During cold weather, hydraulic oil’s viscosity increases, which can lead to issues ranging from slow operation and pump cavitations to increased pressures resulting in hydraulic system damage. The Altec Industries' tool circuit oil warming kits take advantage of friction causing heat when oil is passed through a reduced space, thereby reducing your risk to hydraulic system damage.

The following kits attach to the tool circuit at either the tailshelf or platform of your unit. As the chassis is being warmed up, engagement of the PTO and activation of the tool circuit will warm the hydraulic oil as well.

No installation, modification, or tying into the chassis electrical system is required. These kits can be added to any tool circuit on any hydraulic system with Parker Hannifin 3/8 flush face quick-disconnect fittings. Extra sets are available using part # 35620132.
