PTO’s

Power Take-Offs (PTOs) are essential components in various types of heavy machinery, including dump trucks, tow trucks, and agricultural equipment. Despite their critical role, many people are still unfamiliar with what PTOs are and how they function.

A Power Take-Off (PTO) is a device that transfers mechanical power from an engine to another piece of equipment. Commonly found in trucks and agricultural machinery, PTOs allow these vehicles to perform additional tasks beyond their primary functions. For instance, in a dump truck, the PTO enables the hydraulic system to raise and lower the truck bed.
