20L & 40L Oil Cooler

Our innovative oil cooler system offers a multitude of holistic benefits. It delivers up to 200kg weight savings compared to conventional bulk oil systems, resulting in reduced system weight, therefore increased payload capacity. Its compact footprint is ideal for trucks with limited space, and it eliminates the need to split a tank, ensuring maximum fuel capacity. In the event of a hose or component failure, there is significantly less oil to cleanup and can be swiftly repaired and refilled by most hose repair vans. This is crucial for time-sensitive payloads, such as asphalt trucks. Additionally, it ensures consistent unloading times due to its hydraulic efficiency, even as oil heats up. With superior cooling efficiency and a compact design, it stands out as the market’s top choice. It’s low-noise, corrosion-resistant and offers versatile fitment options for different makes and models, making it the ultimate solution for your vehicle.

Rubber Drive Guards

At Melbourne Hydraulics, we offer heavy duty rubber guards for trucks. Depending on make and model, the rubber guard kit comes complete with an upgraded rear light bar, support brackets, guard poles, stainless steel rear quarter sections, mudflaps with anti-sail brackets and front guard assembly. Our products are meticulously painted in 2k to match the chassis colour all finished with a durable 3-ply rubber.

Heavy Haulage Guards

Our heavy haulage guards feature polished chequer plates, offering operators greater access as needed, including the ability to walk on the guards. The kit includes a rubber rear quarter section with cable support, front mudflaps and guard poles. An optional upgraded heavy-duty light bar is fitted as requested. The kits are tailored to different makes and models, ensuring a comprehensive solution for your specific requirements.

Painting & Powder Coating

At Melbourne Hydraulics, we provide powder coating and painting options to streamline your truck build-up process. Please contact us for more detailed information.

Wood Grain Panel

Specially customised to complement Kenworth vehicles, we offer wood grain panels designed for specific models. These panels are available as an option with our hydraulic setup or can be purchased separately.

2 Channel Radio Remote

One of the most sought-after additions to a semi tipper hydraulic system is our 2-channel radio remote. At Melbourne Hydraulics, we install the Scanreco G5 system, a reliable wireless communication solution. With a guaranteed range of 100 meters, our radio remote allows you to effortlessly control the hoist from outside the cabin. This not only enhances convenience but also prevents dust and grain from entering the truck, making it a standout choice for efficient and clean operation. If you require expanded functionality on the remote, we offer larger remote options that can be programmed to meet your specific needs.

Dangerous Goods

We can complete a Dangerous Goods fit-out which includes non-essential isolation, alternator isolation, emergency stop switch, RedArc roll-over protection and OEM switching in the cabin. If required we can provide Safe-2-Load Pass certification, including a dangerous goods interior fit out (comprising of an eye wash, fire extinguisher, emergency card, intrinsically safe torch, and diamond placard). Our services also include a comprehensive inspection of all wiring to rectify any non-compliant items, ensuring your vehicle meets the SLP requirements.
