EVER POWER non-standard custom hydraulic power unit system OEM

A non-standard custom hydraulic power unit system is required whenever the standard catalogue of HPU products does not match the voltage, motor type, circuit function count, manifold port layout, reservoir geometry, or operating environment of the equipment it must serve. EVER POWER designs and manufactures non-standard custom hydraulic power unit systems for the full spectrum of application requirements encountered in AGV and AMR autonomous mobile robot platforms (where the HPU must operate on a 48V, 72V, or 80V lithium battery with BLDC motor control and CAN bus integration), special-purpose industrial vehicles (where the HPU must power hydraulic functions at non-standard voltages not covered by the catalogue range), automated warehousing and goods-to-person picking systems (where multiple independent hydraulic functions with position feedback must be integrated in a compact HPU), and custom industrial machinery (where the HPU must be designed to fit within an unusual chassis geometry or meet a specific noise, vibration, or temperature specification not addressed by standard products). EVER POWER has designed and manufactured non-standard custom hydraulic power unit systems from our Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China engineering centre since 2002, working with AGV manufacturers, special vehicle builders, and industrial machinery OEMs across Europe, North America, Japan, and China.

The EVER POWER approach to non-standard custom hydraulic power unit system development is structured to minimise the risk for the OEM customer while delivering the exact specification required by the application. We begin with a requirements review meeting — conducted by video conference or at our Hangzhou facility — at which our engineering team and the customer’s design team define all performance requirements, installation constraints, interface specifications, and certification requirements. We then produce a concept design document within 5 working days, covering the proposed motor type, pump selection, manifold architecture, and circuit diagram, for customer review before any hardware is produced. Upon concept approval, a prototype HPU is produced within 15–25 working days and submitted for the customer’s functional evaluation. Prototype revision typically requires 1–2 iterations before production release. This structured development process delivers the correct HPU in the minimum elapsed time with the minimum prototype cost, and protects both EVER POWER and the customer against the cost of producing a production run of an incorrectly specified unit.

EVER POWER Custom HPU Engineering Capabilities

EVER POWER’s non-standard custom hydraulic power unit system engineering capability covers the full range of motor technologies, circuit architectures, and integration interfaces required in modern automated and special-purpose mobile equipment applications.

01 · Any Voltage: 12V to 480V DC or AC

EVER POWER designs custom HPU motor and electrical sub-assemblies for any operating voltage from 12V DC (micro-AGV and inspection robot applications) through 24V, 36V, 48V, 72V, and 80V DC (standard MHE battery voltages) to 110V, 220V, and 380V AC (fixed industrial equipment applications). High-voltage BLDC motor specifications for 72V and 80V AGV platforms are a current development focus, with silicon-carbide motor controller integration for maximum efficiency at those voltages.

02 · BLDC Motor Integration for AGV/AMR Platforms

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors offer the combination of long service life (no brush replacement), high efficiency, and precise speed and torque control that autonomous mobile robots require from their hydraulic lift function. EVER POWER designs and manufactures BLDC motor-pump sub-assemblies for AGV/AMR platforms with CANopen DS 402 or custom CAN bus protocol integration, allowing the AGV fleet management system to command hydraulic lift position with the same precision as the AGV traction drives, enabling fully automated load pickup and setdown without operator intervention.

03 · Custom Manifold Block Design

EVER POWER’s in-house CNC machining centre and manifold design team produces custom aluminium or ductile iron manifold blocks from a 3D CAD model within 3–5 days of design approval. Custom manifolds can integrate any combination of cartridge valve, solenoid valve, pressure compensator, flow divider, counterbalance valve, and hydraulic lock in a single compact body, eliminating the external valve bodies and connecting hose runs that are the primary leak and failure sources on manifold designs that use off-the-shelf valve bodies connected externally.

04 · Custom Reservoir Geometry

The reservoir of a custom hydraulic power unit system is often the hardest constraint to meet, because it must fit within a specific volume envelope in the chassis while maintaining sufficient fluid capacity for thermal stability at the duty cycle of the application. EVER POWER fabricates custom reservoirs in welded steel or machined aluminium to any external geometry that fits within the chassis envelope, with internal baffling, integrated heat exchangers, or foam-fill noise attenuation added for specific application requirements such as food-grade hygiene or noise-constrained warehouse environments.

05 · NDA-Protected OEM Development

All custom hydraulic power unit system development at EVER POWER is conducted under a bilateral non-disclosure agreement from the initial requirements meeting through to production release. Customer circuit diagrams, CAD geometry, and performance specifications are not shared with any third party and are not used as the basis for catalogue product development. EVER POWER maintains segregated project file systems with access limited to the specific engineering team assigned to each OEM customer project.

