Challenges in special vehicle construction
Special vehicles for fire services, the military, municipal services and industry require drive components that withstand shock loads, vibration and harsh ambient conditions. The drive trains must also operate reliably at temperatures from -40 to +80 degrees Celsius and be designed for low maintenance, as regular service visits are often not possible.
In addition to robustness, installation space and weight are critical factors, particularly for vehicle-mounted auxiliary drives and lifting systems. Drive components must be able to be integrated into tight vehicle bodies without excessively burdening the payload.
WMH Herion supplies bevel gear units, sprockets and screw jacks for special vehicles that meet the requirements for robust design and long service life even under difficult operating conditions. The components are available in various protection classes and lubricant variants for extreme temperature ranges.
For body drives, tipping systems and lifting equipment on special vehicles, WMH Herion supplies matched drive assemblies. The stock programme ensures that spare parts are available at short notice, including for older vehicle bodies.

What distinguishes WMH Herion as a partner?
Special vehicles, whether emergency vehicles, mobile working machines or special bodies, require drive components that are tailored to the particular application. WMH Herion combines a broad standard range of more than 12,000 items with the expertise for custom manufacturing to customer drawing: individual tooth geometries, special materials, specialised surface treatments.
At WMH Herion, design and production are under one roof, which means short development times, direct coordination and reliable delivery for special vehicle construction, even for small batches. ISO 9001 certified, 100% inspection of safety-critical parts, experienced in implementing individual customer projects with special requirements.
Which drive components are suitable for body tipping systems on special vehicles?
Self-locking screw jacks are suitable for body tipping systems on special vehicles, as they safely hold the tipping position even when the hydraulics are switched off. WMH Herion supplies these in various lifting force classes and mounting forms, on request with low-temperature lubricants for winter use.
Are bevel gear units for special vehicles available in robust designs?
Yes. WMH Herion supplies bevel gear units in robust cast housings that are designed for shock-loaded vehicle applications. Various transmission ratios and flange dimensions allow flexible integration into different vehicle bodies.
Does WMH Herion also supply complete assemblies?
Yes. In addition to individual components, we offer assembled handling axes and complex multi-axis systems, fully assembled, tested and ready for use.
How quickly are standard items available?
Most items from the stock programme are available immediately and are delivered within a few working days. For custom-made solutions, we discuss the delivery time individually.
