With the increased focus on emissions reductions comes an increased need for electrified work functions that rely on batteries and motors for power instead of combustion engines. An electric power take-off or ePTO electrically powers auxiliary functions or equipment on vehicles that traditionally sourced power from the internal combustion engine.
Parker provides ePTO system solutions through the combination an electric motor, inverter, and if needed a hydraulic pump powered by a DC power source such as a battery. Parker can provide Modular ePTO Solutions that combine the electric motor-pump system with the necessary cabling, cooling and fluid conveyance required into a complete mechanical package that can be mounted behind the cab or on the frame rail. This allows the user to only run the hydraulic work of other auxiliary functions from the battery when needed, eliminating the need to idle an engine, if there is even an engine at all.
