Hydrapak MH Series Hydraulic Cooling Systems

The MH Series Hydrapak from Gardner Denver is the original hydraulic cooling system developed in 1983 as a smarter alternative to large, heavy, and inefficient reservoir-based designs. As the pioneer of integrated hydraulic oil cooling, Gardner Denver evolved the Hydrapak into the MH Series to deliver greater cooling capacity, reduced weight, and compact integration for modern transport applications.

 

  • System pressure capability up to 4,500 PSI
  • Integrated hydraulic oil reservoir, cooler, filter, and relief valve
  • Weighs less than ¼ of a standard reservoir system
  • Available 2.0, 4.0, and 4.4-gallon oil reservoir options
  • Heavy-duty stainless steel mainframe construction
  • Factory-set hydraulic motor-driven cooling fan
  • Highly efficient oil cooler for continuous duty operation
  • Designed to reduce environmental risk and oil spill potential

 

Designed to keep hydraulic circuits operating below recommended maximum temperatures, even in high ambient conditions.

Compared to traditional reservoir systems, the MH Series weighs less than one-quarter as much while maintaining strength, rigidity, and long-term reliability.

Original, Proven Design

The first hydraulic cooling system of its kind, developed in 1983 and continuously refined for transport applications.

Compact, Lightweight Construction

Significant weight and space savings improve payload capacity and simplify truck layouts.

Efficient Thermal Control

Keeps hydraulic systems within recommended operating temperatures, even under heavy load and high ambient heat.

Integrated System Architecture

Includes reservoir, cooler, return-line filtration, and relief protection in one pre-engineered package.

Durable Stainless-Steel Frame

Heavy-duty construction ensures long service life in demanding transport environments.

Environmentally Responsible

Reduced oil volume lowers carbon footprint and minimizes the impact of potential oil spills.

The MH Series Hydrapak is used across a wide range of hydraulic-driven transport and industrial applications, including:

  • Crude oil transport
  • LP gas transport and bobtails
  • Food-grade and chemical transport
  • Bulk feed trucks
  • Lube trucks
  • Maintenance and service trucks
  • Hydraulic winch drives
  • Utility equipment trucks
  • Agricultural equipment
  • Mining equipment
  • Water trucks
  • CO₂ delivery trucks
  • Vacuum trucks
  • Live floor trucks
