Hägglunds Drives is a global market leader in hydraulic drive systems intended for low speed and high torque applications.
Hydraulic drive systems are used in a wide range of industries, for example in mining, recycling, pulp and paper, rubber and plastics, offshore, fishing, building and construction.
Our drive systems contain a hydraulic motor, power unit and a control system.
HYDRAULIC DRIVES FOR OFFSHORE APPLICATIONS
Hägglunds hydraulic drive systems are engineered to perform under severe conditions and to provide reliable power to vital
marine applications above or below water around the world.
Robust design, precise control and reliability are key considerations. Our compact hydraulic motors are used on research ships, large crane vessels, pipe/laying and oil exploration vessels, as well as on jack-up rigs and semi-submersible applications.
Our reliable hydraulic drives provide simple, highly efficient direct drives which often completely eliminate gearboxes so saving valuable space. In addition we supply power units, controls, piping and expert technical support and services. The Viking motor provides the best tension control available for winches.
