Who Is Flint Hydraulics? A Technical Look at Hydraquip’s OEM Hydraulic Capabilities

By Grayson McAlister January 26, 2026

Hydraulic systems are the mechanisms that keep the world moving—from excavators building critical infrastructure to heavy equipment operating in rugged, high-demand environments. These machines rely on expertly engineered hydraulic systems that demand complete reliability, precision, and responsive technical support. Flint Hydraulics, a division of Hydraquip, Inc., plays a critical role in supporting these systems by delivering OEM-aligned hydraulic solutions backed by deep technical expertise, expansive inventory, and rapid fulfillment capabilities.

A Dedicated Hydraulic Solutions Division of Hydraquip

Flint Hydraulics operates as a specialized division within Hydraquip, Inc., combining the scale and reach of a national hydraulic distributor with the technical precision of an engineering-driven hydraulic solutions provider. Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, Flint Hydraulics extends Hydraquip’s capabilities by supporting customers worldwide through both OEM replacement solutions and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services.

Together, Hydraquip and Flint Hydraulics share a unified mission: deliver dependable, OEM-quality hydraulic solutions that reduce downtime and maximize equipment performance. Rather than functioning as a traditional parts supplier, Flint Hydraulics serves as an extension of Hydraquip’s technical team—supporting everything from individual component replacements to complex hydraulic system redesigns.

OEM-Focused Portfolios for Specialized Hydraulic Systems

Hydraulic systems are defined by the precise interaction of high-performance components operating under extreme pressure. To support these demanding applications, Flint Hydraulics—within the Hydraquip organization—offers a comprehensive portfolio of OEM replacement hydraulic components designed to meet exact equipment specifications.

As an authorized build center for leading manufacturers such as Danfoss, Poclain, and Geartek, Flint Hydraulics assembles and configures components to match OEM requirements rather than forcing customers into one-size-fits-all solutions. This capability supports both hydraulic and electro-hydraulic systems, enabling seamless integration of electric motors and electronic controls alongside fluid power technologies.

Hydraulic Pumps and Motors Built to OEM Specifications

Hydraulic pumps and motors are the foundation of fluid power systems, generating and converting energy into controlled mechanical motion. Through Hydraquip’s Flint Hydraulics division, customers gain access to OEM replacement pumps and motors engineered for performance, durability, and exact fit.

Supported OEM brands include:

All components are assembled, tested, and validated to ensure factory-quality performance and long-term reliability.

Hydraulics are essential components in heavy machinery capabilities.

Hose, Fittings, and Couplings for Demanding Applications

Beyond pumps and motors, Flint Hydraulics supports critical system components such as hydraulic hoses, fittings, and couplings. These elements are designed to withstand high pressures, extreme temperatures, and continuous-duty industrial environments—ensuring system integrity across mobile and industrial equipment.

Valves and Hydraulic Control Components

Precise control is essential for hydraulic system performance. Flint Hydraulics provides a wide range of hydraulic valves and control components that regulate pressure, flow, and directional control within hydraulic circuits. These solutions help customers improve system efficiency, responsiveness, and operational safety across OEM and retrofit applications.

Beyond Parts: Value-Added Services Within Hydraquip

One of the strongest advantages of Flint Hydraulics is its integration within the broader Hydraquip organization. Extensive inventory and coordinated logistics enable same-day or next-day shipping for many OEM replacement components—helping customers minimize costly downtime.

Flint Hydraulics also supports in-house repair, remanufacturing, and testing services, including detailed inspections and failure analysis. Remanufacturing OEM components offers customers a cost-effective alternative without sacrificing performance or reliability.

For advanced requirements, Flint Hydraulics leverages Hydraquip’s engineering expertise to provide hydraulic system design, optimization, and integration support, including advanced electronic control platforms such as Danfoss PLUS+1®. This ensures responsive, automated hydraulic systems tailored to modern equipment demands.

Why Choose Flint Hydraulics Within Hydraquip?

What sets Flint Hydraulics apart is not separation—but integration. As a Hydraquip division, Flint delivers OEM-focused parts, engineering expertise, and value-added services through a single, unified partner. This approach reduces complexity, shortens lead times, and ensures customers receive complete hydraulic solutions—not just components.
