The integration of hydraulic systems and electronic engine systems with software enables features that simplify attachment operation and reduce operator fatigue for skid steers. Electrohydraulic (EH) controls were introduced on skid-steer and compact track loaders almost 15 years ago and have become popular on mid to large skid steer models over the past five years. Whether it is a manual or EH actuation, mono block control valves are known to have many outstanding features including high performance, high efficiency, small volume, mass flow and leak proof.

Parker’s mono block, open center construction valve is cost effectively designed for skid steer loader applications with efficiency and simplicity in mind. The mono block design saves machine space while providing a low pressure drop through the valve. This custom valve design offers a system of checks and drain paths keep boom drift to a minimum while retaining boom and bucket priority. Our customized hydraulic mono block valves are typically produced in three spool configurations with multiple construction options available, including:
