Smiths Industries hydraulics traces its roots back to 1851 with the sale of precision watches. By the first half of the 20th century, Smiths dominated the supply of instruments to British motorcar and motorcycle firms.

Today the Smiths Group plc is a British multinational engineering business. The headquarters resides in London and the company operates in over 50 countries worldwide.

After dominating the British motorcar and motorcycle instrument market, separate Smiths Aviation and Smiths Marine divisions started operating in 1958 and in 1960. In addition, an Industrial division formed, whose main operations were in industrial instrumentation.

With increasing diversification and international operations the name Smiths Industries Ltd was adopted in 1967. By this time, the company’s product range now spanned: automotive, aerospace, marine, building and medical appliances, to name but a few.

The company’s name was changed to Smiths Group plc in November 2000, following the completion of a merger with the TI Group the following month.

Smiths Mk3D Power Packs

One of Smiths Industries most popular power packs was the Mk3D. It had been designed specifically for tipping applications and was used for commercial vehicle lifting and tilting mechanisms.

During 2002, Smiths withdrew from the hydraulics market, leaving customers with no ongoing access to their products. After that, a number of other manufacturers, including Pro-E-Con and the former Fludlink Hydraulics, stepped in to fill the space and demand left behind to effectively become Smiths Industries hydraulic power pack manufacturers in their own right.

As a result, Smiths power packs are still employed in numerous applications today, thanks to the production of modern-day replacements. Common applications include: specialist vehicles, tippers and trailers, mobility lifts, waste recycling machinery to name but a few.
