The new, disengageable F3 hydraulic truck pump series form Parker is a global innovation in mobile hydraulics, by enabling engaging and disengaging of the pump from the diesel engine on the fly. This new solution can save substantial amounts of fuel and reduces wear and tear on the pump and minimize the risk of costly downtime and standstills. At the same time it reduces noise levels and meets industry noise emissions. All that is required is to press a button on the dashboard, without turning off the engine. The F3 hydraulic pump is a very efficient and straight forward pump design with unsurpassed reliability. Its small envelope size gives a simple and inexpensive installation.
Save on fuel!
For the average truck running 100,000 kilometres a year (62000 miles), savings can amount to between 200 and 300 litres (45 – 65 gallons) less diesel, with a corresponding reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases and particulates, all due to the F3 pump being completely disconnectable when not in use. This is a unique, patented characteristic now being launched by Parker.
Enhanced reliabaility!
When a pump is fitted to an engine PTO, even small mishaps like a ruptured hose can result in having to be recovered and towed to a workshop, with all its downsides by way of major outlay and high downtime costs. With the new F3 pump, you just disconnect the pump and make your way home under your own steam!
Cuts noise levels!
Compared to a conventional hydraulic pump in the unloaded position, the new F3 pump generates considerably lower noise levels in disconnected mode – this makes matching future noise emissions regulations easier.
