of controllability than other directional control options can provide.

 

Electric Counterbalance


• SPCL valves for fast “closing” response
• Multi-function valve regulates flow while load holding

 

 

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

Attachments for Forklifts

Plug-in valve drivers provide flexible and self-contained control for material handling attachments.

• Clamps or arms for awkward loads such as
  crates, bales or tires
• Efficient solutions for a range of flow rates and
  operating pressures
• Easily integrated electronic control options
  available
