12V & 24V DC Hydraulic Power Units
When you need hydraulics in a mobile application — a truck lift, snow plow, RV slide-out, lift-gate, trailer, or any tight-space piece of equipment — a compact DC hydraulic power unit is the right solution. Dewald stocks and builds 12V and 24V DC power units for dozens of mobile and industrial OEMs, with double-acting, single-acting, and bi-rotational configurations available. Whether you need a standard off-the-shelf unit to drop into an existing system or a custom package built around your exact cylinder, controls, and duty cycle, we’ll get you quoted fast and shipped faster. Our DC power units are cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Search as reliable “workhorses” for RV hydraulic and leveling systems — and we ship nationwide from our Mishawaka counter.
A DC hydraulic power unit is a compact hydraulic power source that runs on 12V or 24V DC electrical power instead of AC — which makes it ideal for vehicles, mobile equipment, RVs, and anywhere the operator doesn’t have wall power. It packages a DC motor, hydraulic pump, reservoir, and valve manifold into a single compact unit.

FAQs
What's the difference between a 12V and 24V DC hydraulic power unit?
12V units are standard for passenger vehicles, RVs, small trucks, and light equipment. 24V units deliver more power and are common in heavy-duty commercial trucks, military equipment, and larger mobile applications. Match the voltage to your vehicle’s electrical system.
Can I order a custom DC power unit from Dewald?
Yes. Most of what we ship is configured to the customer’s cylinder, flow, pressure, and voltage requirements. Tell us your application and our engineers will size the right motor, pump, reservoir, and valve package.
What does "double-acting" mean on a DC power unit?
A double-acting DC power unit can apply hydraulic pressure to both extend and retract the cylinder. Single-acting units only pressurize one direction and rely on gravity or a spring for return. Bi-rotational units change flow direction by reversing the motor — a cost-effective alternative to traditional double-acting builds for some applications.
How do I choose the right DC hydraulic power unit for my application?
Start with four inputs: (1) your cylinder bore and stroke, (2) required pressure (PSI), (3) desired cycle time, and (4) your vehicle’s voltage (12V or 24V). Call us with those numbers and we’ll size the power unit for you.
