Why Mobile Hydraulic OEMs Are Upgrading to Flex Pro2
In the fast-moving mobile hydraulic market that rewards innovation, OEMs gain a competitive edge by upgrading to solutions that offer greater flexibility, fresh features, and the adaptability needed to maximize equipment performance.
Where Flex Pro2 makes a difference:
Engineered for Flexibility
Flex Pro2 communicates with Radio Controlled Programming (RCP), giving mobile integrators easy access to the device and allowing for quick updates. It also adds tethered CAN and RF capabilities for reliable control when wireless signals are challenged. Plus, an optional magnet mount lets operators easily secure the transmitter to a truck or machine for convenient, hands free access.
Updated Ergonomics
Flex Pro2 boosts operator convenience with tactile 3‑step push buttons for precise control and redesigned side‑mounted labels that last longer in tough environments. New 4‑ and 6‑button layouts let OEMs choose the right transmitter to fit their application’s motion requirements.
Smarter Power
A replaceable battery cover enables quick conversion to a tethered connection for reliable operation in harsh or interference‑heavy environments. The Flex Pro2 charging cradle can be mounted and hard‑wired directly into a vehicle, keeping transmitters powered, while AA and rechargeable batteries ensure operators can stay running throughout high‑usage shifts.
