Universal-Hydraulic-Oil
Universal hydraulic oil is a multi-purpose fluid formulated for use across a range of hydraulic systems and operating conditions. It provides lubrication, power transmission, and heat dissipation within hydraulic circuits. Using a universal oil can simplify maintenance and reduce the need to stock multiple fluid types across mixed fleets. However, it must still meet the…
Urban-Mode Eco Setting
Automatic mode lowering engine revs and water flow for light debris loads. Reduces fuel use and meets low-emission-zone requirements.
Universal-Joint Coupling
A universal joint coupling transmits rotational power between two shafts operating at different angles. It allows torque transfer even where alignment changes during movement or articulation. Universal joints accommodate misalignment while reducing driveline stress. Wear often shows as vibration, noise, or uneven movement under load. They may be associated with driveline or auxiliary systems that…
Urban-Route Planning Software
Urban route planning software is used to plan and optimise vehicle movements within complex urban environments where access, timing, and restrictions must be carefully managed. It supports efficient deployment of vehicles across congested networks. The software considers factors such as road layouts, vehicle size, service priorities, traffic conditions, and time windows to generate practical routes.…
Universal-Lighting Connector
Standard connector enabling plug-and-play work-light upgrades. Simplifies electrical retrofits across mixed fleets.
Urban-Sweeping Schedule
Pre-planned schedule allocating early-morning or evening routes in high-traffic zones. Balances operational efficiency with noise restrictions.
Unloader Bypass
Bypass relieving pump when dead-headed.
Urban-Zone Speed Limiter
System that caps sweeping speed automatically in city centres. Ensures compliance with local authority environmental permits.
Unloader Valve (Pump)
Relieves pressure when spray circuit is closed.
Urea Tank Heater
A urea tank heater is used to prevent AdBlue (urea solution) from freezing in vehicles fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. It supports reliable dosing by maintaining fluid temperature above its freezing point in cold conditions. Systems may use electrical heating elements or coolant-based heat exchange depending on vehicle design. Frozen urea can restrict…
