Eaton has introduced 6 new, lower-torque versions of its UltraShift Plus automated transmissions, targeting vocational users.

The manufacturer has added three new models each to the Vocational Construction and Vocational Multipurpose series transmissions. Available in 10- and 11-speed configurations, the transmissions have torque ratings of 1,050, 1,150 and 1250 pound-feet.


“By lowering the torque ratings in these transmissions, we now have an ideal platform of models for customers who do not require higher torque engines,” said Shane Groner, North America product planning manager for Eaton’s commercial vehicle transmission division. Groner listed municipalities and construction fleets as potential customers for the new models, along with other vocational fleets.


Heavier-duty UltraShift models can handle up to 2,250 pound-feet of torque.


All of Eaton’s UltraShift Plus transmissions are available in overdrive and direct-drive models, and feature self-adjusting electronic clutch actuation. The transmissions also feature grade sensing, weight computation and driver throttle commands.

Also offered are hill start assistance and six-,eight- and through-shaft power take-off options.
