seals and cylinder rods from premature failure, and extend the life of your equipment by preventing rod scoring and corrosion.”
Ongoing Innovation
While hydraulics will continue to be at the center of construction equipment design, Carlson noted, system innovation is ongoing. According to GlobalData’ s latest industry report, for example, the number of patents for hydraulic machinery for construction currently stands at over 21,600.
In the development pipeline, reflecting strong industry interest, are:
• Regeneration control hydraulics that adjust pump output for efficient machine movement based on load pressure
• Dual-mode work vehicles that switch between hydraulic and electric modes for more flexible and efficient operations
“ Construction machinery operates across incredibly varied and challenging environments around the world, so Seal Saver comes in a variety
