The industrial vehicle sector demands more than just high performance — it demands precision, adaptability, and innovation. Whether it's construction machinery, mining equipment, special transport vehicles, or off-road platforms, every component needs to be optimized for durability, efficiency, and integration.

At OHP Service, we bring a sharp focus to one critical area: powertrain transmission systems, and specifically, cardan shafts engineered to meet the exact technical needs of every vehicle we support.

This blog will serve as a window into our world — where engineering excellence, customer-centric design, and deep technical analysis converge to create smart transmission solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s industrial vehicles.

A Fully Integrated Engineering Department — At Your Service

Our greatest asset isn’t just what we build — it’s how we design it.

OHP Service is proud to have its own in-house engineering department, which allows us to take full responsibility for the entire technical process — from the first concept study to final delivery and field testing. This vertical integration means faster reaction times, higher design accuracy, and real co-development with your engineering team.

We don’t rely on assumptions or guesswork. Instead, we use a data-driven approach that blends field experience with simulation, prototyping, and validation. The result? Cardan shaft systems that integrate seamlessly into your vehicle design and perform reliably under real-world operating conditions.

A Customer-Tailored Approach, Always

In the world of industrial vehicles, there is no “one-size-fits-all.” Each vehicle has its own architecture, load profile, operational environment, and functional constraints. That’s why every project we take on starts with a simple question:

What does the customer truly need?

Whether you’re designing a brand-new vehicle or upgrading an existing platform, our team works hand-in-hand with your R&D, design, and production departments to define the best possible solution for your application. From flexible joints for complex geometries, to lightweight designs that reduce fuel consumption, to high-torque shafts built for the harshest terrain — we design to fit, not to force.

From Early-Stage Design to Final Production — Full Commitment

We don’t just step in when the specs are finalized. Our philosophy is to become involved as early as possible in your vehicle development cycle. This allows us to:

  • Contribute to layout discussions
  • Perform real-time simulations of shaft behavior
  • Avoid future mechanical integration problems
  • Optimize performance and cost-efficiency from day one

And when the design is validated, we continue to support our customers all the way through prototyping, testing, small series production, and into full-scale manufacturing.

High-Tech Prototyping & Shaft Behavior Analysis

Understanding how a cardan shaft behaves once integrated into the vehicle is essential — especially when performance, vibration, and durability matter.

That’s why OHP Service invests heavily in advanced prototyping tools and test analysis technologies, including:

  • 3D modeling and simulation of shaft dynamics
  • Torsional vibration analysis under load conditions
  • Alignment and angularity assessments for complex drivetrains
  • Field validation and performance optimization loops

By going deep into the behavior of the shaft within your vehicle’s full system, we help increase efficiency, reduce mechanical stress, improve comfort, and ultimately enhance the overall performance of the vehicle.

Driving the Future of Industrial Vehicle Transmission

Whether you’re developing a high-torque hauler, a low-emission utility vehicle, or a hybrid off-road platform, OHP Service is ready to be your transmission partner.

With deep technical knowledge, full engineering capacity, and a passion for precision, we are committed to delivering cardan shaft systems that not only meet your requirements — but make your vehicle better.
