ADAPTABLE FUNCTIONALITY FOR INTELLIGENT PLOW CONTROL

Effective plow controls require performance, power and precision. Available with fully proportional capabilities and multi-function control in three different configurations, the Uni-Grip™ Series of single joysticks from Cirus Controls offer precision operations for superior winter maintenance. The Uni-Grip™ Series utilizes Cirus Controls’ sophisticated Mako™ software, which allows operators to individually program the speed of each direction of motion without changing wiring or making hydraulic modifications.
