A drive towards competitive advantage.

Hydraulic motors have been used to drive all kinds of plant and machines for many years. The excellent controllability, flexibility and user friendly nature in use along with the unbeatable power to weight ratio were and still are strong, attractive reasons for using fluid power.

Hagglunds Drives, manufacturer of hydraulic motors, took this concept and developed it over the years and now offer a very wide range of direct hydraulic drive systems which can completely eliminate the need of large gearboxes on low speed plant and so apply the great advantages of hydraulics, along with simplicity, to a comprehensive range of applications such as bulk materials handling plant like conveyors and feeders, bucket wheel reclaimers and ship unloaders, process plant like mills, drums and mixers, heavy duty car and tyre shredders and marine applications like winches, mud pumps and drilling equipment.

They have also been applied to assist existing gearbox arrangements to add more power, relieve loads on the existing setup improving the life expectancy and improve output and productivity.
