Enerpac W8000X Low Profile Drive Unit – Built for Rugged Precision in Tight Spaces
When you're in the field or on the shop floor, working with heavy equipment and confined spaces, the last thing you need is a bulky, over-complicated lifting solution. The Enerpac W8000X Low Profile Drive Unit delivers exactly what professionals need: compact power, precision engineering, and proven durability under pressure.
With an 80-ton capacity and a low-profile design, this drive unit is a go-to for heavy lifting applications where space is limited, but performance can't be compromised. Whether you're lifting mining equipment, servicing off-road vehicles, or working on construction gear in the field, the W8000X is engineered to perform—time and time again.
What Makes the W8000X Stand Out?
This unit isn't just about brute force—it's about controlled power. The W8000X pairs with W-series low-profile cylinders, forming a modular system that allows for safe, stable, and efficient lifting, even in harsh or uneven environments.
Thanks to its compact form, it fits where traditional drive units won't. And with high-strength alloy steel construction, it's built to withstand tough job site abuse while maintaining precision performance. It's field-serviceable, meaning less downtime and more control over your operations—whether you're stationed in a workshop or 100 miles into the backcountry.
Real-World Example
Imagine servicing a 100-ton haul truck in a remote mining location. There's no room for error—and no room for large, immobile equipment. The W8000X, combined with a low-profile cylinder, can slide under the axle with minimal clearance, safely raise the load, and get your crew back to work without delay. It's the kind of reliability you don't question—it just works.
