Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has come across the concept of making “MODULAR” fluid power pack?

My version of the modular power pack as it exists in my mind is something like this:

• A piggy back pump combination: Allows the user to add or remove pumps as per his/her needs
• Electric motor: Some interface and adapters that user can replace to connect a bigger electric motor on the same skid if power requirement goes high.
• Off-the-shelf fluid reservoirs that come with their own filters/ breather return filters, inlet and outlet connection etc.: Once again more power/flow requirements can be addressed by connecting these standard reservoirs to newly added pumps.

I am not sure if the concept I am proposing is already existing or something that sounds too crazy.

I would like you to share your version of modular power pack, is any?

Thanks in advance,

Losty
