Modularity and efficiency

For the most demanding applications, only the highest flow and the highest pressure will do.

The PVG 128/256 are built to take control with up to 500 l/min per section supplied with up to 1200 l/min (300 US gal/min) pump flow.

Rock-solid control and optimum safety are more critical than ever when it comes to the biggest applications and the heaviest tasks.

This new proportional (pre-compensated) load-sensing valve series can easily be built together with PVG 32 and PVG 16 making it easy to build a valve that is adapted to the flow needs of the most demanding application.

Application opportunities

Go with our PVG 128/256 and optimize work functions on cranes, mining, drill rigs and marine applications like winches and bow thruster.

Machine benefits

Smooth load-independent flow control for optimum productivity and precise operation

Energy-efficient load-sensing technology for maximum safety and a long system life

CAN bus control for lower installation cost and increased diagnostics

Product features

Optimized for lower pressure drop and higher efficiency

Compact sectional platform solution for easy integration with PVG 16 and PVG 32

Compact design, easy installation and serviceability 

Individual LS A/B relief valves ensure energy efficient, safe and reliable operation
