David Brown used to be known as Hamworthy Hydraulics before the company was rebranded to Hydreco in 2013. If that all sounds confusing, the good news is that if you’re looking for David Brown hydraulics, we can help!
The company manufactured hydraulic products servicing the transport and mobile hydraulics sector. The product range was designed for maximum torque, the highest reliability and ease of installation, and today includes helical gear and spur gear pumps; lifting winches; monobloc valves, selector valves, sectional valves and unloader valves; crane slewing drives and crane winch drives; hydraulic pilot controls/pilot valves; single lever control, dual axis control and foot pedal controls.
David Brown products earned a reputation for durability, reliability and long service life, particularly in demanding environments such as construction machinery, mining equipment, refuse vehicles, marine systems and agricultural machinery. Many of these machines are still operating today, creating ongoing demand for compatible replacement components.
Hydraulics Online supports customers who need to maintain or repair equipment originally fitted with David Brown Hydraulics components. We can identify legacy units, cross‑reference them to current Hydreco equivalents and supply suitable alternatives from other leading hydraulic manufacturers when required.
A small selection of products is shown on our website, but we can supply a much broader range of Hydreco replacements for David Brown pumps, motors, valves and control systems.
