At Melbourne Hydraulics, we prioritise reliability and performance. That’s why we use high-pressure gear pumps in our installations. These gear pumps are known for their exceptional reliability, ensuring faster and more consistent unloading times. We exclusively utilise high-quality products, employing standard gear pumps that guarantee both reliability and performance. However, if your specific needs call for it, we can also fit piston pumps. Piston pumps are capable of handling greater system pressure and deliver consistent and guaranteed flow due to their high tolerance.
