Renting Hydraulic Power Units

Hydraulic power units (HPUs) are the backbone of many industrial operations, delivering the force needed to run machinery and systems efficiently. For many businesses, the real question isn’t whether an HPU is necessary—it’s how to get the power you need without tying capital or committing to long-term ownership. 

Renting a hydraulic power unit can often be the smartest choice because it offers flexibility, reliability, and support tailored to your project. From temporary high-demand operations to backup power solutions, Delta Hydraulics provides rental HPUs designed to meet the challenges and demands of industrial projects.

The Benefits of Renting a Hydraulic Power Unit

Renting an HPU is a strategic solution that can save time, reduce costs, and simplify your operations. Here’s why more companies are choosing rentals over ownership:

1. Cost-Effective for Short-Term Needs

If you only need an HPU for a limited time or an occasional project, renting can save you money. There’s no need for a large upfront investment, and rental terms are flexible to match your project schedule. You gain access to high-quality equipment only when you need it, without the burden of storage, maintenance, or depreciation. 

Real-world example: Delta Hydraulics has supplied HPUs for tunnel-boring projects where extra power was needed temporarily. We saved those companies from investing in expensive, permanent equipment that would sit unused once the project was complete.

2. Reduced Investment Risk

With rental HPUs, maintenance and repairs are handled by the rental company directly, which means avoiding unexpected expenses and operational disruptions. Renting an HPU leaves you with more bandwidth for your project, knowing that the equipment is reliable and ready for use.

Every Delta HPU is cleaned, tested, and calibrated before delivery to make sure it meets the exact power requirements of your operation. If an issue arises, our 24-hour service line guarantees immediate support so your downtime is minimal. 

3. No Storage or Compliance Headaches

Rented HPUs don’t take up space in your facility, and the rental company typically handles storage, arranges transportation, and meets regulatory compliance. With a simpler operation and fewer logistics, your team can focus on project execution rather than equipment management.

We arrange delivery directly to your project site, including off-site or remote locations. Transportation is billed separately, but once the unit arrives, your team can put it to work immediately without worrying about its reliability, storage, or compliance.

4. Flexibility and Scalability

Projects change, and so do equipment needs. Rental programs make it easy to switch models or scale up your fleet based on project demands. The result? You get access to the latest technology without long-term commitments.

Examples of Rental Flexibility:

  • Providing backup HPUs during critical project timelines to prevent delays
  • Supplying units during construction delays while waiting for newly manufactured equipment
  • Powering high-pressure tests or temporary simulations for special operations.

With Delta, you get access to the latest technology and the right equipment configurations without long-term commitments.

5. Expert Support & Consultation

Renting doesn’t mean going it alone. Delta Hydraulics offers full technical support and consultation so you get the right unit for your needs. Our technicians guide you through selecting HPUs, hoses, valves, and coolers for maximum efficiency.

On-the-Ground Examples:

  • We’ve rented HPUs for flushing industrial systems to keep equipment operating at top performance and cleanliness levels
  • Our team helps determine the best unit for specific pressures or project configurations
  • Immediate troubleshooting and replacement are available if an HPU encounters issues on-site

This combination of high-quality equipment and expert support ensures your operations run smoothly and avoid costly downtime.
