Hydraulic oil is used in many sectors including land, air and marine transport, electrical and machine tools, robots, brake systems and heavy machinery. Biodegradable hydraulic oils are increasingly being used in environmentally sensitive areas such as river and sea beds or wind farm installations.

The wide diversity of hydraulic systems has led to the development of an increasingly large range of lubricants and fluids.

We have many formulations available to suit even the most demanding applications. ISO 6743/4 'Classification of hydraulic fluids' identifies no less than 15 different categories for hydraulic oils that are intended to cover every possible type of industrial hydraulic system available.

Gannon Oils' own range of Premium Hydraulic Oils, 'Alden', are manufactured from highly refined paraffinic mineral oils combined with low temperature flow improvers and incorporating an advanced additive system to meet the requirements of the major international specifications providing outstanding performance in hydraulic power transmission and control systems.