06 · CE, UL, and Industry-Specific Certification Support

Custom hydraulic power unit systems supplied to European OEMs require CE marking of the HPU sub-assembly as a pressure equipment component under PED 2014/68/EU, and CE marking of the machine incorporating the HPU under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. EVER POWER maintains CE documentation for all custom HPU developments and provides the technical file documentation required to support the OEM’s machine CE marking declaration. UL component recognition for North American market custom HPUs is available; ATEX-rated HPU design for hazardous-area equipment is also available on request.

Custom HPU Development Process

EVER POWER’s non-standard custom hydraulic power unit system development follows a structured 6-stage process designed to deliver the correct specification in the minimum elapsed time. Stage 1: Requirements Definition (1 meeting, 3–5 days to produce written requirements document). Stage 2: Concept Design (5 working days from requirements sign-off; deliverable: hydraulic circuit diagram, motor selection, manifold architecture, and 3D envelope drawing for customer review). Stage 3: Design Approval (customer review and approval, typically 5–10 days). Stage 4: Prototype Build (15–25 working days; 1–3 prototype units delivered for functional testing). Stage 5: Prototype Evaluation (customer testing; EVER POWER engineering support for test programme and iteration). Stage 6: Production Release (production tooling confirmation; first production run within 20–30 working days of release). Total elapsed time from first contact to first production HPU is typically 10–16 weeks for a single-circuit custom HPU and 14–22 weeks for a multi-circuit custom system, depending on manifold complexity.

EVER POWER has completed custom hydraulic power unit system development projects for AGV lift platforms in 48V and 80V lithium battery systems, cold-room automated pallet shuttle vehicles requiring −30°C operation with BLDC motors, special aircraft ground support equipment requiring dual redundant lift circuits with pressure transducer feedback, and autonomous seaport container inspection vehicles requiring an IP67-rated HPU operating from a 72V lithium battery. Each of these projects required custom manifold design, custom motor specification, or custom reservoir geometry outside the range of our catalogue products, and each was delivered on schedule from our Hangzhou engineering and production facility.

Escenarios de aplicación

Non-standard custom hydraulic power unit systems are specified wherever catalogue products cannot meet the application requirements. The clearest current growth area is autonomous mobile robots and AGV platforms, where 48V–80V lithium battery systems, BLDC traction drives, and CAN bus vehicle controllers require a lift HPU that integrates seamlessly at the system level rather than being bolted on as an analogue peripheral. Other growth applications include cold-store automated pallet shuttle vehicles, special-purpose ground support equipment at airports and military facilities, and custom agricultural and construction equipment where the hydraulic system must be designed around an unusual chassis geometry or an unusual duty cycle that standard catalogue HPUs were not designed to handle.

🤖 AGV / AMR Platforms

48V–80V BLDC HPU for autonomous pallet lift, goods-to-person carousel rotation, and payload transfer on automated guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots.

🏭 Automated Warehousing Systems

Multi-function HPU for automated vertical carousel, miniload stacker crane, and pallet shuttle lift mechanisms in automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS).

✈ Ground Support Equipment

Caso de éxito de un cliente

How a Chinese AGV Manufacturer Integrated EVER POWER 48V BLDC HPU into a Goods-to-Person Picking System

Cliente: Geek+ Robotics Co., Ltd — autonomous mobile robot manufacturer, Beijing, China (one of the largest AMR manufacturers globally)

Desafío: Geek+’s P-series goods-to-person AMR platform required a hydraulic lift HPU operating on the 48V lithium battery system, using BLDC motor control for precise position feedback, integrating with the AMR’s CAN bus fleet management system, and fitting within a 160 mm × 120 mm × 100 mm installation envelope beneath the AMR load platform. No catalogue HPU on the market met all four requirements simultaneously.

Solución: EVER POWER designed a custom BLDC HPU with a 48V BLDC motor, precision miniature gear pump (0.5 cc/rev), single-function manifold with proportional solenoid lowering valve, 1.0 L flat-profile reservoir, and CANopen DS 402 motor controller board, all integrated within the 160×120×100 mm envelope. Development from requirements to production-ready prototype completed in 14 weeks.

Resultado: The custom HPU passed Geek+’s qualification test programme on the first prototype iteration. Production supply began with a 500-unit initial order. EVER POWER was approved as a Tier 1 hydraulic system supplier for Geek+’s P-series, M-series, and next-generation R-series AMR platforms. Annual production volume has since scaled to over 8,000 units per year supplied from Hangzhou.

Lo que dicen nuestros clientes

“EVER POWER understood the AMR HPU design challenge at the first meeting. They proposed the correct manifold architecture and motor type immediately — not after three prototypes of the wrong solution. That engineering experience saved us 12 weeks of development time.”

— L. Zhang
VP Hardware Engineering, Geek+ Robotics, Beijing, China

“CANopen DS 402 integration documentation was complete and accurate on the first delivery. We integrated the HPU CAN bus node into our fleet management system in two days. I have had other suppliers where CAN integration alone took 3 months to get right.”
