Custom Hydraulic Solutions for Civil & Mining Construction

Custom Hydraulic Solutions for Construction Equipment: Why Custom Fluidpower is the Right Partner

In Australia’s construction industry – whether it’s civil works, mining projects, or major infrastructure builds – equipment downtime or inefficiency can cost businesses thousands in lost productivity. The real challenge? As a country, we import all our construction equipment, which means if you need parts, servicing, or modifications, you’re often limited to what the original distributor can offer.

At Custom Fluidpower, we take a different approach. We’re a nationwide, independent hydraulic solutions specialist, with the capability to provide custom hydraulic solutions and optimise hydraulic equipment for both civil and mining construction businesses. Whether you’re operating excavators, drill rigs, cranes, or specialised construction vehicles, we can help you get more out of your machines – often at a fraction of the cost of replacing them.

Nationwide Reach, Consistent Service

We understand that construction companies often have equipment operating across multiple sites, sometimes in remote locations. With nationwide coverage and consistent service standards, we ensure your machines get the right attention – no matter where the job site is.

Unlike OEM distributors, who are bound to sell their own branded parts, we have the flexibility to select the best, most compatible hydraulic products for your needs. This means you get a custom hydraulic solution that’s right for your equipment and application, not just the one that’s most profitable for a supplier.

Custom Modifications: Beyond What OEMs Offer

When you need your equipment to do something no other machine on the market does, OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) are rarely set up to make those one-off changes. Their focus is on standardised production, not specialised custom builds.

At Custom Fluidpower, custom modifications are our specialty. We can design and install hydraulic attachments and add-ons that transform your equipment’s capabilities – whether it’s adapting a drill rig for a new type of job, adding unique attachments to an excavator, or improving load-handling efficiency.

Distributors won’t modify one-off machines, but we will – and we’ve helped countless clients adapt existing machines for faster, safer, and more efficient performance.

Aftermarket Upgrades and Attachments

Construction, agricultural and mining sites evolve constantly, and so do equipment requirements. Instead of buying new machinery – which often still requires modifications – you can achieve significant savings by upgrading or modifying your existing fleet. One of our clients approached us to modify a scraper, so that the unit could be operated by the same tractor but manipulated to perform a broader range of duties across a development site. Our expert hydraulics team partnered with the customer from beginning to end, to provide the perfect custom hydraulic solution not only for this project, but one that now broadens the scope of work they can take on beyond.

  • A custom function that OEMs won’t provide
  • An upgrade to existing machines instead of replacing them

  • Nationwide service and support from a team that understands the construction environment
