Hydraulic Cab Tilt System Market: Overview

A hydraulic cab tilt system is a mechanism specially used in heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks to tilt the driver’s compartment or cab. This process allows easy access to crucial components such as engines that lay underneath the units. Using these mechanisms, tilting the cab forward is possible thus providing a clear and convenient space for repair, maintenance, and inspection purposes. The system is made of hydraulic cylinders, a hydraulic pump, control valves, and associated plumbing. Once the tilt control is activated, the cylinders are subjected to hydraulic pressure resulting in their extension or retraction. The whole process subsequently causes the cab to tilt. The pump is used to generate necessary and adequate pressure while the control valves are useful in regulating hydraulic fluid flow which is responsible for controlling the movement of the cylinders. The industry is expected to grow at a steady rate.

Hydraulic Cab Tilt System Market: Growth Drivers

Growing demand and application of heavy-duty vehicles to drive market growth

The global hydraulic cab tilt system market is projected to grow owing to the increasing demand and application of heavy-duty vehicles across growing sectors. The use of the tilting system is closely linked to the usage rate of vehicles such as trucks, buses, construction, and agricultural equipment. The growing expansion rate of industries such as construction and logistics along with the rapidly rising investment toward infrastructure development projects result in industry growth. For instance, Amazon USA currently owns more than 3000 electric delivery vans to fulfill customer orders. The company is focusing on expanding its assets and more such milestones may be achieved in the coming years. Additionally, the world is registering a high influx of investment toward infrastructure projects such as bridges, buildings, road networks, and other units. This has resulted in the greater application of large-scale trucks and subsequent growth in the demand for hydraulic cab tilt systems.

Hydraulic Cab Tilt System Market: Restraints

The high initial cost to restrict market expansion

One of the key factors that could greatly restrict global hydraulic cab tilt system industry growth is the high initial cost associated with the implementation of hydraulic cab tilt systems. This includes expenses incurred during the purchase of several crucial components, installation charges, and the cost associated with integration with the structure of vehicles. The expense may not be bearable for certain fleet operations, especially in cost-sensitive sectors. Furthermore, the maintenance and repair complexity of the hydraulic system itself adds to the loss of revenue.

Hydraulic Cab Tilt System Market: Opportunities

Rising demand for electric and hybrid vehicles to provide growth opportunities

The global hydraulic cab tilt system industry is expected to come across certain growth opportunities driven by the increasing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles including commercial buses and trucks. This could create excellent growth avenues since such vehicles require exceptional high-quality maintenance solutions and hydraulic cab tilt systems become essential under such circumstances. For instance, the European economy registered a growth of 26.1% in the electric bus market in 2021.

Hydraulic Cab Tilt System Market: Challenges

Restricted retrofitting options to challenge market growth

The global sales volume of the hydraulic cab tilt system market may not reach its true potential due to the several challenges that arise due to the limited retrofitting options as it may be difficult to retrofit existing vehicles with hydraulic cab tilt systems. This is especially applicable to older vehicles that were never designed to accommodate such systems. This could cause the manufacturers to modify vehicle structure and electrical systems which may seem like a far-fetched process for many industry players.

Hydraulic Cab Tilt System Market: Segmentation

The global hydraulic cab tilt system market is segmented based on Equipment Type, Cab Tilt Angle, component, vehicle type, end-user, and region.

Based on Equipment Type, the global hydraulic cab tilt system market is divided into Excavators, Wheel Loaders, Tractors, Skid Steer Loaders, Backhoe Loaders.

On the basis of Cab Tilt Angle, the global hydraulic cab tilt system market is bifurcated into Less than 45 Degrees, 45-90 Degrees, Greater than 90 Degrees.

Based on components, the global market segments are sensors, hydraulic cylinders, control valves, hydraulic power units, and others. In 2022, the industry generated the highest growth in the hydraulic power units segment. They are responsible for the generation of the hydraulic pressure required to operate the entire system. It consists of a hydraulic pump, motor, reservoir, filters, and other necessary components. Since it acts as the primary source of power generation, the importance of hydraulic power units remains unmatched. Furthermore, the high complexity of the unit is also responsible for the added cost of implementation and making it a higher-value component compared to other parts of the system. As per international standards, the average pressure range of low-pressure pumps is between 0.5 to 5 bars and that of high-pressure pumps is up to 30 bars.
