Leaders in hydraulic manufacturing
At K&R Hydraulics, we don’t just repair; we create.
As a leader in hydraulic manufacturing, our commitment to innovation and excellence is reflected in our ongoing investment in the latest equipment and technology. This allows us to turn complex challenges into robust, high-performance hydraulic solutions designed for longevity and peak operation.


Our world-class manufacturing, machining and fabrication facilities located in Thornton, NSW, are the foundation of our ability to manufacture components and complete systems for hydraulic equipment.
We are not just manufacturers; we are problem solvers, specialising in custom, one-off and bespoke equipment components and systems. We provide our manufacturing services Australia-wide.
Our Hydraulic Manufacturing Capabilities
K&R Hydraulics combines decades of engineering expertise with state of the art technology to offer a full range of hydraulic manufacturing services.
From concept to finished product we specialise in manufacturing unique, one off and custom hydraulic components. This includes hydraulic cylinders, power units, manifolds and complex assemblies to your exact specifications and operational demands. We can design and build solutions to remove intrinsic faults or improve existing system performance.
Our in house machining and fabrication capabilities allow us to produce components to the tightest tolerances. This includes CNC machining of hydraulic manifolds, precision boring and honing of cylinder barrels, rod manufacturing, and fabrication of hydraulic reservoirs, bases and structural components to exacting tolerances.
Our experienced engineering team can design complete hydraulic circuits and systems from the ground up to ensure optimal functionality, efficiency and reliability for your application. We use advanced CAD/CAM software to visualise and optimise designs before manufacturing.
When original components are obsolete, unavailable or poorly designed our reverse engineering expertise allows us to measure, analyse and recreate critical hydraulic parts often with design improvements to enhance durability and performance.
Whether you need a single prototype for testing or a small batch of custom hydraulic assemblies we provide agile and high quality bespoke production services to meet your unique requirements without compromise.
We don’t just manufacture individual components we also assemble complete hydraulic systems and power units and test them to ensure all manufactured parts work together seamlessly and meet specified performance parameters under simulated operating conditions.
Every component and system is subject to strict quality control checks to meet industry standards. We ensure traceability and compliance so you can have peace of mind in the integrity and reliability of our products.
