Services
Hydraulic Design
Our RPEQ-certified engineers create custom hydraulic systems using finite element analysis and international standards. We focus on safety factors, flow dynamics, and durability for applications in mining, water infrastructure, and defense. Designs include detailed engineering calculations and compliance with AS 1100.201-1992 and ISO 4413:1998 standards.
Hydraulic Manufacturing
We manufacture ISO 6022-compliant cylinders, power units, and actuators in our Brisbane workshop. Using CNC machining and precision welding, we produce components for harsh environments. Our quality-controlled processes ensure leak-proof systems and compatibility with mining, marine, and industrial applications.
Hydraulic Installation
Our team implements hydraulic systems with documented safety protocols and quality inspections. We provide on-site machining, stainless steel fitting installation, and flaring systems for sensitive environments. Services include commissioning, operator training, and compliance with statutory requirements for public infrastructure projects.
Hydraulic Repair
We offer comprehensive repair services for cylinders, pumps, and hydraulic systems. Our process includes inspection reporting, component restoration, and safety testing. Using in-house manufacturing capabilities, we replace damaged parts quickly while maintaining system integrity and performance standards.
Hydraulic Maintenance
Our maintenance programs prevent system failures through regular inspections and fluid analysis. We measure component wear, replace seals, and test safety factors to 4:1 ratios. Services include contamination control, filter changes, and performance optimization for Queensland's harsh operating conditions.
