In the snow and ice control field, innovation is the middle name of Muncie Power Products. At Muncie, the family of MP2 advantage system products for snow and ice control make use of an innovative and patented technology so as to connect the working elements in the hydraulic system with the command center. The hydraulic functions like plow, dump, spreader, wings etc., are not controlled by a series of wires. What this system uses is a special multiplex function for all of the functions, eliminating the need for any wiring going between the valves and control. This is referred to as MCN technology and it is similar to a computer network where a single cable connects a number of computers and printers.
