DETAIL

Split Shaft PTO is designed to take power from main drive train (prop shafts) of the truck and transfer it to auxiliary side outlets. Truck body builders then use these side outlets to run a variety of equipment i.e. high pressure pumps, vacuum pumps and/or hydraulic pumps.

Mounting/Installation
Split Shaft Gearboxes are installed inline on the trucks main drive train (prop shafts) that transfer power from the transmission (gearbox) to the trucks rear differentials.
This main drive train (prop shafts) is made up of 2 pcs.
•    The first part is connected from the trucks transmission (gearbox) to Split Shaft PTO’s inlet (front flange).
•    The second part is connected from Split Shaft PTO’s outlet (back flange) to the trucks rear differential.

Operation
Driving Mode
When the truck is moving (driving), the Split Shaft PTO engages both prop shafts.
•    These prop shafts are locked in position via gears inside the Split Shaft PTO.
•    This allows power from trucks transmission (gearbox) to pass through Split Shaft PTO and reach the trucks rear differential, which in turn allows the rear wheels to propel and thus allows the truck move.

Working Mode
The truck arrives at the designated work area and comes to a stationary position:
•    The driver flips a switch which is installed in the truck’s cab and pneumatically disengages the prop shaft connected from Split Shaft PTO’s outlet (back flange) to the trucks rear differential.
•    In this position the trucks engine runs and transfers power from trucks transmission (gearbox) to the Split Shaft PTO’s inlet (front flange).
•    In this mode there is no transfer of power to the rear wheels.
•    The operator now has an option of selecting a second and/or third switch, this will pneumatically engage the auxiliary side outlets on Split Shaft PTO, allowing the operator to use the desired pump connected to these outlets.
•    When the task is completed, the operator flips these switches to an off position and all outlets are disengaged.
•    The driver flips a switch which is installed in the truck’s cab and pneumatically engages the prop shaft connected from the Split Shaft PTO’s outlet (back flange) to the trucks rear differential, thus allowing power back to the trucks rear differential allowing the rear wheels to propel and the truck can move again.
