The construction industry operates some of the most demanding hydraulic equipment in the world. From excavators and bulldozers to cranes and concrete pumps, hydraulics in construction power the heavy machinery that builds our infrastructure. These systems face extreme conditions high loads, temperature variations, contamination exposure, and continuous operation cycles that push components to their limits. Reliable hydraulic performance isn’t just about productivity, it’s about safety, operational efficiency, and minimizing costly downtime on job sites.
At DURAfilter, we understand the unique challenges facing hydraulic construction equipment operators and maintenance teams. For over 30 years, we’ve supplied industrial-grade hydraulic components and filtration solutions engineered to withstand the harsh realities of construction environments. Our comprehensive range of products including filter elements, accumulators, pumps, motors, valves, and cylinders keeps construction equipment operating reliably, even in the toughest conditions.

Core Products for Construction Equipment
Industrial Filter Elements
Advanced filtration media engineered to handle high contamination loads typical of construction environments. Our filters protect expensive pumps, valves, and actuators from the accelerated wear caused by dust, dirt, and debris exposure. Available in various micron ratings and configurations to match specific equipment requirements.
Hydraulic Accumulators
Essential for shock absorption in excavators operating on rough terrain, energy storage in lifting applications, and pressure stabilization in mobile equipment. We supply bladder, piston, and diaphragm accumulators designed for the demanding duty cycles of construction machinery.
Pumps and Motors
Heavy-duty hydraulic pumps and motors engineered for continuous operation under high loads. These components power excavation systems, propel drive systems, and operate auxiliary equipment across your construction fleet. Available for various equipment brands and applications.
Directional Control Valves
Precision control valves that direct hydraulic flow to multiple actuators in excavators, loaders, and other multi-function construction equipment. Our valve solutions provide reliable operation even in contaminated environments where valve sticking can cause costly downtime.
Repair and Overhaul Services
Professional repair services for hydraulic pumps, motors, and accumulators extend equipment life and restore performance to original specifications. Our experienced technicians understand construction equipment hydraulics and provide quality repairs that minimize downtime.
