Closed-Circuit Piston Pumps for Crawler Crane Travel and Auxiliary Systems
Crawler cranes, alongside excavators and bulldozers, are a genuine documented application for Sauer Danfoss's Series 90 closed-circuit piston pump family — typically running the crawler travel drive as a hydrostatic system, distinct from the crane's main boom/hoist circuit (usually Rexroth, Parker or Kawasaki territory). PumpGrid refurbishes the Series 90 travel pump to original tolerances, tested before dispatch.
Crawler cranes need two distinct hydraulic capabilities: precise, high-pressure control for lifting (boom, hoist, slew) and hydrostatic drive for track propulsion — moving the crane itself around a site. Sauer Danfoss's Series 90 closed-circuit piston pump, the same family used in excavator and tractor travel drives, commonly handles the track propulsion side. If your crane's issue is specifically travel — pulling to one side, weak propulsion, unresponsive speed control — rather than lifting capacity, this page covers the correct pump.
WhatsApp your crane's make, model and symptom — we'll help confirm which pump before you order.
Measured against Sauer Danfoss tolerance for the closed-circuit design.
Inspected and rebuilt — responsible for replenishing oil flow in the closed circuit.
Tested for smooth, accurate travel speed control.
Verified in a closed-circuit rig, confirming charge pressure and output before dispatch.
We help confirm whether your issue is the travel pump or the main boom system before you order.
Refurbishment saves significantly against new import pricing.
Written test report with actual charge pressure and output readings.
Replacement, not repair, if a refurbishment defect appears within warranty.
