Equipment manufacturers face rising pressure — to increase sales, improve margins, and meet escalating customer demands.
Hydrolec delivers a competitive advantage: precision-designed hydraulic power units that avoid the Assumption Trap and deliver the optimal balance of cost, performance, and serviceability — every time.
Avoid the Assumption Trap
Don’t Settle. Don’t Guess.
Too often, equipment manufacturers default to a legacy playbook: using a single “standard spec”, assuming inhouse manufacturing is always cheaper, and keeping suppliers at arm’s length.
That’s the Assumption Trap — and it creates lost opportunity:
-
Install teams forced to retrofit in the field
-
Service calls triggered by misfit units
-
Lost sales to high-value customers with unique specs
What looks like simplicity is actually a slow, steady drain on performance, margins, and customer satisfaction.
Sky's The Limit
Be Curious. Create Opportunity.
Are you caught in the Assumption Trap?
-
Have you ever lost a deal — or been disqualified — because you couldn’t meet a large customer’s spec?
-
When did you last analyze in-house production - factoring in today’s labor, rework, or engineering load?
-
Are you using the same power unit spec across multiple equipment types — even if the applications are different?
-
Are service calls or warranty claims traced back to power unit misalignment?
-
When’s the last time you re-evaluated the cost–performance–serviceability balance of our HPU strategy?
Precision Hydraulic Power
Stop Compromising. Start Engineering Advantage.
Stop assuming tradeoffs are inevitable. Stop making power unit decisions without a clear view of margin and revenue impact.
Today’s equipment manufacturers need more than a functional spec — they need solutions that balance cost, performance, and serviceability without compromise.
That’s what Hydrolec delivers.
And we don’t just build it — we back it.
Every solution comes with Hydrolec’s world-class support: fast lead times, responsive support, guarantees and warranties.
Our Precision-Driven Process Includes:
Collaborative design workshops with both design and manufacturing specialists
Industry frameworks & benchmarks built from 40 years of waste equipment experience
Technical trade-off analysis to dial in the right-fit solution — for now and the future
More Than a Supplier.
A Strategic Partner.
Hydrolec was founded in 1985 by engineer and entrepreneur Kim Kawasaki, with a clear vision:
“Build it right. Back it fully. And always put the customer first.”
That mindset still drives us today — now under second-generation leadership from Natasha Kawasaki.
As we mark our 40th year as a privately held, profitable manufacturer, our commitment is stronger than ever: To help equipment manufacturers build better machines, win more business, and serve their customers without limits.
Unlike PE-backed suppliers chasing short-term margins, Hydrolec is focused on real customer success — no red tape, no compromises, and no artificial constraints.
Because when you work with Hydrolec, you’re not just buying a power unit.
You’re gaining a strategic partner who’s built their business around yours.
