Hydstar was initially established in 1998 as a hydraulic specialist company. We design and manufacture hydraulic systems built for precision, reliability, and customization. From engineering design and CNC machining to testing, validation, and client support, we deliver solutions that keep our customers moving forward. Whether you’re seeking advanced hydraulic systems, dependable manufacturing, or collaborative expertise, we are here to help you achieve performance, safety, and success.

Our company delivers advanced vehicle safety and control solutions designed to meet the stringent braking legislation applicable to mining operations, including light-duty vehicles (LDVs). These systems are engineered to comply with safety requirements across both open-cast and underground mining environments.

We specialize in the design, manufacture, and supply of fully enclosed, spring-applied, hydraulically released failsafe braking systems. These systems provide immediate brake application in the event of power loss, hydraulic failure, or manual intervention. Integrated with pedestrian detection technology, they enable automatic progressive or full braking upon detection of pedestrians or vehicles, forming a comprehensive collision avoidance solution that achieves Level 9 safety compliance. Our in-house designed and manufactured solution is available for most makes and models on trackless mining machines.
