Abstract: An electric power take-off system for mounting to a truck body to complement an existing power-take-off system powered by an internal combustion engine. The system includes a motor, battery, fluid reservoir, pump and a digital sensing unit for sensing at least one of fluid pressure or a fluid flow rate within the fluid delivery conduit. The digital sensing unit also includes an output capability. The system also includes a motor controller in operable communication with the digital sensing unit as well as the motor for instantaneously controlling the rotational speed of the motor. The motor controller in turn limits operation of the motor only to occasions of truck function operation initiated by the system operator.

Abstract: An electric power take-off system for mounting to a truck body to complement an existing power-take-off system powered by an internal combustion engine. The system includes a motor, a battery for providing electrical power to the motor, a fluid reservoir, a pump for pumping fluid through at least one hose from the fluid reservoir to at least one truck function and for return of the fluid to the reservoir. The system also includes a system interlock rendering inoperable the electric power-take-off system when the internal combustion engine is in operation and a motor controller in communication with the motor for controlling the power output of the motor. The system also includes a charging unit for charging of the battery and a data management system operable to collect data.
