Kessler + Co
Kessler axles, gearboxes and wheel drives
for vehicles in heavy duty applications
AXELS
Kessler + Co designs and produces planetary steer drive axles with a capacity of 8 – 80 metric tons.
Our axles are characterized by a superior reliability based on product knowledge proven through many years of field experience as well as by an elaborated lightweight design. Our modular design allows us to find individual solutions by using high volume components manufactured in highly efficient production plants.
Kessler steer drive axles are available with different drive head, differential and brake options.
Kessler + Co designs and produces planetary drive axles with a capacity of 8 – 200 metric tons.
Our axles are characterized by a superior reliability based on product knowledge proven through many years of field experience. Our modular design allows us to find individual solutions by using high volume components manufactured in highly efficient production plants.
The Kessler drive axles are available with different differential, brake and wheel end options.
Our steer drive and drive axles are also available with trunnion and cradle mounts, especially for material handlers, RT-cranes and mining vehicles.
In addition, we offer oscillation axles with modular axle housings especially used in modular transporters and harbour mobile cranes.
Kessler + Co designs and produces tandem- and tridem-axles with tandem axle loads of 40 – 80 metric tons. Our axles are characterized by a superior reliability based on product knowledge proven through many years of field experience as well as an elaborated lightweight design. Our modular design allows us to find individual solutions by using high volume components manufactured in highly efficient production plants.
Kessler + Co designs and produces drive components for solutions with independent wheel suspension especially for mobile cranes and airport crash tenders. Our axles are characterized by a superior reliability based on product knowledge proven through many years of field experience as well as an elaborated lightweight design. Our modular design allows us to find individual solutions by using high volume components manufactured in highly efficient production plants.
We offer customized solutions for applications with special requirements, such as limited installation space or severe operating conditions. For these applications, we utilize high volume components from a building block system and mate these to customized housings manufactured in our modern welding shop.GEARBOXES
With the LS610 Kessler + Co offers a solution of two-speed transmission for hydrostatic drive. The maximum transmittable power is 130 kW and the maximum hydraulic motor size is 160 ccm. These transmissions are used in many different applications and vehicle types, such as compact mobile cranes, material handlers and harvesters.
Furthermore the LS2000, a power shift transmission for an electric drive Train, was developed. The transmission provedes two gears with a spread of 2,5 and maximal input turning speed of 6000 rpm. The power shift clutches are designed to synchronize electric motors with a high moment of inertia. Optionally, the gearbox is available with a control unit which performs the switching functions on request on request of the vehicle control via CAN bus.
Kessler + Co has many years of experience in the design of special vehicle gearboxes. One among many different solutions are summation gearboxes for a drive line with a total power of 1000 kW. Other options include gearboxes that interface to hydraulic and electric drives.
Especially in mining application our up- and dropbox gearboxes are used.
Kessler + Co designs and produces transfer cases for a total power of up to 1000 HP.
These transfer cases are used in many different applications and vehicle types, such as all-terrain-mobile cranes, heavy duty trucks, airport crash tenders and tow tractors.
Our transfer cases are characterized by superior reliability based on product knowledge proven through many years of field experience.
Kessler transfer cases are available in single- and two-speed versions and allow for different inter- axle options.
With the U1200, U1700 and U3000 Kessler + Co offers three sizes of Upbox units for direct mounting on combustion engines.
These are characterized by a superior reliability based on product knowledge proven through many years of field experience.Wheel drives
Kessler + Co designs and produces wheel drives with a capacity of 5 – 50 metric tons.
The wheel drives are characterized by superior reliability based on product knowledge proven through many years of experience. Kessler wheel drives are used in many different applications and vehicle types, including all-terrain-mobile cranes, straddle carriers and forklift trucks.
Kessler wheel drives are available with several brake options, as well as with an interface to various driveline solutions (mechanical, hydrostatic and electric).
