Dowty Hydraulics

The 0PL series was the smallest of the Dowty gear pump ranges, designed for compact hydraulic systems and low‑flow applications.

Typical features:

• Lightweight aluminium construction

• Compact footprint

• Suitable for small agricultural and mobile machinery

Hydraulics Online can supply modern equivalents that match original 0PL performance and mounting details.

The Dowty 1PL series was widely used in agricultural equipment, compact construction machinery and industrial systems requiring moderate flow and pressure capability.

Key characteristics:

• Reliable external gear design

• Multiple displacement options

• Commonly used by OEMs across Europe

Direct replacements are available with matching shaft, port and mounting configurations.

The 2PL series offered higher flow rates and was used in more demanding mobile and industrial applications.

Typical applications:

• Tractors and harvesters

• Construction machinery

• Industrial hydraulic power units

Modern equivalents provide the same performance envelope with improved efficiency and durability.

The 3PL series was the largest of the Dowty gear pump families, designed for high‑flow, high‑duty hydraulic circuits.

Common uses:

• Heavy agricultural machinery

• Industrial presses and power units

• High‑demand mobile hydraulic systems

Hydraulics Online can supply direct replacements that maintain original flow, pressure and mounting specifications.

Although Dowty Hydraulics products are no longer produced, modern equivalents are available for all PL‑series pumps and motors. These replacements are designed to match:

• Displacement

• Shaft type

• Porting

• Mounting pattern

• Rotation direction

This ensures seamless integration into existing systems without redesign.

No. Dowty hydraulic gear pumps and motors are no longer produced, but modern, fully compatible replacements are available.

The PL‑series was the core Dowty range, including 0PL, 1PL, 2PL and 3PL gear pumps. These units remain widely used in older machinery.

Yes. Modern equivalents are designed to match original Dowty specifications, including displacement, shaft type, porting, mounting pattern and rotation.

Dowty pumps were widely fitted to agricultural equipment, compact construction machinery, industrial power units, material‑handling systems and specialist OEM machinery.

Yes. We can identify any Dowty unit from a part number, label, photograph or application details.

Yes. Hydraulics Online supplies modern Dowty equivalents globally with full export documentation and technical support.

Yes. Although Dowty motors are no longer manufactured, modern replacements are available that match original performance and mounting details.

We can still help. Provide photos, dimensions, port details or information about the machine it is fitted to, and we will identify a suitable equivalent.
