PTO Gearbox for Car Haulers: Everything You Need to Know

What is PTO in Gearbox?

PTO stands for Power Take-Off. In the gearbox, PTO is a mechanism that transfers power from the engine to auxiliary equipment such as a hydraulic pump, generator, or compressor. PTO is an essential component in vehicles such as trucks, tractors, and car haulers.

Types of PTO Gearboxes

• Side-mounted PTO gearbox: This gearbox is mounted on the side of the engine and is best suited for trucks that need to run a hydraulic pump.
• Under-mounted PTO gearbox: This gearbox is mounted under the engine and is best suited for trucks that run a compressor.
• Split-shaft PTO gearbox: This gearbox is mounted between the engine and the transmission.
• Integral PTO gearbox: This gearbox is integrated into the transmission and eliminates the need for an external PTO unit.
