Choosing the right hydraulic power units for your application is critical for making sure your system continues to run safely, cost-effectively, and efficiently. We offer a variety of different power units here at Dalton Hydraulic, and we want to make sure you find the right one for your application.

Power Units: How to Choose the Right One for Your Application

Whether you are looking for a power unit for a lift table, industrial machinery, or dump trailer, here are some factors to consider:

  • Start by considering what you need your system to do. For example, if you are trying to power mobile equipment, you may need a compact power unit for intermittent use. If you are powering industrial machinery, you may need a larger unit that can handle continuous operation.
  • We offer a wide range of power units with different pressure ratings and flow rates. Consider how the flow rate will impact how fast your cylinder moves and how much force you need available to power your machine.
  • You also need to consider your power source. We offer power units with 12V or 24V DC motors, as well as 110V, 220V, or 460V AC motors, ideal for use in shops or industrial environments.
  • We offer power units in both vertical and horizontal mount styles, with a variety of port options. Check your available space and connection requirements before making a selection.
