Hydraulic and Automation Suppliers added

The addition of Poclain Hydraulics and Danfoss Drives round out a comprehensive portfolio.

Price Engineering, a leading distributor and systems integrator in the state of Wisconsin, continues to add to its supplier line-up with the additions of Poclain Hydraulics and Danfoss Drives.

Poclain Hydraulics is a world leader in hydrostatic transmissions based on high performance, cam-lobe and radial-piston motors. Price will have access to their full line of motors, pumps, valves, electronics and other related hydraulic components for mobile vehicles.

Danfoss, a global provider of industrial automation products, will work with Price to supply their Danfoss VLT® and Vacon variable frequency drives (VFD’s). Used to control the speed and torque of electrical motors, the addition of these drives is an additional step in Price’s automation strategy.

“We are proud to join forces with these two world class leaders in the hydraulic and VFD markets.” says Tom Price Jr., president and CEO of Price Engineering. “With the addition of these two suppliers we are continuing to provide OEM’s and users with a comprehensive portfolio of quality hydraulic and automation products.”

Each of the product lines work well in industrial markets such as marine, construction, mining and rail. For both suppliers, Price’s territory covers Wisconsin, Upper Michigan and Northern Illinois.

The addition of these suppliers comes only weeks after Price announced a distribution agreement with Rethink Robotics, a Boston, MA company that builds smart, collaborative robots.
