Hydraulic workshop at Franz Gottwald with technicians assembling and servicing components.

The hydraulics workshop
with expertise

Our hydraulic workshop is equipped with a comprehensive and modern machine park. We work independently of manufacturers to always find the right solution for you.

From A to Z — aggregates to cylinders

Repair and overhaul are just as much part of our workshop services as the conversion and modification of all hydraulic systems.

  • Hydraulic cylinders
  • Hydraulic motors
  • Hydraulic power units
  • Hydraulic pumps
  • Coolers
  • and much more

Fault analysis

We analyze and question every detail

Through many years of joint research and development, we have refined our fault analysis to a high level of expertise—something we take pride in. This specialized know-how is passed down from generation to generation within our hydraulics workshop.

Hydraulic hose assemblies

We inspect, replace, and document your hydraulic and pneumatic hose assemblies. Thanks to our in-house production, we are able to manufacture exactly the hose assemblies your systems require. This also includes optimizing existing lines. Final inspection and approval are carried out according to your specific requirements.

Mechanical manufacturing

In our workshop, we manufacture spare parts from a wide range of materials for the repair and maintenance of your machines and equipment. We perform turning, honing, milling, drilling, and sawing—both conventionally and using CNC technology.

Oil analysis

In our laboratory, we can carry out short-term trend analyses using microscopy upon request. This provides you with a quick assessment of the composition of your hydraulic oil. For example, we determine parameters such as water content and viscosity.

Custom solutions

Does your application require a custom solution? Then we are the right partner for you. We use our decades of experience and expertise to carry out piping, hose assembly, and modifications tailored to your requirements.

Controls and valves

Through the conversion, modification, and repair of your hydraulic control systems, we help ensure efficient, loss-free power transmission. Fully functional valves are essential for controlling performance and flow. That’s why we inspect them, seal them, adjust them, and recalibrate them as needed.

Customized bearing lubrication

What service life are you aiming for? We provide the ideal lubrication for your bearings. In our specialized department, we combine ungreased high-end bearings from leading manufacturers with the exact specialty lubricant best suited to your application. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of your bearings.

Workplace safety through trained personnel

Trained personnel make a significant contribution to improving workplace safety. Many accidents occur due to a lack of knowledge or inattention. Through training, your employees learn to correctly assess hazardous situations and act accordingly.

Training apprentices — building strong fundamentals

In day-to-day operations, there is often not enough time or personnel to thoroughly teach apprentices the essential fundamentals. Yet this knowledge forms the foundation for their future performance. Take the opportunity and have your apprentices professionally trained.

Tech Days — focus on what matters

Take the time to focus on a specific topic—this is exactly what our Tech Days offer. Explore a range of product-related, safety-focused, and industry-relevant presentations. Refresh your knowledge and stay up to date with the latest developments.
