Resilient Linear Solutions for Specialty Vehicles in Extreme Conditions
Do you need resilience, adaptability and precision under the most extreme conditions? Our linear technology for specialty vehicles thrives in harsh environments, giving you the freedom to go further. We can provide individual solutions according to your need and application.
Specialty vehicles test our linear drives beyond limits where others fail. When controlling fertiliser spreaders and grain tanks in agriculture they battle with dust, heat and uneven ground. When adjusting antennas and hatches on yachts, they have to withstand saltwater exposure and high winds. When operating electric wheelchair ramps in specialty vehicles they must guarantee safe and smooth movements.
We use our knowledge and passion to overcome the challenges of unique applications in commercial vehicles working under extreme conditions so that our customers can get used to expecting more from their products.

Agritech Resilience: Ultra-Durable Actuator Solutions for Farming Applications
Project Overview
Designed for the agritech market in Switzerland, this project addresses the unique challenges of modern farming vehicles. The application focuses on two critical areas:
Trailer Hatch for Harvester Collection Tractors: A single drive actuator controls the opening and closing of the hatch, ensuring efficient filling and emptying of crop cuttings.
Harvester Cabin Ladder Position Adjustment: A second actuator adjusts the cabin ladder for improved ease of entry.
Both functions are powered by our robust LD1000E.
Key Requirements and Project Highlights
Extreme Durability: Achieving the highest IP rating to withstand continuous exposure to extreme outdoor elements, powerful waterjets, and the harsh chemicals used in vehicle maintenance.
Detailed Technical Support: Fast, comprehensive technical information on installation angles and wiring, providing the confidence of a robust, ultra-durable actuator solution.
The customer appreciated our prompt support and the reliable performance of our products, ensuring peace of mind and enhanced operational efficiency.
Specialised Actuator Solutions for Traffic Hazard Signal Vehicles
Project Overview
Designed for the special vehicles market in Switzerland, this project addresses the need to control a heavy traffic hazard warning light board on a mobile highway signal vehicle trailer.
The application involves a single drive actuator with end position feedback to extend the light board when the vehicle is stationary, and retract it when the hazard is clear, ensuring safe operation. Our LD1000E unit was selected to meet this requirement.
Key Project Highlights:
Application: Raising and lowering the traffic hazard warning light on a mobile highway signal vehicle trailer.
Requirement: A single drive actuator providing precise end position feedback - fully extending the light board to support its weight when stationary, and retracting it for safe mobility when hazards are cleared.
Robustness: Highest IP rating required to ensure protection against extreme conditions, including snowy environments.
Ease of Integration: Simple installation with end position feedback and a 12V DC drive, enabling seamless integration with a mobile power supply.
Customer Appreciation: Fast, detailed responses and a variety of options and data helped the customer make the optimal selection.
This comprehensive solution delivers reliability and performance even under the harshest conditions, ensuring your vehicle operates safely and efficiently year-round.
