Twin Black Handled Control (70240)

Twin Black Handled Control

• Twin lever single function control.
• Detent locks FWD / NEU / REV.
• To Suit: Standard 3/16" / 30 Series or heavy duty 1/4" / 40 Series push pull control cables

Core Features

• Twin Levers:Two separate black-handled levers sit side-by-side on the control console or operator station.
• Single Function: Each individual lever performs only one mechanical task. For example, one lever governs engine throttle (RPM), while the other handles directional shifting or a hydraulic valve link.
• Detent Locks: The control mechanism "clicks" firmly into place at Forward, Neutral, and Reverse (or positive start, stop, and reverse) positions. This physical feedback prevents accidental movement or creeping due to machine vibration.

Cable Compatibility

The unit is engineered to connect to industry-standard push-pull mechanical control cables built for harsh environments:

• 30 Series (Standard): Fits standard 3/16" core cables (often called 33C industrial cables). These are ideal for medium-duty applications, short runs, and standard governor or valve linkages.
• 40 Series (Heavy Duty): Fits heavy-duty 1/4" core cables (often called 43C industrial cables). These are built for high-force loads, long routing paths, and demanding environments like construction or agricultural machinery.

Looking for a reliable, physical mechanical link to manage your heavy machinery? The Twin Black Handled Control from Industrial & Cable Group provides precise, independent dual-lever motion control. Assembled in Australia out of our state-of-the-art Sydney facility, this rugged twin lever single function control is engineered to thrive in heavy-duty sectors like transport, mining, agriculture, and construction.

Whether you need to replace an existing Morse-type system or specify a brand new setup, our controls offer the uncompromising durability that Australian operators demand.

Built for Demanding Industrial Applications

Because each black-handled lever functions independently, this unit offers maximum flexibility across mechanical applications:

• Earthmoving & Construction Equipment: Perfect for hydrostatic drives where one lever governs concrete pump speed or engine RPM, and the second shifts system direction.
• Agricultural Machinery: Allows operators to control a tractor or harvester’s engine throttle alongside independent PTO (Power Take-Off) engagement.
• Fixed Power Plants & Compressors: Safely lock in generator governor settings or clutch engagement zones with confidence.

The Industrial & Cable Group Advantage

At Industrial & Cable Group, we combine rapid online order fulfilment across Australia and New Zealand with deep mechanical expertise. Working alongside our engineering sister company, Multiflex Australia, we supply fully compatible high-performance push-pull cables, ball joints, clevises, and rod ends directly to your workshop floor. 

Stop dealing with loose linkages and unresponsive controls. Equip your machinery with high-precision control units assembled right here in Australia. [1, 2]

Product FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the difference between a single-function twin lever and a dual-function control?

A single-function twin lever dedicates one isolated mechanical task to each separate handle (e.g., Left handle for gear, Right handle for throttle). A dual-function control operates both shifting and engine RPM sequentially using just one single handle.

Can I use this control unit with existing Morse or Teleflex cables?

Yes. This unit is built to universally fit standard industry-standard push-pull cables. It natively accepts standard 30 Series (3/16" core / 33C style) and 40 Series (1/4" core / 43C style) cables from most global manufacturers.

Why are detent locks important for industrial machinery?

The mechanical detent locks provide a distinct physical "click" sensation when passing through Forward, Neutral, and Reverse. This internal lock keeps the handles firmly in place, preventing heavy engine or engine-bay vibrations from slowly creeping or slipping the machine out of its intended operational speed or gear.

Where are these control units dispatched from?

All orders are processed, assembled, and dispatched directly from the Industrial & Cable Group specialized facility in Sydney, NSW. We offer rapid freight and delivery networks across all states in Australia and New Zealand.
