What is the lifespan of a hydraulic pump?

The lifespan of a hydraulic pump depends directly on the quality of system maintenance. Generally, a high-quality pump like those from Caterpillar can reach 10,000 to 15,000 operating hours if filters are regularly replaced and the oil does not overheat. However, contaminated oil or low fluid levels can reduce this longevity to just a few hundred hours.

What is the best brand of hydraulic pump?

Caterpillar often incorporates advanced components, sometimes using technologies from partners like Rexroth or Kawasaki (K3V/K5V series), but original CAT pumps remain the absolute standard for their own machines. They are designed to perfectly integrate with the brand’s electronic control systems, offering a synergy that generic brands can rarely match in terms of Load Sensing performance.
