272 Ford Series

The Chelsea 272 Series Power Take-Off redefines medium-duty hot shift PTO design by combining multiple legacy models—including the 230, 231, 236, 238, 270, and 271—into a single, highly versatile platform. Built for increased durability, its internal components are engineered to handle up to 300 lb-ft of torque in both intermittent and continuous duty applications. With a broad configuration range, the 272 Series offers nine speed ratios, eighteen shift options, and a selection of widely used direct-mount and driveshaft output styles. Direct-mount versions are available with optional Wet-Spline technology, designed to extend PTO and pump shaft life, while driveshaft output configurations can include Smart-Start functionality for improved performance during high-torque startup conditions. The Chelsea 272 Series Hot Shift 6-bolt PTO is offered in both hydraulic and air-shift models and features an integrated air control valve for simplified installation and operation. Designed for demanding vocational environments, the 272 Series is widely used across towing and recovery, aerial lift, construction, and water truck applications, setting a new standard for flexibility and performance in medium-duty PTO systems.
