SHANGHAI, Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana
Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) today announced the introduction of
comprehensive drive systems specifically tailored for
electric-driven mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) manufactured
in China. The solutions extend Dana's wide range of drive and
motion systems that can be sourced locally through a single Tier I
supplier.
At Bauma China this week, Dana is launching an integrated system
for electric-driven boom and scissor lifts with working heights
above six meters. It improves safety, productivity,
efficiency, operator comfort, and reliability while reducing total
cost of ownership as well as the impact on the environment.
The complete package from Dana features Spicer Torque-Hub™ wheel
drives, low-voltage internal permanent magnet motors, inverters,
slew drives, pump-motor, system pumps, proportional valves, and
electronic control units.
Dana offers advanced drive and motion products for a wide range
of MEWP designs, including scissor lifts, vertical mast lifts,
articulating and telescopic boom lifts, crawler lifts, and
truck-mounted lifts.
"Dana's electrification portfolio for versatile,
high-performance work platforms is driving efficiencies across the
Chinese construction market," said Aziz
Aghili, executive vice president and president of Dana
Off-Highway Drive and Motion Systems. "Our strong and growing
presence in China ideally
positions Dana to support equipment manufacturers in the region
with advanced, integrated drive and motion electrification
technologies."
Advanced, Worksite-Proven Technologies for MEWPs
Used by leading global manufacturers of MEWPs for more than two
decades, the Spicer Torque-Hub brand of wheel and track drives
features a compact planetary design that is ideal for both diesel-
and electric-powered equipment.
Dana's e-Hub drives for MEWPs feature a fully integrated
electro-mechanical configuration in a compact package that includes
enhanced gear geometries for quieter operation. Meanwhile,
its power-dense motor design delivers high efficiency and
best-in-class torque performance.
Dana also designs and manufactures a broad range of Brevini™
motion products to help original-equipment manufacturers (OEM)
comply with platform design, load sensing, dynamic terrain sensing,
safety requirements, and other global safety standards for
MEWPs.
Additionally, Dana leverages vehicle data to improve performance
and reduce total cost of ownership through its Spicer Smart Suite™
Intelligent Load Monitoring System (ILMS). Spicer Smart Suite
ILMS uses patented and proprietary data-harvesting technologies
across the vehicle to prevent tip-over incidents, supply
intelligent calibration management, and estimate axle
attitude. It is designed to alert the operator of potential
tipping situations, reduce the risk of vehicle breakdowns, improve
productivity, and enhance the long-term serviceability of drive
systems.
Dana has been working with MEWP players in China, such as Aichi, Dingli, Genie, Haulotte,
JLG, LGMG, Sinoboom, Sunward, XCMG, and Zoomlion, among others.
Dana's Large Footprint in China
Since establishing operations in China in 1991, Dana has steadily bolstered its
capabilities to support vehicle manufacturers in the region through
numerous investments in engineering and manufacturing
resources.
In August, Dana inaugurated a new 16,000 square-meter
manufacturing and assembly plant in Yancheng, China, to expand the production of highly
specialized hub drives, planetary drives, helical and bevel helical
gearboxes, and hydrostatic solutions. When fully operational,
it will produce approximately 160,000 units per year for OEMs in
the construction, agriculture, and industrial markets.
With 24 facilities and approximately 5,700 employees in
China at its wholly owned and
joint-venture operations, Dana serves numerous off-highway
manufacturers in China, including
AGCO, CRCC, CRCHI, CREG, Dingli, Epiroc, JLG, John Deere, SANY,
Terex, XCMG, and Zoomlion.
