Poclain Hydraulics provides a complete hydrostatic solution for mini-loaders that is well-known in the market. The solution offers outstanding traction control and reliability for articulated and one-piece-chassis mini loaders. OEMs get greater machine design flexibility with features such as narrow dimensions, increased stability and machine maneuverability. Our power transmission optimizes machine capacity and efficiency. Delivering even at your machine’s most demanding use, our complete hydraulic solution maximizes output in any working condition: farming, construction and demolition, landscaping, garden and home maintenance.

Poclain Hydraulics’ core offer for your mini-loaders

Our core hydrostatic solution is maintenance-free and delivers multiple advantages compared to axle machines for your multi-functional mini-loaders:

  • Precise maneuverability 
    Poclain Hydraulics direct drive radial piston motors easily maneuver your machine regardless of weather or terrain, such as mud, sand and snow. MG motors improve productivity and ability to make U-turns with fewer movements, beneficial in construction or landscape work in tight spaces. They also enable front-wheel or crab steering with an easy-to-integrate, flexible, compact design. Our four-wheel-drive propel solution ensures minimal surface disruption. Serial circuits deliver an anti-skidding effect, alternating front and rear 4-wheel drive to restore traction. Poclain Hydraulics PM pumps, with automotive or hydraulic control, delivers flow to the circuit, and a VB parking brake valve is an available option.
  • Machine stability & security
    The wheel motors enable designers to deliver a lower machine center of gravity, increasing security and operator safety. MS and MG motors both free up design space, and the MG motors include a steering pivot for one-piece chassis architecture and less part management.
  • Optimized capacity
    Direct drive four-wheel transmissions are lighter than an axle, increasing machine payload capacity when compared to a similar weight class. Mini-loader OEMs gain compactness and efficiency.

Direct drive MS and MG motors meet your specific needs

Poclain Hydraulics direct drive cam lobe motors meet your four-wheel drive mini loaders needs with 300 modular combinations, compact envelopes, high efficiency and a backlash-free design. No gearbox means no mechanical loss in the gears. Cam-lobe technology assures heavy duty, precise movement and constant speed.  Motors are available with single or dual displacements. Various wheel flange bearing supports are available for different rim sizes with or without parking brake.

For an articulated machine, we propose four MS motors.
For a one-piece chassis mini loader, we propose four steerable MG motors. The integrated C-frame with hydraulic pivot offers an enhanced steering angle, to increase machine stability and avoid twisting high-pressure pipes. By combining components (bearing support, brake and c-frame), MG motors reduce potential failure points and external brake stress, while reducing tire wear and fuel consumption.

PM hydraulic pump

The Poclain Hydraulics PM pump range completes the mini-loader package. With a wide range of displacements, the PM pumps’ reinforced structure increases robustness and reliability for high performance and 420 bar peak pressure. The PM pump delivers a complete range of controls with or without feedback. Its compact dimensions, modular design and interchangeable options simplify machine integration.
