Hydraulic Case Studies
At Hydraulics Online, our hydraulic engineers work with hydraulic manufacturers, hydraulic distributors and other key hydraulic engineering companies from all over the world to help our customers with: hydraulic engineering projects, hydraulic systems design, sourcing hydraulic equipment and hydraulic components, hydraulic repairs and solving any other hydraulic problems and challenges that come along!
The following case studies provide a snapshot of how we have worked with some of our customers:

The Customer: Alternative Energy Power Company
The Task: Hydraulics Online were approached as the customer’s previous hydraulic supplier had failed to meet expectations. The customer supplied outline requirements and asked Hydraulics Online to propose a brand new hydraulic power pack / hydraulic power unit system.
The Solution: A bespoke hydraulic power pack / hydraulic power unit system was designed, specified and built with many modifications to the original, inherited specification...

The Customer: Key Production Plant to the Brewery Industry.

The Customer: Commercial Vehicles Repairer
The Task: The customer contacted Hydraulics Online with a reference number for an obsolete Smiths Industries Mk3 hydraulic power pack / hydraulic power unit. A vehicle was off the road and a direct replacement was needed “off the shelf”.
The Solution: Our engineer specified an identical, replacement hydraulic power pack / hydraulic power unit which was then built in our workshop and despatched to our customer the same day, thus minimising downti...
The Customer: Compactor Manufacturer
The Task: Hydraulics Online were consulted to help simplify and redesign an existing hydraulic circuit with the specific objectives of increasing reliability whilst reducing purchasing costs.

The Customer: Bespoke Construction and Engineering Company
The Task: Hydraulics Online were asked to design and supply a complete hydraulic system for use in a disabled household to open and close loft and office access doors hydraulically.
The Solution: A suitable hydraulic system was designed, built and supplied with a complete hydraulic power pack / hydraulic power unit including all relevant hydraulic hoses and fittings. The hydraulic power pack is now installed and working on a daily b...
The Customer: Shredding and Data Disposal Company
The Task: Again, following a search on the internet, Hydraulics Online were contacted to design and supply an efficient hydraulic system to run a mobile compactor and crusher.
The Solution: Hydraulics Online proposed a hydraulic system using Intermot radial piston motors. The vehicle was delivered to Hydraulics Online’s premises and our hydraulic engineer installed the PTO driven power source and hydraulic control valves. A second vehicle ha...
The Customer: Household Name Distribution Company
The Task: Hydraulics Online were asked to identify an unmarked hydraulic power pack /hydraulic power unit and to specify a new, more efficient and cost-effective solution
The Solution: Hydraulics Online successfully submitted their proposed specification and quotation. The hydraulic power packs / hydraulic power units were subsequently built and delivered within the customer’s required shutdown/maintenance period and all are now installed an...
The Customer: Drilling Industry and Oil Exploration Equipment Design and Manufacturer
The Task: Hydraulics Online were contacted by this new customer and asked to provide a quick, competitive quote for 2 replacement Vickers hydraulic pumps.
The Solution: A quote was submitted, the Vickers hydraulic pumps being available from stock. The customer raised their first purchase order and the Vickers hydraulic pumps were despatched the following day.
The Customer: Edinburgh University
The Task: To provide a hydraulic solution (as a concrete testing machine) for destruction tests within the construction industry.
The Solution: Hydraulics Online specified, designed and built a suitable high-pressure hydraulic power pack / hydraulic power unit including actuators which was then supplied to the customer within tight time and budget constraints.

The Customer: Offshore Fishing Vessel
The Task: The customer’s trawler was stranded, unable to operate and therefore earn revenue. Hydraulics Online were approached to supply an alternative hydraulic equipment to a competitor’s product which was on a long lead time.
The Solution: Hydraulics Online sourced an “off the shelf” equivalent item which was then flown into UK within 48 hours, thus minimising the loss in revenue to the customer. No major re-engineering was required.



The Customer: Household Name in Frozen Food Manufacturing
The Task: Three Continental PVR50 hydraulic vane pumps had failed on main production lines and were beyond economical repair. New hydraulic pumps were required urgently to restore production.
The Solution: Hydraulics Online were able to source and import the hydraulic vane pumps within a 48 hour period. They were then delivered to site the same day, enabling downtime on the production line to be kept to a minimum.
