Poclain Expands Compact Track Loader Offering with New MT10 Motor
At the heart of the MT hydraulic motor is a patented duo cone seal setup. Its unique design enables the motor to operate maintenance-free inside the track’s highly aggressive environment, while competitor technologies mandate stringent servicing to stay in working condition. Another purpose-built feature of the MT motor is its continuous internal flushing, which regulates its internal temperature. CTLs, with their compact architecture, tend to induce hydrostatic transmission overheating, which results in running in derated mode. With the MT Track Drive motor, the transmission temperature stays under control and the machine runs consistently at peak performance, without resorting to the derated mode.
Since its development in 2020, the MT hydraulic motor has gone through rigorous bench and field testing, testifying that it is fit for the CTLs’ demanding environment.
With a displacement of 85 cu. in. per rev (1,400 cc), the MT10 motor targets the largest CTL models weighing over 10,000 lbs (4,535 kgs). It completes Poclain’s CTL motor lineup, which now includes three sizes.
MT02 | MT07 | MT10 |
24 cu. in./rev (398 cc) | 56 cu. in./rev (920 cc) | 85 cu. in./rev (1,400 cc) |
The MT07 motor is available in series production, while sizes 02 and 10 are available for customer prototyping.
Key features of the MT series include:
- Outstanding power density with the Poclain High Performance motor configuration
- 1.5 speed ratio that matches work and travel speed requirements
- High bearing capacity
- Perfectly balanced design, with track and chassis mounts positioned close to the centre of gravity
- Compact envelope
- Equal performance in forward and reverse
- High-capacity brake, capable of withstanding 100 dynamic brake applications
- One single part number for left and right setups
- Choice of axial or radial ports
With the MT series, OEMs can provide compact track loaders that stand out in the market, offering contractors and operators a high-performance, maintenance-free, and reliable ground drive solution.
