World Leading Innovator

Delta Hydraulics was founded by John White who remains the owner of the company and its Managing Director. Led by John, Delta has a long history of innovation:

  • John invented the unitary construction of telescopic cylinder stages and has perfected this manufacturing process. This eliminates unreliable gland nuts or base plugs from the product and extends its life.
  • Delta was also the first telescopic cylinder manufacturer in Australia to hard chrome plate the cylinder stages.
  • Delta also developed the twin-lip seal and the use of a flapped wiper on telescopic cylinders which reduces and eliminates contamination such as dust and moisture from entering the cylinder, thereby increasing its life.
  • Delta has developed a world leading proprietary chrome treatment technology, that provides hard chrome corrosion protection that is more than 100 times the standard set by leading OEMs.
  • With a strategy focussed on manufacturing techniques, innovation, re-investment in improved capital equipment and quality, Delta Hydraulics operates some of the most advanced technology available, including the largest friction welder in the southern hemisphere and the world's first horizontal reciprocating chrome plating machine.
  • Delta was the first cylinder manufacturer in Australia to develop annual ported and rod ported hydraulic cylinders.
  • Delta was the first cylinder manufacturer in Australia to develop position and velocity sensing smart hydraulic cylinders.

Quality Driven

Delta is AS/NZS ISO9001:2015 certified as well as being Australian Department of Defence certified.
