Take a look at some of our most popular resources about hydraulic system design, implementation, and operation for mobile machines.
For OEMs that build on-road and off-road mobile machinery, a hydrostatic transmission should be considered versus a standard gear transmission because of the seamless way speed ratios and torques can be achieved. A hydrostatic transmission is made up of a hydraulic pump connected (and dedicated) to one or more hydraulic

Most on-road and off-road mobile vehicles use a mechanical system boosted by hydraulic power for the mechanics of steering. The mechanical system is usually made up of a Rack-And-Pinion or Worm-And-Sector steering gear that is physically connected to a steering wheel. When the steering wheel is rotated, this mechanical system

At our Mobile Technology Center in Greensboro, NC, we’re able to receive your machine, develop a custom solution, and fully test all aspects of it before returning it to your team.
Our Technology Center allows us to design, construct, and implement hydraulic systems all in one place. Whatever your mobile vehicle system needs, we have the means and the expertise to make them a reality.
Concept to Completion
In-House or On-Site Testing
Custom Designed Systems
Vehicle Prototyping
Remote Integration and Testing
Different vehicles have different requirements. Whether we’re talking about massive earth-movers or a smaller vehicle, they both have one thing in common: a customized hydraulic system.
We make it a point to learn exactly how your mobile system functions and what its intended applications will look like. That way we can design a system optimized for it specifically.
That’s how our Mobile Systems Integration Group is able to create custom-designed and custom-built hydraulic systems for our customers. It’s also how we’re able to design and engineer hydraulic machine systems to completely satisfy the standards of a huge variety of industries.
That’s how we’re a hydraulic system design company that works for you and with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hydraulic system design, as the name implies, involves inspecting a machine and developing a hydraulic system to function optimally within the confines of that machine. This is accomplished through the selecting of properly sized components, analyzing standard operating pressure and flow rate, and sourcing the components to meet the specifications of both the design and the customer.
When designing a hydraulic system for a heavy work vehicle or other mobile application, the first step is to become familiar with the design of the machine itself. When working with vehicles and mobile machines, space is always at a premium. So it’s particularly important to correctly size and design components based on the space available. This allows us to create optimized custom hydraulic systems.
A hydraulic system is one which uses fluid power to drive machinery or move mechanical components. They are made up of hydraulic fluid, pumps, motors, cylinders, and “plumbing” components such as reservoirs, control valves, and accumulators. They also should be designed with system redundancies and fail-safes in the event of overheating, pressure loss, and fluid contamination
