Whether you’re planning a critical offshore operation or require immediate hydraulic power, our hydraulic power unit rental services deliver the high-performance solution you need. ORS Offshore Rental & Support specializes in HPU rental, providing certified hydraulic power units on-demand worldwide. With ORS’s hydraulic power unit rental, you benefit from expert maintenance, rapid mobilization, and flexible rental terms. Our HPU rental options ensure engineers and project managers secure reliable, technically precise equipment exactly when and where it’s needed, minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency.

What Is a Hydraulic Power Unit?

A hydraulic power unit (HPU) is a self-contained system that converts electrical or engine power into pressurized hydraulic fluid, driving cylinders, motors, and tooling. ORS’s electrically powered HPUs deliver up to 350 bar at flow rates up to 320 l/min, all housed in robust, ATEX-certified frames for safe operation in Zone 2 environments. These units support tasks from hot oil flushing to ring-main backup, ensuring reliable performance under the harshest offshore conditions.

When Do You Need an HPU Rental?

Whether your site needs a temporary boost in hydraulic capacity, a backup during scheduled maintenance, or rapid deployment for offshore interventions, renting an HPU avoids costly downtime and capital outlay. ORS’s HPU rental services deliver fully serviced, certified units straight to your location, ready for immediate operation on short-term projects, emergency replacements, or peak-load applications.

Why Rent an HPU Instead of Buying?

Purchasing hydraulic power units ties up capital, demands routine servicing, and risks obsolescence as technology advances. Renting an HPU from ORS Offshore Rental & Support transforms that six-figure capital expense into a predictable operating cost, eliminates maintenance and storage burdens, and provides the agility to match hydraulic capacity precisely to each project. You also gain access to ATEX-certified, DNV-approved units, ensuring compliance with the latest offshore safety standards without the risk of owning outdated equipment.

How to Choose the Right HPU for Your Project

Begin by assessing your required flow rate (l/min or GPM) and pressure output (bar or PSI). Decide between an electric HPU, ideal for noise-sensitive or onshore environments, and a diesel-driven unit for remote, off-grid sites. Factor in ATEX, DNV 2.7-1, and NORSOK certifications if you operate in hazardous or offshore zones.

Next, align these specifications with your application (whether hot oil flushing, pressure testing, or ring-main backup). Consider ambient temperature, altitude, and hydraulic fluid compatibility. ORS’s hydraulic specialists will help you select the optimal HPU configuration, ensuring seamless integration with your system and peak performance under the toughest conditions.
