Holmbury built it’s reputation primarily in the construction and agricultural markets but, as the product portfolio grew so did the exploration into new markets. Holmbury products are present in many specialised marine applications, here is one such example.
Hydraulic boat lifts are mechanical devices designed to raise and lower boats in and out of the water. They serve several purposes, primarily aimed at protecting boats from damage caused by prolonged exposure to water, such as corrosion, marine growth, and hull degradation. Boat lifts are commonly used in marinas, yacht clubs, private docks, and waterfront properties.
Using the Holmbury PSP series on boat lifts is a practical choice due to its robust design and ability to withstand harsh marine environments. The PSP series’ durability, corrosion resistance, and high-pressure capabilities make it well-suited for this application. Its screw-to-connect design allows for quick and easy connection and disconnection, which is beneficial for maintenance and operation tasks associated with boat lifts.
The Holmbury PSP coupling offers many benefits to the boat owner/operator. By utilizing the PSP series on boat lifts, operators can expect reliable performance, reduced downtime, and increased longevity of their hydraulic systems, ultimately contributing to smoother and safer boat lifting operations. Additionally, these couplings may offer compatibility with existing hydraulic systems commonly found in boat lift installations, making integration relatively straightforward.
Smart Manufacturing and Engineering Week is coming up next month and Holmbury cannot wait to take part as an exhibitor. This event is dedicated to showcasing the latest advancements, technologies, and strategies in the fields of manufacturing and engineering. You’ll find exhibitions, conferences, workshops, and networking opportunities for professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts.
The event provides a platform for industry leaders, innovators, and experts to share insights, best practices, and success stories, as well as to discuss challenges and opportunities facing the manufacturing and engineering sectors.
During Smart Manufacturing and Engineering Week, attendees can expect to learn about cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and data analytics, among others. Full of opportunities to test brand new equipment, immerse yourselves in the world of technology and make new contacts through networking, the week promises to be a huge success.
The excitement starts again as the Vertu MINI CHALLENGE TCW Championship second round kicks off this weekend at Brands Hatch.
Wishing Tom the very best of luck!
Holmbury are proud and excited to announce that we will be sponsoring Tom Ovenden for the upcoming Mini JCW 2024 season. Tom will be racing with EXCELR8 Motorsport and joins the JCW championship having won the Mini Cooper Class in 2023. Tom is also taking up a role as an Academy Driver for EXCELR8’s British Touring Car Championship team. We had the pleasure of joining Tom during his recent testing session at Donington Park and got to see the fantastic racing livery on his Mini. The Holmbury logo looks fantastic on both doors, the roof and headlights. We wish Tom all the best for the year ahead and we will be cheering him on every step of the way! 🏎️🏁🏆
A new innovation is making waves throughout Thailand replacing the traditional piler groundwork method with a unique new system. KEMREX use steel piles (resembling giant screws) to reduce the usual installation time of weeks into just 30 minutes per pile. Saving time, using zero concrete and vastly reducing C02 emissions through less machinery makes this method far more environmentally friendly than traditional installation. The steel piles are hot galvanised dipped to 100 microns thickness providing years of corrosion free service. There are multiple applications ranging from buildings, billboards, forestry, pillars and fencing. Holmbury HQ series are a part of the hydraulic fluid power system. This propels the customised motor attachment which drives the steel piles into the ground.

Holmbury remain the only quick release coupling company to have, not only been awarded the Gold but also the Platinum award by the global OEM.
The SQEP (Supplier Quality Excellence Process) was created by Caterpillar to recognise suppliers who demonstrate their commitment to excellence and drive a zero defects culture within their organisation. Suppliers are certified by meeting or exceeding stringent performance standards, including product quality and on time delivery.
Hydraulics have been a critical component of construction equipment for many years, providing the power necessary to move heavy loads and perform other important functions. However, the increasing popularity of hybrid and all-electric vehicles has raised questions about the future of hydraulics within construction. Is there a future? The answer is, DON’T PANIC!
While it is true that hydraulic systems are typically powered by diesel engines, which are becoming less popular due to their high emissions, there are still many reasons why hydraulics will likely remain an important part of construction equipment for the foreseeable future.
First and foremost, hydraulic systems are incredibly powerful and efficient, making them ideal for heavy-duty tasks like lifting and moving large loads. This means that even as construction equipment becomes more electric, there will likely still be a need for hydraulics to provide the power necessary to perform these critical tasks.
Furthermore, many manufacturers are already developing hybrid and electric construction equipment that still incorporates hydraulics.
For example, some hybrid excavators use electric motors to power the machine’s movement, but still rely on hydraulic systems for the lifting and digging functions.
In addition, hydraulic systems are highly customizable, which means that manufacturers can tailor them to meet the specific needs of different types of construction equipment. This makes them a versatile and adaptable technology that can continue to evolve alongside other advances in construction equipment design.
Overall, while the rise of hybrid and all-electric vehicles may have an impact on the future of hydraulics within construction, it seems likely that they will continue to play an important role in powering heavy-duty construction equipment for many years to come.
