Boom Trucks

HED has developed custom solutions to meet the rigorous requirements of the aerial boom truck industry, including a complete envelope control system. From controlling the hydraulically driven boom functions to controlling lights and wipers, HED can provide a complete multiplexed solution that will reduce the cost and complexity of your aerial boom truck.

Potential Applications: 

• Controlling boom functions with a closed-loop PWM signal for excellent proportionality and fine metering
• Input modules to convert discrete and proportional analog sensor into CAN

• CAN based Keypad to simplify the wiring for driving your outriggers

• Broad line up of displays to integrate engine and vehicle controls and diagnostic information
• Keypad for the cab to control lighting
• Engine and Transmission Control
• Ability to control and monitor the engine and transmission

• Dataloggers with up to 4GB and optional Wi-Fi communication to log critical events
• Fleet management via a fully functional Telematics system including the ability to download application code remotely to the vehicle
• Complete envelop control using a 32 bit processor
• High current Power modules to drive lights and wiper (up to 40 amps per output)

• User friendly software to allow you to modify and update your control system as required 

Advantages

Cost Effective

• Distributing the vehicle controls will significant reduce wiring harness especially above the turret into the boom
• Reduced Installation Cost
• Lower Cost of Ownership
• Reducted Warranty Cost
  • Reduced wiring
  • Robust products

Increased Performance

• Closed-loop current control (up to 5mA accuracy) for fine metering and a smooth boom control
• Envelop control can monitor the position of the basket and create restricted areas of motion

Improved Efficiency

• Ability to coordinate functions (lift, extend, etc.)
• Ability to coordinate subsystem (hydraulic, lighting and powertrain) to maximize fuel efficiency

Enhanced Flexibility

• User-friendly software allows you to modify functionality in the field
• Telematics allow you to download new functionality remotely from the web
• CAN based, distributed system allows module to be added quickly to the system
