Fluid Care
Fluid Care for Hydraulic Systems
Hydraulic fluid is a fundamentally necessary component of a hydraulic system. And keeping a hydraulic system in good working order means keeping that fluid clean, free of contaminants, and properly maintained. Proper fluid care is essential for optimal system performance and long-term reliability.
At Cross Company, we understand the critical role fluid care plays in the health of a hydraulic system. That’s why we offer comprehensive fluid care solutions designed to protect your machine, reduce downtime, and extend the life of your system.
With decades of experience in hydraulic systems and partnerships with industry-leading filtration and fluid care equipment providers, Cross can be your trusted partner in maintaining hydraulic fluid cleanliness and hydraulic system efficiency. Whether it’s filtration, de-aeration, water separation, or cooling, we can provide the expertise you need to keep your hydraulic system running smoothly.
Fluid Care Solutions from Cross
At Cross Company, we provide a wide range of fluid care solutions designed to meet the needs of your hydraulic system. Whether you need to maintain ISO cleanliness standards, optimize system performance, or prevent contamination, we can help. Some of our fluid care offerings include
Filtration Systems – Our filtration solutions are designed to efficiently remove contaminants from hydraulic fluid, ensuring that it meets (or exceeds) ISO cleanliness standards. We partner with industry-leading brands to be able to offer advanced filtration systems (including filter carts and inline filtration) within real-time monitoring of ISO cleanliness classes.
De-Aeration and Water Separation – Trapped water and air are common contaminants in hydraulic systems. With our de-aeration and water separation solutions, those contaminants can be removed, ensuring your hydraulic fluid remains in optimal condition.
Cooling – One of the leading causes of hydraulic fluid breakdown is overheating. But with properly-sized hydraulic oil coolers, oil can be prevented from overheating. This maintains viscosity and ensures proper lubrication, extending the life of your system and avoiding extended downtime. Properly sized hydraulic oil coolers also prevent oil from overheating and breaking down over time.
Why Hydraulic Fluid Care Matters
Contaminants like dirt, metal particles, water, and air can cause significant problems within hydraulic systems. Even small impurities can lead to an increase in wear, reduction in efficiency, and even premature system failure. Proper fluid care practices ensure that your hydraulic fluid stays clean, cool, and free of contaminants. This allows your system to consistently operate at peak performance.
Benefits of comprehensive fluid care include extended equipment life, improved system efficiency, and reduced downtime
Extended Equipment Life
Clean hydraulic fluid reduces the wear and tear on system components. This prevents the need for costly maintenance or replacements.
Improved System Efficiency
Contaminant-free hydraulic oil ensures smooth operation, reducing both energy consumption and operation costs.
Reduced Downtime
Performing fluid care proactively minimized the risk of surprise failures, keeping your equipment up and running consistently.

The Value of Comprehensive Fluid Care Services
If your work equipment relies on hydraulic systems, maintaining peak performance is a necessary component to ensuring operational success. Contaminated (or even poorly maintained) hydraulic fluid can cause many operational issues in both the short and long-term. These issues can include equipment inefficiencies, unexpected downtime, and even costly repairs.
However, by prioritizing fluid care, your equipment can be protected, system performance optimized, and machinery lifespan extended. Taking a proactive approach to fluid maintenance not only safeguards your operations but also ensures that your systems consistently deliver the performance your industry demands.
Proper fluid care is about more than just maintaining cleanliness. It’s about creating a foundation for long-term reliability and efficiency. With the right fluid care solutions in place, your hydraulic systems can operate at their full potential, helping you meet production goals and maintain a competitive edge.
