AC/DC Hydraulic Power Unit
A hydraulic power unit (HPU) is the heart of any hydraulic system — generating and controlling fluid pressure to deliver the force your equipment demands. Whether powered by AC mains or DC battery systems, the right HPU ensures smooth, reliable operation for your specific application.
At Central Hydraulics Inc., we make it easy to find the ideal AC/DC power unit designed for your equipment and operating environment — from stationary car lifts to mobile dump trailers.
AC vs. DC Hydraulic Power Units
AC Power Units – For Car Lifts and Stationary Equipment
Our AC hydraulic power units are built for continuous-duty, high-capacity applications such as automotive car lifts, shop presses, and industrial machinery. Designed to connect to standard 110V, 230V, or 460V power, these units deliver consistent performance and high flow rates for equipment that operates in a fixed location.
DC Power Units – For Single-Function Mobile Applications
Our DC power units are engineered for single-function operations like dump trailers, lift gates, and utility equipment. Compact and efficient, they’re powered by 12V or 24V DC sources, making them perfect for mobile or remote systems that need strong, short-duration power output.
