Eaton Showcases Mobile Power Innovations at 2026 Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week

Intelligent power management company Eaton 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.

Hot shift PTO for Endurant transmission

Designed for the next generation of automated transmissions, Eaton’s new hot-shift PTO for the Endurant transmission enables smooth clutch-free engagement, even in stop-and-go or continuous-duty environments. By allowing PTO engagement under load, the system improves operational efficiency and helps reduce downtime in demanding applications such as refuse, utility and construction.

Allison wet kits

Eaton will also introduce Allison wet kits, engineered as turnkey hydraulic solutions for customers using Allison automatic transmissions. These integrated kits are designed to simplify installation while delivering consistent hydraulic performance and long-term reliability across a range of vocational applications, including dump, snow and ice, utility and construction equipment.

Pressure-compensated piston pump and heavy-duty PTO solutions

Rounding out the lineup is Eaton’s pressure-compensated piston pump, delivering precise hydraulic control while maximizing system efficiency. Eaton will also showcase rear pneumatic heavy-duty PTO solutions designed for high-load applications, including configurations with reinforced mounting and rotated pump outputs to better support heavy hydraulic pumps. These PTOs offer multiple internal ratios and robust torque and power capabilities to meet the needs of high-demand vocational equipment.

“These new products represent Eaton’s continued commitment to building smarter, more efficient solutions that meet the evolving needs of the commercial vehicle market,” said Brad Gulick, commercial product manager, Eaton’s Mobility Group. “Our customers rely on Eaton for performance and durability and we’re excited to bring expanded PTO and hydraulic options to help them do more with less complexity and greater uptime.”
