Mobile Power and PTOs

SOUTHFIELD, Mich.- Intelligent power management company Eaton today announced it will showcase four new mobile power innovations at the upcoming Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW), taking place Jan. 19-22, 2026 in Grapevine, Texas, at its exhibit in Booth #1607. The new offerings expand Eaton's already comprehensive vocational and heavy-duty truck portfolio, delivering greater flexibility, reliability and performance for fleets and upfitters.

Mobile power take-offs (PTOs) PT 500 series for Dodge transmissions

Eaton is introducing its all-new PT 500 Series PTOs, purpose-built for Dodge transmissions, including compatibility with ZF PowerLine 8AP and Torqueflite HD applications. Designed for demanding vocational use, the PT 500 Series features a low-profile hot-shift two-gear PTO design with hydraulic shifting in stationary mode. The PTO mounts laterally on either side of the transmission, giving upfitters installation flexibility.

The PT 500 Series delivers continuous torque up to 380 Nm (280 lb.-ft.) and intermittent torque up to 530 Nm (391 lb.-ft.), with power output reaching 40 kW (54 hp) at 1,000 rpm. An engine-to-PTO ratio of 1:1.21 supports efficient power transfer, while the compact 24 kg (53 lb.) design helps minimize added vehicle weight. For smoother engagement and reduced torque peaks, Eaton will also highlight its optional soft electro-hydraulic soft-start shifting kit, designed specifically for hot-shift PTO applications.
