One and done.

 

The dynamic 2600 Series delivers power density and performance in a uniquely compact package – providing an impressive 40 kW/L (53.5 hp/L) at 0.45 kW/kg (0.27 hp/lb). That makes it an ideal choice for a broad range of off-highway applications, from agricultural machinery like tractors and harvesters, to construction equipment such as excavators and dozers, to material handling equipment as well as industrial pumps and compressors. The 2600 Series is built and tested to power more of the equipment that moves the world forward.
