Hydraulic Power Units

Bardex’s custom designed and manufactured Hydraulic Power Units (HPU) are produced primarily for the offshore oil / gas and shipyard maritime industries. They are ruggedly constructed and designed for minimum maintenance and extended life while subjected to the harsh environments and continuous operation.

Whether it is used to power Bardex Hydraulic Load Handling Systems or equipment manufactured by others, any Bardex HPU will perform dependably.

If you would like to obtain information regarding the design and use of our HPUs for your project(s), please call us at (805) 964-7747 or Email Us.
