BAKER HYDRAULICS – BUILT TO LAST
Our Story
Baker Hydraulics was launched in 1951 by Brian Baker. Operating out of the garage in his home, Brian observed a gap in the agricultural equipment market. He aimed to enhance the productivity of the agricultural businesses by improving efficiency of agricultural equipment. This was made possible by power supplied by Baker Hydraulics’ state-of-the-art hydraulic cylinders.
Advanced Technology
Over the years, we have invested in and improved the technology we have. We believe technology is a great enabler for building efficient systems. Our CAD and 3D modeling software is highly advanced and allows for customers to select their own specifications.
Baker Hydraulics design customized cylinders for a large number of Original Equipment Makers (OEMs). We also provide standard designs including the displacement and re-phasing cylinders.
Widespread Reseller Network
We understand how vital it is for our clients to minimize their equipment down time. Consequently,
Baker Hydraulics has gradually spread its reseller network to cover entire Australia. All our resellers are well-stocked with our standard design replacement hydraulic cylinders.
Now you don’t need to wait for weeks before having your industrial equipment up and running!

Lean Manufacturing
The advent of globalization has turned the world into a commercial village. Consumers have easy access to a variety of products from different suppliers. This has made it inevitable for manufacturers to rethink their pricing, inventory and lead times if they are to retain their consumer-base!

At Baker Hydraulics, we adopted lean manufacturing to achieve the following objectives:
- Provide superior quality hydraulic cylinders

There are many lean manufacturing strategies and techniques available to a business. Some of the principles we use at Baker Hydraulics include:
- Kaizen for waste elimination
