Hydraulic Copmonents

We stock essential components to keep your hydraulic systems running efficiently.

  • Couplers for quick, secure hose connections.

  • Filters to keep hydraulic fluid clean and systems protected.

  • Gauges for accurate pressure monitoring.

  • Flow Dividers for splitting or combining fluid flow precisely.

  • Power Steering parts to maintain responsive and reliable steering systems.
  • And More....

Hose and Fittings

We supply a wide range of durable hoses and precision fittings to handle various pressure requirements and fluid types.

  • Brake and Clutch Hoses deliver reliable pressure transfer for critical vehicle systems.

  • High Pressure Hoses are built for tough hydraulic environments.

  • Diesel Lines safely transport fuel in high-demand applications.

PTO Units

Power Take-Off (PTO) units transfer mechanical power from an engine—usually from trucks or industrial equipment—to auxiliary components like hydraulic pumps. They allow equipment to perform hydraulic functions without separate engines or motors.

Power PACs

Power PACs are self-contained hydraulic power units that consist of a motor, pump, reservoir, and valves. They supply hydraulic power to machinery and are used when an onboard hydraulic system isn’t available or practical.

Cylinders

Hydraulic cylinders convert fluid power into linear motion and force. Used in lifting, pushing, or pulling applications, they are a core part of most construction and mining equipment, delivering controlled, powerful movement.

Orbitals

Orbitrols (also known as hydraulic steering control units) are used in off-road and heavy-duty vehicles. They provide smooth, reliable steering by regulating hydraulic flow to steering cylinders, even under tough operating conditions.

Directional Control Valves

These valves manage the flow path of hydraulic fluid within a system. They determine where the fluid goes, allowing for functions like extending or retracting a cylinder, or starting and stopping a motor. Essential for controlling movement in hydraulic machinery.

Valve banks control the direction, pressure, and flow of hydraulic fluid.

  • Cartridge Valves are compact, versatile, and easy to replace, used for flow and pressure regulation.

  • Servo Valves offer precise control for advanced hydraulic systems, ideal for applications requiring accuracy and responsiveness.

Hydraulic motors convert fluid power into
mechanical rotation.

  • Gear Motors are compact and cost-effective, ideal for steady-speed applications.

  • Orbitrol Motors (orbital motors) are known for high torque at low speeds, commonly used in steering and drive systems.

  • Vane Motors provide smooth motion and are excellent for moderate-speed, medium-torque tasks.

  • Piston Motors are built for heavy loads and high-performance needs, offering efficiency and control under extreme conditions.

Pumps

Hydraulic pumps convert mechanical power into hydraulic energy.

  • Gear Pumps are simple, durable, and ideal for high-pressure applications.

  • Vane Pumps offer quiet, smooth operation with consistent flow rates.

  • Piston Pumps handle high pressures and variable flows, making them perfect for demanding, heavy-duty systems.
