Hydraulic Solutions for Manufacturing

Hydraulic Supply Company provides hydraulic services for OEM manufacturers and production plants: custom power unit builds, bar-coded hose kits, tube bending, and fabrication to print, backed by repair and 24/7 on-site service.

Call (800) 507-9651

Machine builders need more from a hydraulics supplier than parts on a shelf. They need components that arrive ready for the line, built to print, and on schedule. HSC supports hydraulic manufacturing with dedicated inventory, production assembly, build programs, and kitting, so OEMs can source hydraulic systems and subassemblies from one partner instead of managing a dozen vendors.

Our approach combines hydraulic service and manufacturing support under one team. Our engineering team helps with everything from component selection to full system design, and our fabrication shops turn those designs into tested power units, hose and tube assemblies, and custom components.

For plants running production equipment, the same branches provide while-you-wait hose assemblies, component repair, and 24/7 on-site service when a line goes down. Shop 70,000+ products online with same-day shipping on orders placed before 2 PM EST.

Power Unit Builds

Custom Hydraulic Power Units for OEMs and Production Equipment

A hydraulic power unit is the heart of most hydraulic system manufacturing, and few OEMs want to build them in-house. HSC builds custom and modified power units to your flow, pressure, and reservoir requirements, with the valving and controls your circuit calls for, including electro-hydraulic and proportional control integration. Every build is assembled and tested before it ships. Learn more about our HPU Build Program.

For standard needs, HSC also stocks AC and DC hydraulic power units and every component needed to build one, including pumps, motors, reservoirs, manifolds, valves, and filtration.

Common Applications

Power units for presses and forming machines

Repeat HPU builds for OEM equipment lines

Retrofitting proportional controls on existing units

Compact AC and DC units for lifts and fixtures

Replacement power units for aging plant equipment

Production Assembly

Hydraulics Assembly for Manufacturing Lines

On a production line, a missing hose stops the build. HSC's hose kitting services bundle the hoses and components for each machine or assembly into a single kit, bar coded and labeled for easy identification and inspected in-house before it ships. Kits can follow your build sheets, include subassemblies, and use special labeling to match your inventory system.

HSC also builds hydraulic and industrial hose assemblies to print in production quantities, using hose, fittings, and hydraulic adapters from stock.

Common Applications

Machine-specific hose kits delivered to the line

Bar-coded kits matched to OEM build sheets

Production runs of hose assemblies built to print

Subassemblies combining hose, adapters, and valves

Kits for field-service and spare-parts programs

Fabrication to Print

Custom Hydraulic Components Manufacturing and Fabrication

When a standard part will not fit the design, HSC's custom hydraulic components fabrication lets you specify a component by function instead of part number. Builds combine machining, welding, hose and tube fabrication, modification, assembly, and testing under one team, from a single pump shaft change to custom cylinder configurations and manifold and valve assemblies.

Tube bending services form hydraulic tubing assemblies to exacting tolerances on an electronically controlled bender, and cut and weld work covers custom-length and welded components.

Common Applications

Custom cylinder bore, stroke, and mounting configurations

Manifold and valve assemblies built to print

Bent tube assemblies for machine frames

Cut-and-weld components for custom routings

Modified pumps and motors for OEM applications

Plant Maintenance

Hydraulic Repair and Maintenance for Manufacturing Plants

Unplanned downtime on a press or production line costs far more than the part that failed. HSC's hydraulic repair and service team repairs, reconditions, and overhauls cylinders, motors, pumps, valves, and power units, and our 24/7 on-site service brings the repair to equipment that cannot be pulled from the line.

For day-to-day upkeep, HSC stocks hydraulic filters, hydraulic valves, and replacement components, and plants that run their own hose shops can keep crimpers in service through our crimper maintenance program.

Common Applications

Cylinder and pump rebuilds for presses and forming machines

Emergency on-site repair when a line goes down

Power unit overhauls on aging plant equipment

Filter and valve replacement during scheduled shutdowns

Crimper upkeep for in-plant hose shops

Frequently Asked Questions: Hydraulic Solutions for Manufacturing

Does Hydraulic Supply Company manufacture hydraulic components?

HSC is a distributor that also fabricates. We stock components from leading hydraulic manufacturers and build custom assemblies in-house, including hydraulic power units, custom cylinder configurations, manifold and valve assemblies, and hose and tube assemblies built to print. For OEMs, that means one partner for both stock parts and custom builds.

What hydraulic services does HSC offer OEM manufacturers?

HSC supports OEMs with dedicated inventory, production hose assemblies, bar-coded hose kits, custom power unit builds, tube bending, cut-and-weld fabrication, and engineering support from component selection to full system design.

What is hose kitting?

Hose kitting bundles every hose and component needed for one machine or assembly into a single labeled kit. Kits arrive ready for the production line, which cuts picking time, reduces build errors, and simplifies inventory. HSC's kits are bar coded, labeled, and inspected in-house, and can follow your build sheets.

Can HSC build a custom hydraulic power unit?

Yes. HSC builds custom and modified hydraulic power units to your flow, pressure, and reservoir requirements, with the valving and controls your circuit needs, and tests every unit before it ships. For standard applications, AC and DC power units are also available from stock.

What do you need to quote a custom hydraulic assembly?

A print or written specification is the best starting point. For power units, include flow, pressure, duty cycle, reservoir size, power source, and control requirements. For hose and tube assemblies, include lengths, fitting ends, routing, and quantities. HSC's engineering team can help fill in anything that is not yet defined.
