Hydraulic System Design & Engineering Consultancy

MGR Fluid Engineering provide an independent and experienced hydraulic system design engineering service. We have over 30 years experience of designing hydraulic systems, including the selection of the most technical components to provide a design that performs and is reliable in the long term.

Hydraulic system design

Providing new, innovative, efficient and robust designs for hydraulic systems. We are independent and experienced and can advise of the best suited components for the design.

Problem hydraulic systems

Do you have problems with your existing hydraulic systems and need an impartial view? We have surveyed many hydraulic systems and identified problems, detailing actions to solve those problems.

Feasibility or FEED Studies

Do you need a company who has in depth hydraulic system design experience to propose hydraulic systems designs before the main design process? MGR Fluid Engineering can help and have a portfolio of past experience to support our services.

Systems with no schematics

To help you comply with PUWER regulations we offer a service providing hydraulic schematics, bills of materials and manuals for systems that don’t have that documentation. We also undertake surveys of hydraulic systems identifying the components and the connections between them to develop the hydraulic schematic. Understanding hydraulic system design means we can identify existing hydraulic circuits and components efficiently ensuring a high quality and accurate service.

We luckily had Mike as Operations Director where we succeeded in growing the business in areas where we had previously passed by adding his technical, no fuss approach.

Our business learnt from his skills to independently design hydraulic systems, providing schematics and bills of materials.

Key attributes were on site services - fault finding, focussing on the root cause, advice of maintenance and provision of documentation such as Written Schemes of Examination for Accumulators.

Who We Design Hydraulic Systems For

At MGR Fluid Engineering, our hydraulic system design services support a wide range of industries that depend on reliable and efficient fluid power performance. We work with:

  • Manufacturing and production facilities where precision and uptime are critical

  • Heavy industry and processing plants with bespoke hydraulic requirements

  • OEMs and equipment builders needing tailored design documentation

  • Maintenance and engineering teams seeking external design validation

  • Project managers responsible for complex installations

Our experience across these sectors means you benefit from solutions that are not only technically sound but structured to meet your operational priorities.

Our Hydraulic System Design Process

Our design services follow a clear, practical workflow built around understanding your objectives and technical constraints:

  1. Initial requirement gathering – we discuss your application, constraints, and performance needs

  2. Concept development and feasibility – system feasibility, schematics, and options

  3. Detailed design documentation – layouts, P&IDs, part selection, and engineering justification

  4. Review and optimisation – ensuring designs align with performance targets and standards

  5. Support through implementation – on-site or remote support as needed

By documenting every step, we ensure transparency and clarity from concept through to final delivery.

Why Choose an Independent Hydraulic System Designer

Opting for an independent consultant can provide several key advantages:

  • Unbiased design recommendations — not tied to product lines or brands

  • Industry-agnostic expertise that adapts to your project goals

  • Reduced risk of costly redesigns through clear engineering rationale

  • Documentation you can trust for installation, maintenance, and compliance

MGR’s independent approach focuses squarely on your system’s performance, longevity, and operational efficiency. Whether you’re upgrading an existing installation or designing a new system from scratch, our engineering perspective adds value from day one.
