Power Take-off (PTO) Gear Pumps

Harnessing Engine Power for Hydraulic Systems

Power Take-off (PTO) gear pumps are designed to convert mechanical energy from a vehicle or engine into hydraulic power. By connecting directly to a PTO shaft, these pumps enable auxiliary equipment to operate without needing a separate motor – making them essential in agricultural, industrial, marine, and mobile applications.

At Hydraulics Online, we supply power take-off (PTO) gear pumps from a wide range of global manufacturers – including Casappa, OMT, Parker Denison, Ronzio, and many others – with expert advice to help you select the right configuration for your system.

A PTO gear pump is a hydraulic pump driven by a PTO shaft, which transmits rotational energy from a primary power source (typically an engine) to secondary equipment. These pumps are commonly mounted on:

Tractors and agricultural vehicles
Commercial trucks and trailers
Industrial engines and generators

The PTO shaft is usually splined and connects via a drive shaft or bolted joint, allowing the pump to operate as long as the engine is running.

Efficient power transfer – harnesses existing engine power without needing a separate motor
Compact and robust design – built for demanding environments and continuous operation
Versatile mounting options – rear, side, or engine-mounted configurations
Wide flow and pressure range – suitable for light-duty to heavy-duty applications
Cost-effective solution – reduces system complexity and maintenance

These features make PTO gear pumps ideal for powering hydraulic systems in mobile and stationary equipment.

Can PTO gear pumps be used with both AC and DC systems? PTO gear pumps are mechanically driven and independent of electrical systems. They can be integrated into hydraulic setups powered by either AC or DC control systems.

Are these pumps suitable for continuous duty? Yes – many models are designed for continuous operation, especially in industrial and marine environments.

Do I need a specific PTO shaft type? We can help you identify the correct shaft size, spline count, and mounting configuration for your vehicle or engine.
