Hydraulic Power Units, Pumps, Valves & Motors

Hydraulic Power Units

EMPH Nautical Solutions designs and manufactures hydraulic power units to deliver reliable, efficient performance across a wide range of marine applications. From sailing yachts to workboats, our systems are engineered to provide consistent hydraulic power for critical onboard functions.

We offer a range of solutions tailored to each vessel, including PTO-driven systems for engine-powered operation, DC power units for battery-based installations, and AC systems for shore power or generator supply. Each unit is designed with careful consideration of space constraints, duty cycles, and overall system efficiency.

Our power units are built using high-quality components and marine-grade materials to ensure durability in harsh environments. With a focus on clean layouts, serviceability, and quiet operation, we deliver systems that integrate seamlessly and perform reliably over the long term.

Whether for new builds or retrofits, EMPH Nautical Solutions provides hydraulic power solutions that are robust, efficient, and purpose-built for life at sea.

DC Power Packs

Traditional DC Electric Motor & Pump Sets

EMPH Nautical Solutions supplies proven DC electric motor and pump sets designed to deliver reliable hydraulic power for a wide range of marine and mobile applications. These systems remain one of the most widely used solutions for onboard hydraulics, offering a simple, robust, and cost-effective method of generating pressure where AC power or engine-driven options are not available.

DC motor pump sets are particularly well suited to battery-powered systems on yachts and workboats, providing straightforward integration with onboard electrical systems. With fixed-speed operation and well-established control methods, they offer dependable performance for essential functions such as swim platforms, sail handling systems, steering auxiliaries, and deck equipment.

Built using marine-grade components and engineered for durability, these systems are designed to withstand harsh operating conditions while maintaining consistent hydraulic output. Their simplicity also makes them easy to service, troubleshoot, and maintain, making them a trusted choice for reliable onboard hydraulics.

EMPH Nautical Solutions’ DC pump sets deliver a balance of performance, affordability, and proven technology—making them a dependable backbone for many marine hydraulic systems.
