Custom Hydraulic Power Packs and Systems Design
Since day one, we’ve partnered with businesses of all sizes, from ambitious start-ups to Fortune 500 giants, delivering tailored hydraulic solutions with the same dedication, expertise, and customer-first approach.
Our independence means we’re not tied to specific brands, allowing us to design custom hydraulic power packs that meet exact specifications without compromise. Whether it’s optimising performance, integrating advanced controls, or ensuring seamless system compatibility, we work with integrity and sometimes behind the scenes on projects that remain confidential forever.
One project we can talk about, however, is Concorde—three times over! We’ve designed and supplied hydraulic systems for the ‘droop nose’ restoration on: Concorde G-AXDN – Imperial War Museum, Duxford ; Concorde G-BBDG – Brooklands Museum, Surrey and Concorde G-BOAC – Manchester Airport Runway Visitor Park
Bringing life back to these iconic aircraft has been an absolute honour, allowing visitors to experience their engineering brilliance for generations to come. Being trusted to support the restoration of such legendary pieces of aviation history reflects our commitment to precision, expertise, and integrity – values that define everything we do.

What is a hydraulic power pack and how does it work?
A hydraulic power pack is a self-contained unit that supplies power to a hydraulic system, enabling controlled movement and force application. It consists of:
- Prime mover (pump drive) – Converts mechanical energy into hydraulic power.
- Hydraulic pump – Generates flow and pressure to drive system components.
- Reservoir – Stores hydraulic fluid, ensuring consistent operation.
- Hydraulic controls – Regulate pressure, flow, and direction for precise system performance.
Hydraulic power packs are designed to perform multiple operations with varying forces and speeds, powering hydraulic motors, cylinders, and actuators in both rotary and linear applications.
Several factors influence a hydraulic power unit’s performance, including pressure limits, power capacity, reservoir volume, and physical characteristics such as size, power supply, and pump efficiency.
Here are some of the most common questions we receive about hydraulic power packs and system design:
“Because Hydraulics Online is independent and not tied to any one manufacturer, I know that they are giving us the best solution and the best product for that solution.”
“I’m more than happy to order this hydraulic power pack with you, as the other five have been perfect for their various applications. Could I please have it under the order number ‘4041’.”
“… It’s been a great success: more power, speed and a quieter running system.”
