Hydromobile carries cab controls

Third Quarter 2007 Hydraulic systems & components

Hydromobile has become one of the market leaders in hydraulic component supply to the vehicle manufacturing industry.

The company's control valves can be found on many of the side tippers and waste trucks seen on the roads every day. These valves are pneumatically controlled from inside the vehicle's cab. They have 1/2 inch ports and can handle a flow of up to 80 lpm and a maximum pressure of 340 bar.

Hydromobile supplies many of the reservoir accessories that are used on such vehicles as side tippers, waste trucks and auger bulkers. These accessories level indicators (with or without temperature indication), suction strainers, filters and filler breathers.

The company represents two different hydraulic motor companies. These motors are used in conjunction with control valves and flow control valves on the auger bulkers.

Sister business, Hydrocylinder, manufactures cylinders for many of the vehicle manufacturing companies from pre-machined cylinder components, which are imported from Italy. This makes for rapid turnaround times.

Since the company's inception in 1991, Hydromobile has been importing 12 and 24 volt mini power packs. As the innovators of this product in the South African market, it has gained wide experience with regards to the application of these power packs in scissor tables, dock levellers, tail-lifts, and small tipper trucks.

Hydromobile products can be found outside the vehicle industry in agriculture, earth moving, construction and mining. The company undertakes many turnkey projects, encompassing the design, manufacture and installation of complete systems, for mining consultants.

How to protect against water hammer
SA Gauge Editor's Choice Hydraulic systems & components
Water hammer is a high-pressure surge or wave created by the kinetic energy of moving fluid when it is rapidly forced to stop or change direction, altering the liquid’s velocity. The progression of the water hammer shockwave needs to be detained and slowed before reaching the instrument sensor. SA Gauge manufactures several such devices in order to achieve this.
