What is Kawasaki
in this field
Kawasaki has been supplying hydraulic components to this market since the 1960s when hydraulic excavators
first became widely established.
Since then Kawasaki has been continuously developing and manufacturing hydraulic pumps to provide
the immense power source required by these earth moving machines.
Kawasaki has also developed hydraulic motors to apply this power to enable the machines movement and
various Control Valves to provide the operator with the precise feel and control required to undertake a
wide range of tasks from delicate soil grading to trenching, rock breaking and demolition.
However, a large number of low-quality non-genuine Kawasaki parts are being distributed in the aftermarket, leading to reduced machine performance and increased downtime.
