The trusted way to tackle tricky terrain
Reliable on every surface and proven for safety, all Hydralada models are designed to drive at full elevation on unprepared terrain and slopes of up to 20 degrees. Each machine is stability tested and has a safe working angle specified.
-
Feet first with hands-free operation
The ability to drive the machine at full height, hands-free is just one of the features that make a Hydralada machine so efficient. The operator can easily run steel cable, lay out protective netting covers and clip them to the structure safely with ease.

Small and nimble
Hydralada’s thoughtful, refined design makes it ideal to work in tightly confined areas, without compromising lift height for accessing both vertical and overhead structures.
Intuitive controls
Work hands-free safely with ease
With Hydralada lifting platforms it’s all about the fancy footwork. Housed within the floor of the platform, a centre pedal operates the lift and the two outside pedals operate the respective drive wheels. It’s a quick and easy drive system that leaves the operators hands free to work.
Rigid Chassis
Heavy-duty all round
With more than 45 years of manufacturing experience, you could say we know the lay of the land like the back of our hand. Proven for safety and renowned for reliability, our heavy-duty construction and rigid chassis design mean Hydralada machines will operate in harsh environments year-round.
Powerful Engine
High performance from a twin cylinder petrol engine
Let’s hear it for a smooth operator. The Hydralada’s high torque 19hp Twin Cylinder Kohler Engine is driven at relatively low RPM, ensuring a quiet, fume-free working environment.
Popular lifting platform options
Rubber Tracks
Handle mud and slopes
Mounted on an oscillating beam, Hydralada’s rubber track drive option handles with ease wet and rough ground conditions so often associated with new orchard developments– offering extra traction, stability and safety for the operator.
Platform Tool Box
Carry tools safely
Hydralada’s front and rear-mounted heavy-duty toolboxes are easily fitted to the platform. Effortlessly carry all the tools necessary for your job, keeping them close to hand – maximising efficiency and safety.
Dual Speed
High ground speed
With the boom lowered, the operator can safely drive faster. Once the boom is elevated the Hydralada automatically switches to a slower ground speed. Dual speed is a sensible option for protective netting contractors.
Twin Castor
More wheels on the ground
More stabilitty than the standard single castor rear wheel, the Twin Castor option is often included with Tandem Four Wheel drive making for a truly versatile machine for working on sloping property.
Steel Tracks
Traction and stability when its needed
Steel tracks fit over the Tandem Four Wheel Drive and increase the machines traction. The additinal weight also adds to the stability of the the machine, ideal for working on steep orchards, and in rough ground conditions.
Slew Platform
Shift sideways while working
The operator can slew the platform 45 degrees left or right of the centre without moving the chassis of the machine on the ground. A lever located in the front of the platform activates a hydraulic ram that significantly increases the working envelope.
