Enables smooth raising and lowering of the lifting cylinders as well as secure holding of the load. Optionally, the movement of the platform can also be precisely controlled.
Material handling
In the field of material handling, the demands placed on machinery in terms of performance, precision, durability, and cost-effectiveness are constantly increasing. For the development of valves, control blocks, and filter systems, this means continuously refining proven technologies and combining them with innovative features designed for demanding operating conditions. A thorough understanding of the specific application, as well as close collaboration with machine manufacturers, is crucial for implementing practical and future-proof solutions.

Reliable and precise steering
Proportional pilot control
Compact digital system solution for generating proportional hydraulic pilot signals with enhanced protective filtration for reliable and trouble-free operation.
Winch brake
Controls the winch brake and continuously monitors the position of the control piston to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Ballast control
Controls variable ballasting, monitors the overall weight position, and ensures safe operation even in extreme situations thanks to the locking function.
Outrigger
The position control system for the outriggers allows the crane to be stabilized precisely. Pressure-controlled outrigger cylinders ensure stability in all situations.
Rear-wheel steering
It controls the steerable rear axle in a proportional and responsive manner. This ensures reliable and precise steering performance across various steering modes.
Parking brake release
Enables fail-safe control of spring-applied parking brakes, responds instantly, and is self-resetting. After emergency activation, it automatically returns to the safe state.
Return Filtration & Oil Degassing
Ensures clean oil and reliable system protection; is available for installation in the tank; and reliably and efficiently vents the returning oil.
Safety Screens
Protect against primary contamination and large particles, and can be easily integrated into collection pipes, return lines, or flange connections.
Bypass filtration
Microfiltration of a partial flow directly from the pressure line improves the purity class and reduces wear on the main filters. This increases machine availability and operational reliability in a cost-effective manner.
Pressure supply
Controls the pressure supply to subsystems and integrates into the pump supply structure.
Oil condition monitoring
Ventilation
Mobile crane
Crane operators around the world rely on powerful and reliable hydraulic systems—and this is exactly where ARGO-HYTOS delivers the right solution. We develop intelligent components, sophisticated subsystems, and integrated system solutions specifically tailored to the requirements of mobile cranes.
From the precise control of winch brakes and rear-axle steering to exact counterweight and outrigger control and proportional controls—our systems ensure maximum safety, optimal load distribution, and easy handling. At the same time, filtration and oil condition monitoring systems ensure clean oil, high machine availability, and predictable, reliable maintenance intervals.
Furthermore, our solutions enable continuous monitoring of pressure and/or position, safe locking functions, and convenient operation through precise control of all hydraulic subsystems. In this way, our concepts enhance efficiency, operational safety, and availability on every construction site.
