dwDrive (Direct Wheel Drive)
Our powerful and efficient drive concept.
Normally, a Hoftrac is either driven by a hydrostatic drive with PTO gear, transfer box and axles, or a hydraulic and/or hydrostatic drive via oil motors on the axles.
With the new 1260LP, we have decided upon another drive concept. With Direct Wheel Drive, 4 wheel hub motors are installed directly on the wheels. This means that each wheel has its own motor drives the respective wheel directly. The wheel hub motors are driven directly by the travel hydraulic pump, eliminating mechanical losses. The wheel hub motors are also protected against pressure peaks by a high-pressure safeguard.
An anti-cavitation valve between the wheel hub motors also prevents the dry-running of external motors when cornering.
The Direct Wheel Drive provides the following benefits:
- Increase in efficiency through purely hydraulic drive
- Excellent acceleration and as a result, lively handling
- No loss in performance through axles or transmission
- Higher level of satisfaction compared with PTO gear and drive via axles
Other advantages:
- High pushing power through direct wheel drive
- Variable speed 0-20 km/h
- Combined braking and inch pedal
- Electric parking brake
- Maintenance-free hydraulic multi-disc brakes
- This type of drive is advantageous for machines with an operating weight of up to 3 t
