With extensive engineering expertise in motion and control systems, we select the most suitable and where possible innovative components for our customers across the UK and worldwide.  Typically, but not limited to, high-quality hydraulic component OEMs we use are: Parker Hannifin, Eaton / Danfoss Power Source (formerly Vickers) and Bosch Rexroth, depending on your specification.

PPE works best when you use it to supplement higher-level control measures or when no other safety measures are available. Before relying on PPE, conduct a risk assessment to see what higher-level control measures are available.

We can provide a full range of hydraulic power units, typically these are bespoke, designed for industrial applications and agreed on to your requirements. We use the latest version of SolidWorks to provide 2D and 3D layout and general arrangement drawings that will allow an understanding of what we plan to provide to you.

Safety helmets have an effective working life from the date of issue. Some safety helmets have a date of manufacture embossed on the underside of the brim. All compliant safety helmets have a label on the inside of the shell with important manufacturer warning advice and a label with space to record the date of issue.

When using extra sock liners, arch supports, orthotics and/or insoles, it is essential to wear them when selecting new footwear. Any insole added to the footwear and extends under the protective toecap may adversely affect the impact protection. Workers need to consult with their medical practitioner to ensure that the insole is required and the correct one is used.

There is no set lifespans for footwear as this will depend on frequency of wear, storage and condition. It is recommended that footwear worn regularly be replaced every 12 months unless signs of wear appear prior to this time. Check with the manufacturer for further details.

We offer a wide range of sizes of hydraulic power packs, from small single pump units with AC or DC fractional kilowatt motors, through to large multi pump units with motor powers > 500kW each, flow rates from 0.01 litres per minute through to > 5000 litres per minute and operating pressures > 1000 bar; with in house manufacture of reservoirs in both carbon and stainless steel > 5000 litres in volume.

Helmets with sound shells but with damaged, excessively dirty, or defective harness components should be withdrawn from service and the complete harness and cradle replaced.

Footwear should be checked for any signs of damage prior to, and after, use. If there are any cracks, breaks in the leather, exposed toecaps or similar damage that reduces the protective qualities of the footwear, the footwear should be replaced. The Australian Standards state that protective footwear needs to be assessed for:

Some PPE come with a manufacturer's 'use by' date, other equipment will need to be replaced based on the relevant Australian Standards. The frequency of use and type of work will affect the lifespan of the PPE.

At Hedley our bespoke Hydraulic Power Units are designed, manufactured and tested in-house by our precision engineering team.

If you require PPE different to what is being provided by your employer, for example prescription safety glasses instead of over glasses or brand name safety boots, consult your employer about who will pay the difference in cost. It may also be possible to claim protective equipment as an income tax deduction.

If your employer has not supplied PPE and you believe that you would benefit from the use of PPE, speak with your manager/supervisor, health and safety representative (if you have one) or union representative (if you have one).

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is any clothing or equipment a worker uses or wears to minimise health and safety risks. PPE includes items such as:

A key part to a trouble free hydraulic system is a well-planned and professional installation. We can install all systems at our customers locations, having control and ownership from ‘system design’ to ‘switch on’ - it’s an important consideration, as you need to be sure you get what you have asked for!  Coupled with our installation we can supply all types of pipework whether compression, hosed or welded in the material to suit your application. The latest techniques in cleaning and hydraulic fluid monitoring is employed.  An electrical PLC and Software control and installation service is also offered to complete system integration into your operational facilities.

PCBUs must regularly monitor PPE to make sure it is being used and stored correctly. The level of monitoring needed will depend on the level of risk and the experience of the workers involved.

The correct fitting of protective footwear is very important as workers are more likely to adopt a responsible attitude towards the protection of their feet.

All used footwear that is considered unsafe needs to be destroyed. It should not be recycled for home use where a danger to feet is present (such as lawn mowing).

We design innovative custom-engineered solutions using hydraulic power units of every size and use, for a range of clients, from the hydraulic stage set at the London Royal Opera House, Gloucester Swing Bridge and Ipswich Tidal Flood Barrier Gate. So whatever your application, we can design a hydraulic power pack to suit those requirements.

Protective footwear should be cleaned regularly, without the use of solvents. Refer to the manufacturer's care instructions for specific details on care and storage.

Whatever you need we’re confident we can provide a HPU which is well designed, easy to maintain, reliable and a budget-conscious solution.  Please call our team now to find out how we can help with your next project on 01924 259999 or email on sales@hedley-hyd.com.

It is recommended that you do not wear other head gear, such as a baseball style caps, underneath a hard hat. Caps and other head gear may prevent the hard hat from sitting on the head correctly. Metal studs and buttons, often found on caps, may cause additional injury if the hard hat is struck by a falling object.

Before choosing PPE you must apply all other control measures to reduce risk in the workplace. Consult with the supplier to make sure all PPE is suitable for the type of work and workplace conditions.

These lifespans are only a guide and may differ depending on frequency of wear, storage and condition. Helmets worn in extreme temperatures or are poorly stored such as in hot vehicles or direct sunlight may need to be replaced more frequently. Whereas infrequently used helmets stored correctly may last longer.

Hedley Hydraulics can partner with customers to improve their productivity and profitability. We work closely with you to discuss the brief and develop a system design solution that will suit your application. We have our own manufacturing facilities for system build and we take ownership of our designs, applying in house test procedures to ensure the Hydraulic Power Unit is ready for installation and use when it leaves our facilities. We have workshop facilities, where we can test assemble and fabricating hydraulic tanks and skids to industry standards, in a variety of carbon and stainless steels. We keep control of the manufacturing process, providing peace of mind that all elements are being taken care of at our end.

All visitors must wear any PPE required at that workplace. The PPE must be worn in accordance with any information, training or reasonable instruction provided by the PCBU.

Where it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate a health and safety risk in the workplace, control measures must be put in place. While PPE can be useful, it is one of the least effective safety control measures and must not be relied on to satisfy hazard control requirements.
