With an excellent weight to power ratio up to 500 kW, Hägglunds drives are used across the world in some of the toughest industrial applications, from marine to mining and construction.

Hägglunds direct drive units offer an optimum solution for all your drive requirements. These gearbox-free hydraulic drive systems provide an excellent weight-to-power ratio up to 500 kW, ideal for diverse industrial applications from marine to mining.

Featuring a robust hydraulic motor directly mounted to the shaft, they eliminate complex components for maximum uptime and easy commissioning. Featuring a modular design with integrated pumps and controls, along with the Hägglunds Spider monitoring system, these drives provide full torque at low speeds. This is crucial for applications with high starting loads and for continuous operation across a wide speed range.

This ensures reliable, high-performance hydraulic power transmission for demanding sectors such as mining, materials handling, recycling, waste handling, pulp and paper mills, rubber manufacturing, sugar processing, marine, offshore, and the chemical industry.

Benefits:

  • Compact design: requires minimal space for installation
  • Sealed-off hydraulic compartments: ensures enhanced durability & protection to maximise uptime & reliability
  • Configurable: adaptable to diverse applications & customer demands
  • Advanced Hägglunds control system: delivers superior performance with precise control & safety
  • Lower total cost of ownership: achieved through the system's efficiency & robust design
