How autonomy is revolutionizing the mobile machine industry
The off-highway industry is undergoing great change lately, in particular with autonomous technologies advancements. For hydraulic engineers developing systems for mobile construction machinery, this transformation represents both challenges and opportunities. While autonomy may not aim to replace human operators entirely, it is redefining their role, improving productivity, safety, and efficiency. Modern off-highway machines incorporate features […]
CONEXPO-CON/AGG looks back on more than a century of growth
As CONEXPO‑CON/AGG 2026 nears, the construction industry’s largest event celebrates its rich lineage — 117 years in the making and North America’s biggest platform for construction innovation. From humble beginnings in 1909, when the original Road Show in Columbus, Ohio hosted 40 equipment manufacturers in a 40,000‑sq‑ft space, to today’s 2.9 million‑sq‑ft, 2,000 exhibitor event, […]
7 steps to prevent hydraulic motor failure
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Preventing hydraulic motor failure involves a combination of proper design, maintenance, and operation practices. Despite resembling hydraulic pumps, motors are unique in that they convert hydraulic energy (in the form of pressure and flow) into rotational energy (in the form of running torque). Hydraulic motors drive winches, wheels and pullies, […]

How to optimize space in mobile hydraulics
Contributed by Hallie Riley & Victoria Lower • IC Fluid Power When you step onto the floor of an industrial plant, the vast scale and constant hum of activity are undeniable. Massive hydraulic presses and intricate pipework stretch across the floor with the kind of freedom this scale allows. Space is abundant and equipment can […]
Hydraulic cylinders provide the safe lifting on self-propelled inloader
At bauma in April, Combilift, an Irish material handling equipment manufacturer, unveiled its newest innovation — a self-propelled inloader called the COMBi-SPI. This launch marks a significant milestone in the transport of high loads, such as precast concrete, wall panels or glass A-frames, within production facilities and yard environments. The COMBi-SPI is an efficient, maneuverable […]
