Power Takeoff Service for Hydraulic Pump-Driven Equipment
National Fleet Management repairs, maintains, and installs Power Takeoff (PTO) units on heavy-duty vehicles at our shops in Charlotte, Greensboro, Durham, and Statesville, NC. A PTO transfers power from the vehicle's engine or transmission to drive hydraulic pumps and attachments, which means when it fails, everything depending on it stops working, even if the rest of the truck runs fine.
PTO issues often show up as an engagement problem rather than a clear failure, which can make the root cause harder to pin down without proper diagnosis. NFM identifies whether the issue is mechanical, hydraulic, or related to the shift mechanism itself, and repairs or replaces the PTO accordingly. For vehicles being upfitted with new equipment, NFM also installs PTO units to support the application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a PTO be installed on a vehicle that didn't originally come with one?
Yes, NFM installs PTO units on vehicles being upfitted for new equipment or applications.
What causes a PTO to fail to engage?
Common causes include a worn or damaged PTO shift mechanism, air supply issues on air shift PTOs, or wear on the PTO gear itself.
What's the difference between an air shift and hydraulic shift PTO?
An air shift PTO engages using the vehicle's air brake system, while a hydraulic shift PTO engages using hydraulic pressure. Each has different maintenance points, and NFM services both types.
