SPLIFT NEXT: DC motor control for operating machines

In the increasingly demanding landscape of industrial automation, precise control of traction and steering is an essential requirement. ALMEC responds with SPLIFT-NEXT: a controller designed for dual DC motor systems up to 500 W, capable of operating reliably from warehouse to construction site, through to the most extreme environments.

Technical features


The device features two independent proportional power channels — one dedicated to traction and one to steering — enabling decoupled, precise control with no interference between the two systems. Safety is ensured by a microcontroller with an integrated watchdog, guaranteeing fail-safe operation even in the most critical situations.

On the connectivity side, SPLIFT-NEXT natively integrates the CANBUS protocol, making it immediately compatible with advanced control architectures without the need for external adapters. The construction is designed for intensive industrial use: UL94-V0 ABS housing, an aluminium plate for thermal dissipation, and zinc-plated steel power connectors. The operating range spans from −20 °C to +60 °C, suited to the most demanding environments.

Applications on industrial and special vehicles


Warehouse and logistics vehicles

Electric pallet trucks, automatically guided vehicles (AGV), autonomous mobile robots (AMR), and small internal tow tractors.


Light construction machinery

Mini dumpers, motorised wheelbarrows, small electric-drive earthmoving machines.


Maintenance and service vehicles

Industrial sweepers, scrubber-dryers, green area maintenance machines (ride-on mowers, garden tractors).


Special platforms and mobile robotics

Service robots, mobile platforms for industrial automation, remote-controlled vehicles for inspection or material handling in hazardous environments.


Airport and port vehicles

Small baggage tractors, low-speed service vehicles operating in controlled areas.
