The majority of vehicles for material transport in the compony are fork-lift trucks with combustion engines. Systems for driving and working hydraulics are as varied as the lift trucks themselves. Efficient load sensing control systems for the lifting functions and the steering system are becoming increasingly popular in modern industrial lift trucks. These systems satisfy today’s more exacting requirements with regard to ergonomics and energy consumption, and are capable of achieving the greater levels of performance now required in modern logistics systems. The Rexroth hydrostatic drive is the superior drive technology for fast work and optimum driving comfort in the tough everyday life of the industrial lift truck.
Open centre working hydraulics
Open centre working hydraulics constitute a tough system that has been tried and tested over many years. Reliability, a simple construction and compact design are its principle advantages.
Hydrostatic drive with hydraulic control system
Hydrostatic drives are the ideal drives for a modern combustion-engined lift truck and ensure a high degree of efficiency. The stepless power transmission and automotive driving properties of the non-wearing hydrostatic drive with hydraulic control system cannot fail to convince.

Load sensing working hydraulics
Load sensing systems for working hydraulics naturally achieve the main development goals for modern lift-truck concepts – such as lowering the energy consumption whilst simultaneously increasing performance and improving user-friendliness.
The demand-oriented supply to the steering and tower hydraulics ensures that the energy required by the working hydraulics is consistently lowered. Since functions such as lifting and tilting can be operated in parallel, high performance levels are achieved. The load-independent actuating forces of the directional control valve functions ensure high-precision, fatigue-free working.
Hydrostatic drive with electronic lift-truck management
Accelerate rapidly, brake sharply, reverse, set off gently, slow down gradually. The beverage industry, a steelworks or the haulage business. The range of applications for these machines could scarcely be broader. But thanks to electronic lift-truck management, different driving characteristics can be selected for different operating conditions. This drive can also be distinguished by its low noise and consumption, achieved by incorporating the combustion engine in the lift-truck management system. Here, the constant speed drive and lift speed function are extremely impressive.
