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:

Tethered Flex Pro 2 LP

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.

FP 2 Family

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.

Charger Flex Pro 2

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.

 

Flex Pro2 vs. Flex Pro: What's Changed and Why It Matters

Flex Pro2 builds on the proven foundation of Flex Pro while addressing the needs of next‑generation mobile hydraulic equipment.
Wider Operating Temperature Range

Flex Pro2 expands environmental capability to –40°F to 185°F (–40°C to 85°C), compared to –13°F to 167°F (–25°C to 75°C) for Flex Pro.

OEM benefit: Supports broader deployment regions and more demanding duty cycles with a single platform.

 
Off‑the‑Shelf Rechargeable Power

Flex Pro2 uses standard AA NiMH rechargeable batteries with double the per‑cell capacity of prior proprietary packs.

OEM benefit: Reduced sourcing risk, improved serviceability, and simplified lifecycle management.

Built‑In USB Configuration

Flex Pro2 adds USB configuration via the Receiver Configuration Program (RCP).

OEM benefit: Faster setup, easier parameter changes, and reduced commissioning time during production and field support.

Configurable Button Types

Flex Pro2 supports proportional, 1‑step, 2‑step, or 3‑step buttons.

OEM benefit: One transmitter platform can support different machine behaviors and operator preferences across product lines.

 

 

Extended Wireless Operating Range

Flex Pro2 increases operating distance to 328 ft (100 m).

OEM benefit: Enables greater flexibility for larger machines, extended work envelopes, and varied operator positions.
