PowerCube VI

Overview

The Power Cube is a modular, universal, self-contained power unit consisting of an engine coupled to a hydraulic pump, providing power from hydraulic fluid at high pressure through quick connect hoses. It is designed to function as a modular and interchangeable power supply for GVCS technologies.

A lot was learned in the assembly of Power Cube 5. Now, we begin the assembly of Power Cube 6. The new design include symmetrical fuel tank & hydraulic reservoir, simplified engine mounting and a centralized power panel.

Details

The Power Cube was designed in accordance with OSE Specifications for maximum utility. The Power Cube features...

• Modularity - String multiple power cubes together for increased hydraulic power.
• Flexibility - Quick Connect hoses and Quick Attach Plate enable extreme flexibility to place power wherever it is needed.
• Ease of Repair - All engine components are easily accessible and fast to replace/repair with off-the-shelf parts or locally produced equipment.

Product Ecology

Power Cube Product Ecology

The current iteration of the power cube is an off-the-shelf gasoline engine, but the design is intended to be as power source agnostic as possible so that the power production can be readily changed. There will likely be many variations on the power cube design, but all fitting inside a similar size profile so that a GVCS machine can readily swap out one Power Cube for another.
