Hydraulics Online System Expertise: Independent supplier offering technical advice, direct equivalents and global hydraulic brand access
Hydraulics Online is an independent, award‑winning hydraulic supplier and engineering specialist supporting customers in more than 130 countries.
Founded in 2004, we set out to provide a genuine alternative to the product‑led and brand‑restricted distributors that dominated the industry. From the beginning, Hydraulics Online has been customer‑focused, technically driven, and completely brand‑agnostic – allowing us to recommend the most suitable hydraulic solution rather than the most convenient product line.
Today, Hydraulics Online is recognised globally for its technical knowledge, hydraulic system design expertise and ability to support complex and time‑critical engineering challenges. We supply hydraulic components from more than 80 leading brands and supply our own Hydraulics Online cylinders, motors, power packs and pumps. This combination of independence and in‑house capability enables us to support both standard and highly specialised applications in industries such as aerospace, marine, materials handling, manufacturing, film production and research.
Customers also rely on us to source obsolete or discontinued hydraulic components, cross‑reference legacy parts to modern equivalents and replace original manufacturer items with off‑the‑shelf solutions that require minimal re‑engineering. Our independence gives us real agility – supplying equipment needed urgently is part of our everyday work.
Hydraulics Online is the only official Export Champion in the UK hydraulics sector. Our service has received multiple awards for customer satisfaction, international trade excellence and engineering innovation. We supply hydraulic components, custom‑made cylinders, bespoke hydraulic systems and complete power units worldwide with full export documentation and technical support.
Our own product range includes cylinders, motors, power packs and pumps. We also design complete hydraulic systems for OEM machinery and specialist applications, supported by real‑world engineering experience showcased in our Hydraulics Online case studies.
Whether you need a standard component, a custom hydraulic cylinder, a modern replacement for an obsolete part or a complete hydraulic system, our independent expertise ensures you receive the most suitable solution for your application.
