Reasons to Consider Custom Hydraulic Power Units for Your Company
A hydraulic power unit is a self-contained system that includes a motor, a fluid reservoir, and a pump. From food processing plants to military equipment, it serves a vital role in operating machines that require lifting, pushing or pulling. Unlike a standard pump, they use multi-stage pressurization networks to move fluid.
By getting a custom hydraulic power unit, you’ll have more control over the unit’s features according to what it’s powering. Here are some reasons you should consider a custom hydraulic power unit for your company:
- Motor Size
- Reservoir Shape
- Pressure Needs

Motor Size
Before talking about the motor size, let’s break down the main components found within a hydraulic power unit:
- Motor: The mechanical unit used to turn mechanical energy into hydraulic energy.
- Fluid Reservoir: Holds the hydraulic fluid used by the pump and displacement of the cylinders.
- Hydraulic Pump: Generates hydraulic flow and pressure capability to the system.
- Valving: Regulates the fluid direction and pressure needed to perform the hydraulic task at hand.
Reservoir Shape
Hydraulic power units can be built to have different shapes depending on the amount of floor space available to make them as efficient as possible. Having a custom shape also helps with access to things like plumbing and electrical connections. Another important advantage is that it prevents damage to your unit as it will have easy access to hydraulic components for repair and maintenance.
Maintenance
With an easily maintainable unit, you’ll have the ability to have reliable, steady power no matter what your working condition is. A custom unit allows you to choose the shape, size, and amount of horsepower you need as they’re a self-contained unit. Machine access points can be easily configured so that the technician has convenient access to filters, valves, and wiring.
