Hydraulic Tool Control helps maximize worker efficiency.October 27, 2011 -
Paired with EnPak Mechanic Series power system, EnPak® Hydraulic Tool Control allows simultaneous use of mechanic truck's hydraulic crane and 5 or 8 gpm hydraulic tools without switching between crane and circuit controls. HTC provides common hydraulic power distribution location for plumbing to tools and crane circuit, with flow rates to accommodate 5, 8, or 10 gpm hydraulic tools, or two 5 gpm tools. With EnPower technology, engine outputs only as much rpm as is needed to perform job.

Miller Expands Hydraulic Capabilities of EnPak® Mechanic Series with New Hydraulic Tool Control (HTC)
New EnPak Hydraulic Tool Control (HTC) allows for the simultaneous use of a mechanics truck's hydraulic crane and 5 or 8 gpm hydraulic tools without switching circuits; also accommodates 5, 8 and 10 gpm tools, or two 5 gpm tools.
APPLETON, Wis. - Miller Electric Mfg. Co. introduces the EnPak® Hydraulic Tool Control (HTC), a new advancement with the EnPak Mechanic Series that allows simultaneous use of a mechanics truck's hydraulic crane and 5- or 8-gallon-per-minute (gpm) hydraulic tools without needing to switch between crane and circuit controls. The HTC provides a common hydraulic power distribution location for easy plumbing to tools and the crane circuit, and provides flow rates to accommodate 5, 8 or 10 gpm hydraulic tools, or two 5 gpm tools, making it easy to switch between different flow rates and equipment. The HTC requires no complicated tooling and allows for easy integration into EnPak and the mechanics truck, including a heat exchanger, the tool control and the power cable.
"The new EnPak HTC will provide significant benefits to truck integrators and end users alike," says Chris Wierschke, product manager, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. "For integrators, the HTC saves considerable installation time, and provides a clean and compact design that allows for advanced functionality without adding countless fittings, relief valves and new hosing. Field crews will be able to improve their productivity by operating the crane and auxiliary tools at once off the same hydraulic pump without any complicated controls or equipment."
As with EnPak's generator and air compressor, the HTC also matches with features such as Auto Start/Stop and Miller's exclusive EnPower technology to ensure the engine outputs only as much rpm as is needed to perform the job at hand, saving fuel and engine wear while helping to reduce noise on site. There is also no need to add special signal controls to bring EnPak up to speed during hydraulic tool use as is sometimes required with other systems.
About EnPak
EnPak's 27 hp Kubota diesel engine eliminates the need for a PTO and integrates seamlessly into a truck's electrical and fuel systems, allowing mechanics to run all their tools with the truck turned off. This lowers fuel costs up to 30 percent, reduces truck engine idle hours up to 60 percent, lowers truck noise by as much as 10 dB and substantially reduces exhaust fumes in the work area. It effectively eliminates nonproductive drivetrain hours, reduces maintenance costs and extends the useful life of a service truck.
EnPak's variable speed rotary screw air compressor, Miller's Air Pak(TM) 40, offers a rated 40 cfm at 100 psi with a 175 psi maximum that allows mechanics to use air tools without having to stop working to wait for pressure to build. Its Eaton variable displacement piston hydraulic pump provides up to 20 gpm of fluid and offers smooth, fast and accurate crane and tool operation. And 6,000 watts of generator power at 100 percent duty cycle plus an optional 2,400 watts (120 VAC) of pure sine wave EnVerter(TM) power is available at all engine speeds to run electrical tools, including welders, lights and laptops used for equipment diagnostics.
