Your Trusted Source for Hydraulic Components in Melbourne
Hydraulics Network was founded in 2005 by Chris Kennedy as a specialist supplier of hydraulic cylinders. Over two decades, we have evolved into a leading provider of high-quality hydraulic components sourced from major global manufacturers. Our Melbourne-based head office relocated to a purpose-built facility in Epping in 2020, enabling expanded inventory and improved service reliability. We operate branches in Brisbane, with new locations opening in Sydney and Perth in 2025, supported by a nationwide network of authorised distributors. In 2024, we joined the Motion and Genuine Parts Company Asia Pacific group, leveraging their century-long industrial heritage and access to over 10 million parts globally. Our acquisition of Melbourne-based Hydraulics International in 2022 enhanced our product range and technical expertise.With a customer-centric approach, we design innovative solutions to meet current and future industry demands, backed by strategic partnerships with European, Italian, and Australian manufacturers. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our 2-year warranty on Australian-made cylinders and adherence to international standards. As part of Motion Asia Pacific's integrated network of 210+ locations, we deliver unmatched access to hydraulic components, supported by 31 workshops and 12 distribution centres across the region. Our team combines local knowledge with global resources to provide tailored solutions for diverse industrial applications.
