Fluid Power Supply Chain Solutions

Yarl Hydracentre has expanded to accommodate a new development in fluid power component and service supply from our Barrow facility. Over the last two years we have been assisting a major defence contractor in the development of a fluid power system assembly. As a direct result of the successful development, we were awarded the contract to supply the kit of parts representing the fluid power elements of this design. The new contract involves supplying 1,000 units of pump and pipe assemblies over 20 months with the first units delivered in August 2012. At our Barrow facility we have invested in a new production area which has been developed for the inspection, cleaning and testing of component kits. This new production area is designed to accommodate a range of low to medium volume part kitting processes for fluid power components and component assemblies. Our success in securing this contract is a direct result of our ability to provide customers with fluid power technical advice, our knowledge of the fluid power supply chain and our professional approach to problem solving. During the development stage of the project, we offered advice on the fluid system design, presented alternative components for appraisal and designed test rigs for the development and extensive test phases of the project. The Yarl Hydracentre capabilities extend to component rationalisation, sub assembly design and manufacture, providing customers with well engineered hydraulic and pneumatic solutions tested and presented, ready for delivery directly to the customer’s production facility.
