HPUs Custom-Built For Your Machine
Every machine is different, and so are its hydraulic power needs. That’s why we take a customized approach to HPU design and build. Our team of engineers will work closely with you to understand the job requirements, flow rates, pressures, and contamination sensitivity of your machine. Then, we design and build a hydraulic power unit optimized for your specific application. This ensures both reliable performance and long-term durability.
At Cross, we leverage our expertise to design a hydraulic power unit that’s optimal for your application. That means our hydraulic power units can be shaped and sized to fit the specific needs of your machine. We also take into account the job environment, noise ordinances, and any other factors that may impact successful, continuous operation. This approach allows us to improve efficiency, enhance reliability, and even reduce costs through design optimization.
Whether you’re working with limited space, need a standalone unit, or require a ruggedized, mobile-rated system we’ll deliver a solution that’s built to perform.

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

Frequently Asked Questions
The main components of a hydraulic power unit (HPU) are the pump, reservoir, and motor. The pump generates the hydraulic flow, the reservoir stores and maintains the hydraulic fluid, and the motor powers the pump to create the necessary pressure for the system.
To size a hydraulic power unit, you can use the formula:
Power (kW) = (Flow rate (l/min) * Pressure (bar)) / 600
This calculation ensures the HPU is capable of meeting the flow and pressure requirements of your application.
Filtration is critical in hydraulic power units because contamination is one of the leading causes of hydraulic system failure. Advanced filtration systems help maintain fluid cleanliness, reduce maintenance needs, and ensure long-term reliability and efficiency of the HPU.
