Markets Served

Our markets, though varied, all contain one common thread - a need for superior mechanical, hydraulic, and electric precision positioning devices.

 

Aircraft

Everyone who travels by air uses PLP products. We created the original hydraulic seat back recliner, known as the Hydrolok. Nearly every airline worldwide specifies PLP Hydroloks and controls when ordering seats. Our aircraft product line ranges from simple mechanical controls to sophisticated computer controlled electric actuators known as the Electronic Comfort Control System. From cargo doors to overhead storage bins, from the cockpit to crew rest modules, PLP mechanical and hydraulic locks help keep the aircraft flying.

 

Office Equipment

PLP products provide recline, seat tilt, fore and aft tracking, arm rest adjustment, and ergonomic design adjustment for executive and task chairs; plus adjustable devices for work surfaces, computer keyboards and table heights.

 

Medical/Sports

PLP products are ideal for wheelchairs where recline and tilt-in-space adjustments are required, as well as, dental chairs and orthopedic/chiropractic/therapy tables needing many adjustable surfaces. Treadmills, weight machines, rowers, steppers, can all use PLP mechanical locks to change the setup to accommodate a wide variety of people and workout routines.

 

Industrial

PLP products can be used on machine and process applications where adjustments are required for set-up, changeovers and maintenance procedures.
