Land vehicles such as armored tracked vehicles, tactical wheeled vehicles, transport and support vehicles are central to modern defense concepts. They must function reliably under heavy loads, in difficult terrain and at extreme temperatures. The requirements range from vehicle mobility and the safe operation of heavy doors and hatches to efficient maintenance and spare parts supply in the field.
Parker Solutions for Land Vehicles
Parker offers a broad portfolio of products and systems specifically designed to meet these requirements. Examples include:
This electronically controlled tire pressure control system (CTIS) allows tire pressure to be adjusted to different terrain types while driving. With extremely fast deflation rates, robust IP69K-certified wheel valves, and J1939-compliant control, CTIS increases mobility on soft ground, reduces soil compaction, and extends tire life. CTIS has long been standard equipment on military wheeled vehicles, as it significantly enhances operational capability and range.
The DAS ensures the safe and controlled opening and closing of heavy vehicle doors. In armored vehicles such as MRAPs, this is a crucial contribution to crew safety. The system is designed to be fail-safe, requires minimal maintenance, and can be used even under the most adverse conditions.
In addition to pneumatic solutions, Parker also offers electro-hydraulic systems that are compact, powerful, and designed for heavy loads. These systems facilitate the maneuvering of heavy vehicles while simultaneously increasing safety for drivers and crew.
Parker produces robust cylinders in various designs (linear, rotary, electro-hydraulic) specifically engineered for defense vehicles. Corrosion protection coatings like Global Shield ensure exceptional durability.
Systems that significantly reduce maintenance times by enabling quick changes of engine or hydraulic oil in the field. This minimizes downtime and increases vehicle availability.
Our Expertise for Land Vehicles
In addition to Parker components, Vogel supplies NATO-compliant hose assemblies, measuring instruments, and transport solutions that integrate seamlessly into military platforms. Our hose assemblies are tested, pressure-tested, and documented according to international standards. Measuring instruments such as the SensoControl Service Master allow for the monitoring of pressures, temperatures, and flow rates—a crucial component for predictive maintenance concepts. Furthermore, we develop and supply transport racks and tool sets specifically designed for field repair tasks.
This creates a comprehensive system of Parker technologies and Vogel solutions that supports military land vehicles throughout all phases of their lifecycle: from development and series production to modernization.
