Hydraulic solutions

Hydraulic solutions for every industry since 1963.

We develop hydraulic solutions to innovate and improve the quality of our rams, increasing durability, reliability and power. This is why more OEM manufacturers are choosing to use Motus hydraulic cylinders in their machinery, as it stands for a mark of quality.

We have earned our reputation for power, performance and increased efficiency with minimal maintenance through decades of heavy-duty use in industries that rely on machinery to get the job done. The quality of our rams speaks for itself, as many rams we built decades ago are still in use today.

With a huge range of standard rams and our ability to design and manufacture rams to your specifications, we can develop a robust hydraulic solution for any piece of equipment or machinery. We can also work from your specifications or provide design services, advice and technical support. All our rams come with a fast turnaround and our four-year warranty.
