Electric Drives from Sauer-Danfoss: Flexible and Cost-effective Solutions that Last

Meeting Customer Demands Head On

Tough demands are part of everyday life

for manufacturers of battery-powered

forklift trucks. Today’s customers expect

low prices, a high level of operator com-

fort, and ready availability of a wide

range of high-quality products, includ-

ing electrically controlled proportional

valves, sophisticated steering solutions,

and hydrostatic transmissions. In addi-

tion, a growing number of customers now

demand AC instead of DC technology.

Sauer-Danfoss’s products and systems

match the current needs of the forklift

truck industry. Our portfolio includes

high-quality proportional valves, electric

traction systems based on AC or DC tech-

nology, hydrostatic transmissions, a com-

plete range of work function solutions as

well as hydrostatic, electro-hydraulic, and

electric steering systems. We cover the

whole range and enable you to meet cus-

tomer demands head on.

It takes more than a collection of

best-in-class components to design and

build a vehicle that delivers results for your

customer. It takes innovation and a

comprehensive approach to machine

development. Sauer-Danfoss will work

with you from concept, through machine

design and prototyping, to production and

after-sales support.

We bring your vision to market faster.

Getting the Job Done

Sauer-Danfoss provides a full line of

DC motors and AC induction motors

will allow your customers to get the job

done, day in and day out.

ity to easily add one functionality after

another to develop your own machine

control network. Allowing for custom

configuration and precise tuning of work

and propel functions, it puts the power to

customize electronic machine control in
