Solving Obsolescence: Introducing the Plug‑and‑Play MK09 Upgrade for Sakai Rollers
What’s the challenge?
Sakai Rollers originally equipped with the Poclain MK08 motor now face a compatibility crisis, the MK08 is officially obsolete and no longer available from Poclain. As machine downtime and parts availability become increasingly critical, owners and operators of legacy Sakai units require a solution that restores operational continuity without requiring major structural rework.
Our engineered solution
To address this growing issue, our engineering team worked in close partnership with one of our leading customers to develop a practical, efficient retrofit strategy. The result: a custom MK09 adapter kit, designed to allow the Poclain MK09 motor to be installed on machines originally fitted with the MK08 with minimal modifications.
This adapter kit is pre-assembled prior to dispatch, ensuring that end users can complete installation on-site with maximum efficiency and minimal disruption.
Why the MK09?
The Poclain MK09 was selected by the OEM as the closest direct replacement to the MK08. In fact, the MK09 is already utilised in newer Sakai Roller models, making it a trusted and proven component within the same application space.
MK09 Performance Highlights:
-
Displacement range: 667–1000 cc
-
Power output: Up to 30 kW
-
Maximum pressure: 400 bar
- Compact design suited for confined mounting spaces
-
Peak theoretical torque: Up to 6,370 N·m
Key benefits of our MK09 conversion kit:
-
Minimal modifications required – adapter kit maintains alignment and integration
-
Pre-assembled kit – reduces installation time and labour costs
-
Maintains machine uptime – eliminates long delays due to obsolete parts
-
Future-proofs your fleet – leverages current-generation hydraulic motor technology
Ready to upgrade?
If your Sakai Roller still relies on the MK08 motor, now is the time to act. Our retrofit solution not only replaces the obsolete unitit enhances operational longevity and simplifies maintenance going forward.
