Proven electro-hydraulic rear-axle steering for heavy off-road vehicles

Off-road vehicles with a long wheelbase need to manoeuvre precisely in extreme conditions, such as narrow switchbacks, tight construction tracks, soft ground, steep slopes and constant vibration loads. ETS (electro-hydraulic steering technology) allows one or more additional axles to turn in unison, thereby reducing the turning circle. Thanks to its stand-alone design featuring its own electric or mechanical motor pump, the system operates independently of the central hydraulic system.

Why choose ETS for off-road vehicles?

Shorter turning circle on switchbacks and confined worksites
ETS reduces the turning circle and improves manoeuvrability, increasing operational efficiency on tight off-road routes.

Stable at higher driving speeds on haul roads
ETS’s speed-dependent control system provides maximum manoeuvrability at low speeds and stable, predictable handling at higher speeds.

Stand-alone, without changes to the existing vehicle architecture
ETS is independent of the front-axle steering system and allows for flexible integration without requiring modifications to the existing vehicle architecture.

Built for extreme conditions
ETS supports steering angles of up to 45° and high axle loads. It has been developed to ensure reliable performance in challenging off-road conditions.

Safety, efficiency and configuration

Less tyre wear through the Ackermann steering principle
The Ackermann steering principle minimises lateral tyre wear, thereby lowering operating costs.

ASIL-C certified in accordance with ISO 26262
The ASIL-C safety concept features a dual-circuit cylinder and active centring to ensure predictable handling, even under severe operating conditions.

80% standard, 20% tailored to your vehicle
ETS offers a standardised approach that can be customised to suit vehicle configuration, axle load profile, and operational deployment.
