Solutions for Commercial and Municipal Vehicle Applications

We don't just deliver off-the-shelf components. We work closely with our customers to develop customized solutions - from individual valves to complete pneumatic control systems.

Manually operated valve with pneumatic reset

Manually operated valve with pneumatic reset

With their compact design, interchangeability, and customized manifold system, our BHP valves are ideal for bottom loading systems and PTO (power take-off) applications. They feature an additional pneumatic reset connection, which serves as a safety feature to ensure the refuelling valve closes properly after use. Additionally, various button colours are available.

Ready-to-use assembly group

Ready-to-use assembly group

This assembly comes ready-to-install, featuring 8 pneumatic valves mounted on a manifold plate complete with fittings and tubing. It operates within a temperature range of -20 °C to +65 °C and is ATEX-certified for zone 2, making it suitable for use in hydrogen environments.

Push-pull valve with pneumatic reset

Push-pull valve with pneumatic reset

Manually operated 3/2-way push-pull valve with an additional pneumatic reset port, entirely made from 316L / 1.4404 stainless steel. Due to its explosion proof design and extended temperature range, this push-pull valve can be used in hydrogen environments.

High-temperature solenoid valve

High-temperature solenoid valves

Valves used in sweepers or asphalting machines often need to withstand high temperatures. We offer 5/2-way solenoid valves rated to +80 °C with just 2W power consumption, and pneumatically actuated valves for up to +120 °C. All valves are designed for manifold assembly, with ports on the manifold plate for quick, easy replacement.

Ergonomic hand-lever valve

Ergonomic hand-lever valve

This 5/2-way hand-lever valve is modified for use in refuse collection vehicles to operate double-acting actuators. It features a nut for panel mounting, a rubber gaiter, and an ergonomic lever.

CANopen valve terminal

CANopen valve terminal

Our valve terminal series includes industrial Ethernet and fieldbus connections, such as CANopen. Due to its robust aluminum construction and high protection rating of IP55 it is particularly well-suited for commercial vehicle applications, such as port crash tender vehicles and domestic firefighting vehicles.

Actuator with air release function

Actuator with air release function

Customized pneumatic actuator designed for a fifth wheel coupling manufacturer. This actuator features an air release function and is specifically tailored for use with terminal tractors.

OR-valve with barbed fittings

OR-valve with barbed fittings

Customized OR-valve with integrated barbed fittings used in skip handler trucks. End-cap and fittings are made of stainless steel. Operating range from -50 °C to +50 °C.
