Construction Equipment Controls & Electrification

Connecting the Systems Behind the Machine

Today’s construction equipment is expected to do more with less. More intelligence, automation and operator control, with greater demands for efficiency, reliability and serviceability.

Nott Company helps construction equipment OEMs integrate hydraulics, electronics, controls and electrification into one cohesive machine solution. From joystick commands and CAN communication to sensors, software and electro-hydraulic actuation, we help ensure the systems work together as they should.

Smarter Machine Controls

Modern machine controls are about more than adding electronics to a hydraulic system. The real value comes from making the hydraulic and electronic systems communicate and respond as one.

Nott works with OEMs to integrate mobile controls, CAN networks, HMIs, joysticks, sensors, telematics and machine diagnostics into rugged, production-ready systems.

Controls & Integration

Mobile machine controls
CAN networks and communication
HMIs and operator interfaces
Joysticks and sensors
Telematics and remote monitoring
Machine diagnostics
Parker IQAN controls
PLC programming
Custom wire harnesses
Electrical system integration

We consider the complete machine to improve operator feel, responsiveness, diagnostics and serviceability.

Electrification Without Losing Performance

Whether you are developing a fully electric machine, a hybrid platform or electrifying individual functions, the entire machine architecture needs to work together.

Nott helps OEMs determine where electrification makes sense and integrate it with existing hydraulic systems. Our capabilities include electric motors and drives, ePumps, ePTO systems, battery integration, charging systems, power distribution and electro-hydraulic propulsion.

Thermal management is part of the equation, too. Batteries, motors, drives and hydraulic components all generate heat, so we consider cooling and system packaging as part of the overall machine architecture.

The result is a system designed around how the equipment needs to perform while keeping manufacturability, serviceability and future platform requirements in mind.

Built for Harsh Environments

Construction equipment operates in demanding conditions. Heat, vibration, dirt, moisture, UV exposure and constant movement can all affect system performance.

Nott can integrate environmental protection into the overall machine design, including:

Hydraulic cooling
Battery thermal management
Thermal shielding
EMI/RFI protection
Acoustic insulation
Gasketing and sealing
Hose protection
Vibration control

These solutions help protect critical components, improve operator comfort and support reliable performance in the field.

From Engineering to the Production Line

Production-ready solutions can include:

Custom wire harnesses
Hose assemblies
Electrical panels
Kits
Sub-assemblies

We can also support the production process with:

Vendor managed inventory
Supplier consolidation

Labeling and packaging

APQP and PPAP requirements

Production launches

Aftermarket support

This can reduce supplier management, floor inventory, and the number of individual components production teams need to source and assemble.

One Partner Across the Machine

Hydraulics, electronics, controls, thermal management and production support are increasingly connected. Managing each system through separate suppliers can add complexity, especially when those systems need to communicate with one another.

Nott brings these disciplines together.

Our teams can support a construction equipment platform from early system design through production and aftermarket support, giving OEM engineering and purchasing teams one partner focused on how the complete machine needs to work, not just individual components.
