Abstract:
1. An add-on hydraulic power system for a utility vehicle having an engine with a crankshaft, the system comprising a first rotationally-driven power generating device having a first rotational input for operative coupling thereof to the crankshaft for driven rotation thereby, a second rotationally-driven power generating device having a second rotational input, and a secondary shaft having an input end portion arranged for rotational coupling to a rotationally driven member of the first rotationally-driven power generating device and an output end portion arranged for rotational coupling to the second rotational input for driving of the second rotationally-driven power generating device under driven operation of the first rotationally-driven power generating device by the crankshaft, wherein the first power generating device is one of a hydraulic pump and an alternator and the second power generating device is one of a hydraulic pump and an alternator, provided that the first power generating device is a different power generating device from the second power generating device; and wherein the first and second rotationally-driven power generating devices are spaced apart from one another in an axial direction parallel to rotational axes of the first and second rotational inputs and face one another end-to-end in said axial direction, and the secondary shaft lies in the axial direction and is radially offset from both the first rotational input of the first rotationally-driven power generating device and the second rotational input of the second rotationally-driven power generating device.
