Buyers Products Cables and Controls
Buyers Products control cables and remote valve controls for dump hoists, PTO pumps and spool valves, sold by a Winnipeg dealer that ships across Canada. The collection holds the 3100 and 4100 series vernier adjustable locking cables, the 5200 and 6200 series universal mount cables, R38D and R38DR push-pull cables with 5 inch and 3 inch travel, remote spool valve controls and K80 series multi-function PTO and pump valves.
The linkage hardware is here too: adjustable and plain yoke ends, clevis rod ends with pin and cotter, forged rod ends and rod end bearings. Rounding it out are replacement throttle cables, 1-gauge battery booster cables and the camera interface cables Buyers makes for Ram, Ford and GM trucks. Most parts ship in 7 to 10 business days.
Control cables, valve controls and linkage ends for hoists and PTO equipment
A dump hoist or PTO is usually operated from the cab by a push-pull control cable, and Buyers Products builds the cables, the cab-end controls and the rod ends that connect them. The core families are the 3100 series vernier adjustable locking cable, the 4100 series heavy duty vernier cable in lengths to 25 feet, the 5200 and 6200 series universal mount cables, and the R38D and R38DR cables with 5 inch and 3 inch travel. Remote valve control cables are sold by inch length, 60 to 120 inches and beyond.
The collection also carries the mechanical end of the linkage: adjustable yoke ends in thread sizes from 1/4-28 NF to 3/4-16 NF, clevis rod ends with pin and cotter, forged rod ends and rod end bearings. This is the Buyers Products cables and controls sub-collection; the valves these cables operate are in hydraulics and pneumatics.
Shop cables and controls by type
Universal mount and vernier control cables
The 5200 and 6200 series are the standard push-pull cables for hoist valves and PTO shift levers, sold in fixed lengths with universal or clamp mounts. The 3100 and 4100 series add a vernier adjustment: a threaded knob that lets the operator make fine changes in position and lock the setting.
Remote valve control cables and spool valve controls
Remote valve control cables connect a cab-mounted lever to a spool valve on the body, and the remote spool valve control assemblies supply the lever end. The K80 series multi-function PTO and pump valve combines PTO engagement and pump control in one unit, and connection kits are listed for Energy CV50, CVP, CVA and 200 series valve controls.
Yoke ends, rod ends and clevis kits
Adjustable yoke ends are listed by thread (3/8-24 NF, 1/2-20 NF and so on) and thru-hole diameter, in plain and zinc plated finishes. Clevis kits come with pin and cotter pin, and rod end bearings with male thread or stud handle angular misalignment where a plain yoke will bind. Stainless steel core wire is stocked in 10 and 15 foot lengths, with or without a rod end control.
Booster cables and throttle cables
The battery booster cables here are 1-gauge, 7.5 foot battery-side sets with quick connect ends, installed permanently on plow and service trucks. Replacement throttle cables are listed for Mack and other heavy trucks.
Camera interface cables and air tubing
Buyers camera interface cables let its backup cameras display on the factory screen in Ram, Ford and GM trucks. DOT nylon air tubing is sold by diameter. Backup camera systems are in Buyers Products electrical.
Common applications
Dump trucks and dump trailers use a control cable between the cab lever and the hoist valve, with a second cable for the PTO on shaft-driven pumps. Fleet shops keep yoke ends and clevis kits on the shelf because a worn linkage end is the usual reason a hoist control goes vague or sticks.
Why buy Buyers Products cables and controls here
- Cables listed by series, length and travel. Titles state the series (3100, 4100, 5200, 6200, R38D, R38DR), the length in feet or inches and the travel.
- Thread sizes in the title. Yoke ends and rod ends list the NF thread and thru-hole diameter, and zinc plated versions are flagged.
- Ships across Canada in 7 to 10 business days from Winnipeg, in Canadian dollars.
Choosing the right control cable
Measure the old cable end to end, including the threaded ends, and note the travel (the distance the inner wire moves between full push and full pull; 3 inch and 5 inch are the common figures). Check the mounting style at both ends: universal bracket, clamp mount or a bulkhead fitting. Match the thread on the rod end to the valve spool or lever it attaches to. If you are not sure what fits, contact us with your year, make, model and configuration.
Common questions
How do I measure a control cable for a dump hoist?
Measure the overall length of the old cable from end fitting to end fitting, then note the travel and the mounting style at each end. If the old cable is missing, run a rope along the intended path and add a few inches for bends.
What is a vernier control cable?
A vernier control cable has a threaded adjusting knob at the cab end that lets you fine-tune the cable position and lock it. It is used where a throttle or valve must hold a partial setting.
Do you sell long jumper or booster cables?
The booster cables in this collection are 1-gauge, 7.5 foot battery-side sets with quick connect ends, meant to be installed on the truck rather than carried as consumer jumper cables.
