How We Help
Our controls allow bus drivers to safely operate their vehicle with responsiveness and efficiency. Explore our selection to see what we can do for your buses.
Orscheln designs and manufactures mechanical control cables for many applications in buses and similar vehicles. We offer the most diverse selection of cables of any manufacturer worldwide.
We can meet most of your needs with our signature Felsted and ACCO control cable series, but we can always design custom cables if necessary as well!
Our bus park brake cables are some of our most commonly used control cables. A park brake is necessary on any bus, and with our cables, you can trust your system to perform effectively and safely if necessary.
We provide many different kinds of park brakes for buses and other on-highway vehicles, so use our Build My Park Brake tool to find the perfect product for you.
We build much more than just bus park brake cables! Orscheln designs and builds complete park brake systems. If you need a new park brake lever, we supply various configurations of “overcenter” levers to fit most vehicles.
Most buses use a standard hand lever or foot pedal lever, but we can also design custom levers if you need a specialized solution.
Monitoring fluid levels is vital for any vehicle, and Orscheln makes it easy with our precision dipstick assemblies. Our dipstick assemblies can be used to check your engine oil, coolant water level, hydraulic fluid, and more.
We manufacture these assemblies as complete systems that include a tube, a locking cap, and indicator.
We also make dipstick assemblies specifically to check your bus’ transmission fluid levels. No two transmission ports are the same, but we use customized end fittings to meet the specific requirement of your system.
You can even customize your blade style and marking structure to make your dipstick accurate and easy to use for your vehicle.
If you’re looking to replace the pedal system for your bus, you need Orscheln. Our suspended-style pedals deliver precise electronic signals to your fuel management system to provide the best possible control.
We can make pedals out of lightweight polymers or with a steel base, depending on your prioritie
We also make floor-mounted control pedals to give you the best options to find the perfect pedal for your vehicles. We know proper functionality is vital to your pedals, which is why all of our pedals undergo 100% end-of-line testing to ensure they work properly.
When you choose Orscheln, you’ll quickly see why we’re the best choice for reliable, durable pedals, no matter what style you need.
Orscheln’s mechanical shift systems are designed for easy operation for automatic transmission buses. You can order just the shifter itself or a complete shift assembly when you choose us.
Best of all, any of our shifters can be completely configured with position sensors, switches, and mounting brackets to fit your exact vehicle.
Our options for shifters don’t end with mechanical systems. We also carry electronic push-button shift selectors for buses as well. These systems are programmable and easy to install and wire into your vehicle.
Our versatile electronic shifters work great in automatic, automated manual, or hybrid powertrain buses.
