Question 1

What does Delta Hydraulics & Service do?

Accepted Answer

Delta Hydraulics rents, manufactures, repairs, and refurbishes hydraulic power units (HPUs) for industrial, oil & gas, construction, offshore, and R&D applications. The company has over 50 years of experience and is based in Pearland, Texas.

Question 2

Where are you located, and what areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Delta is headquartered in Pearland, Texas, and serves clients nationwide, with dedicated service area pages for Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, California, Oklahoma, and major cities including Houston, Beaumont, Lafayette, Birmingham, Mobile, Oklahoma City, and Tallahassee. Delta does not currently ship outside the continental U.S.

Question 3

What industries do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Construction, oil & gas, offshore, government and industrial enterprises, and engineering and research & development teams needing hydraulic power for prototypes and test beds.

Question 4

Do you work with government agencies?

Accepted Answer

Delta primarily engages on government-related projects as a subcontractor through engineering firms rather than directly, due to the complexity of government proposal requirements.

Question 5

What pressure ranges do your HPUs support?

Accepted Answer

Delta's units range from 250 PSI to 5,000 PSI, covering projects of nearly any scope or complexity.

Question 6

What flow outputs do your HPUs provide?

Accepted Answer

Delta's hydraulic power units support flow outputs from 10 GPM to 500 GPM.

Question 7

Do you offer electric HPUs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Electric units are available and have seen increased demand, particularly in California, where local emissions regulations favor electric over diesel equipment.

Question 8

Do you offer diesel-powered HPUs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Delta rents diesel HPUs, but sizes are limited because Delta mainly specializes in electric HPUs.

Question 9

Do you rent gasoline-powered HPUs?

Accepted Answer

No. Delta focuses on higher pressure and flow output, and gasoline engines are too limited in power for the rental fleet.

Question 10

Do you rent HPUs capable of 10,000 PSI output?

Accepted Answer

No. Units at that pressure are typically used for jacking systems.

Question 11

How does HPU rental work?

Accepted Answer

Units are available on-demand and shipped coast to coast. Delta tailors unit selection to your project based on size, pressure rating, and application. To receive a quote, you will need to provide a completed rental agreement, an email address for the renting company, the type of hydraulic oil you will use, and the address where the unit will be used. Modifications and special requests may take longer, so please allow extra time.

Question 12

What information is required to complete a rental agreement?

Accepted Answer

Delta requires a completed rental agreement including business name, billing address, and shipping destination before a unit is prepared for shipping. Once received, the unit is filled with the requested hydraulic oil, then cleaned, serviced, and tested before delivery. Units cannot be reserved or prepared for rental without this information.

Question 13

Is a deposit required?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Due to the cost of rentals, a non-refundable deposit is required to reserve and prepare a unit. The deposit includes the cost of the hydraulic oil and shipping to your location, and it is credited to your first month's rental invoice.

Question 14

How long can I rent a unit?

Accepted Answer

Units are rented by the month only. Longer rentals are available in monthly increments. There is no minimum project or rental value.

Question 15

What is included with a rental HPU?

Accepted Answer

Delta offers turnkey rentals that include hoses, a directional control valve, hydraulic oil, extra filtration, and various types of connection fittings.

Question 16

Is the customer responsible for oil cost?

Accepted Answer

Each customer has specific oil requirements based on their system, design, and geographic location. You can ship your own oil to Delta for testing and set up, or Delta can quote oil for you to purchase.

Question 17

What else can I rent besides HPUs?

Accepted Answer

Delta also rents flushing units and hydraulic components such as coolers, fuel tanks, flushing equipment, and valves. Delta does not rent particle counters, which are sensitive devices best purchased by the customer.

Question 18

What are the shipping costs and lead times?

Accepted Answer

Shipping cost and lead time depend on unit size, weight, destination, and delivery time. Each shipment is quoted individually.

Question 19

Do renters need to provide proof of insurance?

Accepted Answer

Question 20

What warranty coverage do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Rental units are guaranteed to work upon delivery and throughout the rental. Newly manufactured HPUs are guaranteed for one year. Individual components may carry their own warranty coverage.

Question 21

Do you offer set up and training for rental units?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On-site set up and training is a separate fee based on your location, the number of days, travel costs, hotel costs, service fees, and the number of technicians required.

Question 22

Are units available for outright purchase?

Accepted Answer

No. Delta does not sell its rental equipment. Delta does manufacture custom HPUs (see below).

Question 23

Do you build custom hydraulic power units?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Delta manufactures HPUs in-house, including custom builds for specialized applications. Lead time depends on parts availability and the complexity of the unit.

Question 24

Do you repair hydraulic systems

Accepted Answer

Delta repairs in house only. Delta does not offer field service repairs.

Question 25

Can you guarantee same-day or emergency repairs?

Accepted Answer

Not as a standing guarantee. Repair timing depends on parts and lead time, location, the extent of repairs needed, and accessibility. Contact Delta directly for current turnaround estimates.

Question 26

Do you rebuild pumps or motors, or sell hoses and fittings over the counter?

Accepted Answer

No. Delta does not perform field service, does not sell hoses or fittings retail, and does not rebuild pumps or motors.

Question 27

Do you offer flushing services?

Accepted Answer

Delta rents flushing units and standalone flushing equipment for hydraulic systems. Delta does not perform the flushing services.

Question 28

Do you offer consultation services?

Accepted Answer
