How We Help
We’ve worked in the defense space for over 40 years. We’ll help you develop custom control solutions for many different systems across tracked armored vehicles. Shop our selection to see how we serve military clients.
We design and fabricate every kind of mechanical control cable for wheeled armored vehicles. Whether you need push-pull, T-handle, control head, valve control, throttle, tension, and vernier cables, we can help with our extensive product selection.
Our military-grade cables are designed with a thick polymer jacket to protect against dust and debris in any operating conditions.
Park brake cables are a specific subset of our mechanical control cables. Any wheeled armored vehicle needs a parking brake for safety and security. We test all of our park brake cables in house to validate them for service by our OEM clients.
Not sure which cable you need? With our Build My Park Brake tool, you can input your vehicle parameters and receive custom suggestions just for your vehicle.
Orscheln builds complete park brake assemblies as well as individual wheeled armored vehicle parts. You can specify your park brake lever style between hand lever and foot pedal operations, depending upon the needs of your vehicle.
We’ll even design custom levers based on the specifications of your vehicles.
To get the best out of your vehicles, you need a reliable way to measure your fluid levels throughout the engine. Almost all wheeled armored vehicles use engine oil, coolant, and hydraulic fluid that needs to be regularly monitored.
With our innovative Twist2Lock dipstick assemblies, you can find the most accurate fluid levels and bring out the maximum performance from your equipment.
Our wheeled armored vehicle parts offerings include specialized transmission dipstick assemblies. When you order any dipstick assembly from us, you’ll receive the fluid indicator itself as well as a locking cap and an outer tube.
We can custom-bend the dipstick tube to easily integrate into any engine configuration.
Orscheln also builds throttle control systems for our defense clients. If your vehicle uses a suspended pedal system, we can provide you with a complete pedal box or just the pedals, depending on your needs.
Our pedals are responsive and dependable to give your vehicle the best possible performance.
The vehicles we supply need to be able to handle rough terrain, inclement weather, and heavy loads–and that means dependability is key. Our floor-mounted foot pedals offer the best in reliability and customization for our clients.
You can choose a lighter, polymer-based design or a more durable steel pedal. You can even change the length, sensitivity, and more when you work with Orscheln
Orscheln supplies stock mechanical shifters and custom-designed shift systems for our military clients. Our mechanical controls can be used for any automatic transmission system.
Our wheeled armored vehicle parts for shift systems undergo extensive testing and certification before ever being sent to our OEM clients.
For vehicles that use electronic shift control systems, we make innovative and reliable push-button shift selectors. Our electronic shifters feature a diagnostic readout that can be easily programmed based on your vehicles’ needs.
We distribute individual components and complete shift assemblies to give you the best flexibility when you shop with Orscheln.
