Material Handling
Safe transport solutions
Mobile cranes, Rough-Terrain cranes, forklift trucks and other machines used in material handling are equipped with hydraulic pilot valves and systems from Thomas. On the one hand, the requirements on the hydraulic pilot control's performance are high. On the other hand, the defined operating range implies an increased level of safety (SIL, Safety Integral Level) and precision. The valves and systems for hydraulic pilot control made by Thomas meet these requirements.
In addition, Thomas offers compact solutions, such as the innovative Integrated Pilot Head valve, and thus the possibility of equipping even small and very small machines with precise and powerful hydraulic pilot control.
