HKX, Inc. Load Hold Valve Kits HKX field-installed Load Hold Valve (LHV) kits improve excavator performance in lift applications where the load needs to be held for extended periods of time and where extra precision (no load movement) is needed. Unlike standard hose burst and anti-drift valves, the valves in the HKX LHV kits are designed to give superior load holding capability while providing overload relief and hose failure protection for the boom and arm cylinders. Each valve holds the actuator (cylinder) in its position without leakage when the main valve is centered. Therefore, the hydraulic oil cannot be forced out of the cylinder by the cylinder load, preventing cylinder drift. The result is precise control while holding or placing heavy loads. In addition, the valve prevents uncontrolled lowering of the load in the event of a hose failure, ensuring compliance with hose burst requirements of DIN 24093, ISO 8643 and EN 474. HKX LHV kits, complete with comprehensive illustrated installation instructions, include load holding valves on the two boom cylinders and arm cylinder, and all connecting tubes, hoses, proportional pilot control lines and hardware.
