Contacting Hydraulics Online was an absolute revelation – Ship Superintendent
Praise was recently given to our team by a London-based yacht management and charter company. Ian, our technical sales engineer, went to great lengths to help source and deliver a replacement Parker tandem pump for the main engine reduction gearbox on their vessel “Adeline” – the customer took delivery within 24 hours of getting in touch.
And when Royal Caribbean’s ship ‘Brilliance of the Sea’ found itself in urgent need of an obscure electrical connector for a Parker Denison Gold Cup pump, they reached out to a number of existing suppliers with their technical drawings and specifications. The average lead time of 10 weeks that they had been given was simply not acceptable and so they contacted Hydraulics Online.
Once again, we pulled out all the stops to help and managed to get the lead-time down to just 1 week. Royal Caribbean Cruises was delighted with the news and the part was quickly expedited to the Chief Engineer based at the vessel’s port agent in Amsterdam.
Yacht and Ship Management
We serve a wide range of customers within this sector. Hydraulic pumps and motors, including: Denison Gold Cup series pumps and Eaton Vickers vane pumps, Italgroup radial piston motors (winch motors), hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic power packs, hydraulic lever control valves and complete hydraulic systems – are just some examples of the hydraulic equipment and solutions that we regularly supply to boat yards and yacht management companies… from UK and Ireland to Singapore, Florida, Gibraltar and beyond.
Subsea Cabling
Our service portfolio includes hydraulic innovations and product supply for the subsea cabling industry.
One of our multinational cabling customers, describes finding Hydraulics Online as “an absolute revelation”. Based on a minimal part description and some photos, we sourced a suitable part – and at a keen, competitive price. On the back of that experience, Hydraulics Online became one of their approved suppliers.
Harbour and Marina Management

We are renowned for our tenacious approach to sourcing elusive and even obsolete hydraulic equipment. In the event that we’re unable to source the identical part, our expert team will specify suitable alternatives that will perform equally well.
Offshore
We understand the challenges you face can be exacerbated by the remoteness and inaccessability of certain locations, driving additional cost implications of any system failure down time. If it’s hydraulic – we can source it, design it and repair it! Fast. Contact our helpful team today on +44(0)845 644 3640.
