Trusted Hydraulic Engineering Services in Cullompton
Established in 1979, we have dedicated ourselves to delivering engineering excellence in the haulage sector. Our journey began as a mobile engineering service catering to bulk feed haulage, evolving into a comprehensive one-stop-shop for commercial vehicle solutions under new leadership in 1992. With our headquarters in Cullompton, Devon, we combine mobile technicians and workshop facilities to provide round-the-clock support for articulated and non-articulated HGVs across the South and West of England.Our expertise spans hydraulics, pneumatics, bulk haulage systems, and bespoke truck modifications, serving industries from animal feed distribution to waste management. We prioritise minimising vehicle downtime through rapid component replacement, competitive pricing, and a commitment to solving complex engineering challenges with innovative solutions. Jon Sage, who has led the business since 2008, continues to drive our mission of combining traditional values with forward-thinking engineering practices.

Services
Hydraulics
Our team specialises in hydraulic equipment application, repair, and servicing for commercial vehicles. We install 'wet kits' on new tractor units and provide bespoke components to expedite vehicle deployment. Our engineers excel at creating workaround solutions for obsolete parts, enabling older equipment to remain operational and cost-effective while offering scheduled maintenance and replacement parts.
Pneumatics
We service large bore mobile pneumatic systems for bulk material delivery. Our expertise covers pneumatic circuits for tankers, drain jetters, and dust extraction units. Engineers work efficiently to restore system functionality, specialising in mobile pneumatic applications ranging from pellet delivery to industrial dust control systems.
Truck Modifications
We design and implement custom truck modifications including combination tanks, hydraulic wet kits, and body conversions. Our process involves understanding operational requirements, creating detailed specifications, and hand-building solutions to meet exact client needs while ensuring compliance with industry standards and safety regulations.
Bulk Haulage Systems
We maintain and repair onboard weighing systems and delivery technology for bulk materials transport. Our services include rapid component replacement, routine maintenance, and installation of automatic sheeting systems. We address both urgent breakdowns and planned upgrades for quarrying, waste management, and logistics operations.
Bespoke Fabrication
We create tailored engineering solutions for commercial vehicles including walkways, storage systems, and conversion projects. Our fabrication services address unique operational challenges, combining mechanical expertise with precision manufacturing to enhance vehicle functionality and safety compliance.
