272 Series

The Chelsea 272 Series Power Take-Off represents a redesigned approach to medium-duty hot shift PTOs, consolidating several legacy models—including the 230, 231, 236, 238, 270, and 271—into a single, more versatile platform. Engineered for greater durability, the internal components are upgraded to handle up to 300 lb-ft of torque on both an intermittent and continuous basis. The 272 Series offers extensive configuration flexibility, including nine speed ratios, eighteen shift options, and a range of popular direct-mount and driveshaft output choices. Direct-mount configurations are available with optional Wet-Spline technology, which helps extend PTO and pump shaft service life, while driveshaft output versions can be equipped with Smart-Start functionality for improved performance under high-torque start-up conditions. Available in both hydraulic and air-shift configurations, the Chelsea 272 Series Hot Shift 6-bolt PTO also includes an integral air control valve for simplified installation and operation. Designed for demanding vocational applications, it is widely used in towing and recovery, aerial equipment, construction, and water truck markets, delivering a high level of flexibility and performance in a single PTO platform.
