Manitou Regenerative Hydraulics
The Regenerative hydraulics uses a piloted valve to lower the boom using gravity and independently from engine rpm.
This function keeps the oil within the hydraulic cylinder.
Therefore, oil can be used to speed up other hydraulic movements
Customer challenge
Intensive loading & handling work often comes with machine high fuel consumption and noise.
For some applications, faster hydraulic movements are needed.
- Boom lowering can be done by gravity, whatever the engine rpm
- The unused hydraulic power can be used for other hydraulic movements.
