Chelsea

Since 1945, Chelsea has supplied auxiliary power solutions and is today part of Parker Hannifin. The brand is particularly known for power take-offs, also known as PTO (Power Take-Off), for the truck market and other commercial vehicles where hydraulic power has to be drawn from the vehicle's gearbox.

What is a Chelsea PTO typically used for?

A PTO is used when a vehicle needs to drive equipment beyond its own propulsion, e.g. hydraulic pumps for tipping, cranes, sweeping/suction equipment, lifts or other mounted equipment. This solution is often chosen because it provides a compact and robust power take-off with high operational reliability in mobile applications.

Product range and mounting

Parker Chelsea comprises a broad range of PTOs and pump installations across markets in North America, Asia and Europe. In practice, several standardised mounting patterns are available, including cast iron housings with 6-bolt and 8-bolt mounting, so the PTO can be adapted to the specific gearbox and the desired power output.

Key points when specifying

When identifying or selecting a PTO, the following information is typically essential:

Gearbox make and PTO aperture/mounting.
Required torque/power and duty cycle.
Output type, direction of rotation and gear ratio.
Pump type and available space in the installation.

Hymatik can help clarify the specification and ensure that the PTO and pump are correctly matched to the application.
