Welcome to Birmingham, Alabama and Hydra-Power Systems
As a central hub for one of the nation’s most active industrial corridors, Birmingham serves an expansive manufacturing base in the Southeast. Driven by decades of steady growth in steel processing, automotive assembly, heavy construction, and agriculture, Alabama has emerged as a premier industrial producer in the South. Within this thriving OEM equipment sector, the machinery engineered and serviced locally requires high-performance hydraulic and pneumatic systems. These systems must withstand rigorous operational demands—including extreme temperatures and high cycle counts—to ensure maximum productivity and prevent costly, unplanned downtime.
Hydra-Power Systems established its Birmingham facility to bring the full scope of our fluid power capabilities directly to the Southeast market. Our Birmingham location is ISO 9001:2015 certified, our team brings deep application knowledge across mobile, industrial, and OEM hydraulics, and our warehouse is stocked and ready for same-day shipment on thousands of components. Whether you’re a production OEM building equipment in Alabama, a maintenance operation keeping heavy machinery running, or an engineering team developing a custom fluid power system from scratch, Hydra-Power Systems in Birmingham is your local resource for components, engineering support, and custom fabrication.
What We Do From Birmingham
Mobile Hydraulic System Solutions
Mobile equipment OEMs across the Southeast rely on Hydra-Power Systems for the pumps, valves, electronic controls, cylinders, and motors that move their machines. We supply the full range of components that drive mobile hydraulic functions — from variable displacement piston pumps and directional control valves to CAN bus electronic control systems and the cylinders and motors that put hydraulic power to work at the point of motion.
As mobile equipment manufacturers adopt increasingly sophisticated electrohydraulic architectures, our Birmingham team helps Southeast OEMs specify and integrate the latest pump, valve, and control technology into their machines. This is the core of the OEM relationship we build in the region: a single source for the components that make mobile equipment move, backed by engineering support that understands how those components work together as a system.
Custom Manifold Distribution
While our custom manifolds are engineered and manufactured at our Portland, Oregon Build Center, the Birmingham team brings that manufacturing capability directly to Southeast customers. We work with OEMs and equipment builders in Alabama and the surrounding region to specify, source, and deliver custom integrated circuit hydraulic manifolds built in Portland — giving Southeast customers access to the same manifold engineering and production expertise as our Pacific Northwest customers, without sacrificing the local relationship and support of a Birmingham-based team.
Vendor Partner Distribution
Hydra-Power Systems is a preferred distributor for many of the fluid power industry’s most trusted manufacturers, and our Birmingham warehouse keeps their products in stock and ready for same-day shipment across the Southeast. Sun Hydraulics anchors our distribution line card, supported by HydraForce, Dynaset, Schroeder, Continental, Casappa, HAWE Hydraulik, and LHY Powertrain.
Whether you need cartridge valves, hydraulic filtration, power generation equipment, piston pumps, or powertrain components, our Birmingham team can match the right product from our partner brands to your application — and back it with the technical knowledge to make sure it performs once it’s installed.

Hydraulic Power Units
The Birmingham team designs and assembles hydraulic power units across a wide horsepower range for mobile and stationary applications. HPUs are assembled to customer specifications, integrating pump, motor, reservoir, filtration, heat exchange, and control valve components into a complete, tested power supply ready for installation.
Applications range from compact self-contained HPUs for specialized mobile functions to larger stationary units for industrial machinery, test stands, and process equipment.
Power Take-Off Solutions
Through our PTO Specialties division, Hydra-Power Systems supports truck-mounted and work vehicle applications across the Southeast. We stock and support a broad range of PTO configurations, working with customers on selection, installation, and integration with the downstream hydraulic system. For utility, vocational, and service vehicle operators in Alabama and surrounding states, PTO Specialties is a one-call resource for PTO selection and system integration.
Electric Hybrid Solutions
As the mobile equipment industry moves toward electrification, Hydra-Power Systems supports customers developing electric hybrid hydraulic systems — integrating electric motor-driven pump configurations, energy recovery strategies, and the electronic control systems that manage them. Our engineering team works with customers at the system design level to develop hybrid architectures that meet duty cycle, weight, and efficiency requirements.
Serving the Southeast
The Birmingham facility is Hydra-Power Systems’ Southeast operations hub, positioned to serve customers across Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, and the broader Southeast with the full scope of our distribution, manufacturing, and engineering capabilities.
Birmingham’s location — at the intersection of I-20, I-59, and I-65, with access to rail corridors linking the Southeast to Gulf ports and Midwest industrial centers — means we can reach customers across the region efficiently and ship nationally when needed. For customers in the Southeast who have historically had to source specialized fluid power components from distant suppliers with extended lead times, Hydra-Power Systems’ Birmingham inventory and engineering depth changes that equation.
Key industries we serve from Birmingham include:
OEM Equipment Manufacturing — Southeast OEMs building mobile, industrial, and specialty equipment find in Hydra-Power Systems a supplier capable of supporting both the engineering development phase and the production supply chain. From prototype builds requiring close engineering collaboration to production runs requiring consistent component supply and quality documentation, we structure our support around the OEM’s workflow. Our target production range — 10 to 500 machines — aligns directly with the scale of Southeast OEM operations.
Utility and Vocational Vehicles — Utility trucks, aerial lift vehicles, service bodies, and specialized work vehicles operating throughout the Southeast rely on hydraulic systems for their functional equipment. Through our PTO Specialties division and hydraulic component distribution, Hydra-Power Systems supports both the upfit and the ongoing maintenance supply chain for these vehicles.
Construction and Infrastructure — The Southeast’s sustained growth in residential, commercial, and infrastructure construction keeps contractors and equipment rental operations running a steady inventory of heavy equipment. Excavators, cranes, compactors, and utility equipment all depend on hydraulic systems that perform reliably under high utilization. Our same-day shipping capability and technical support are built for the timeline demands of construction operations where a machine sitting idle costs real money.
