    The HCU35 hydraulic conditioning unit installs on truck frame rails and on agricultural equipment.

    The HCU35 hydraulic conditioning unit installs on truck frame rails and on agricultural equipment to serve attached implements or a separate machine. It is engineered to condition and cool the oil for applications such as food and chemical transport, crude oil transport, vacuum pumps, combo drives, and bulk feed trucks. In addition to cooling hydraulic oil, it stores and filters the oil, eliminating the need for large reservoirs that store excess oil. This results in a considerable weight saving to the vehicle, translating to better fuel efficiency.
