Hydraulic & Pneumatic Test Equipment
Hydraulic and pneumatic test equipment supplies controlled fluid pressure and flow to an aircraft on the ground, so technicians can operate flight controls, landing gear and brakes, check for leaks and test systems without running the engines. A hydraulic power unit (HPU, or hydraulic mule) is the main item; the Tronair 5953, for example, delivers 150 to 5,000 psi with HyJet V fluid [1]. Novatelia sources selected hydraulic ground equipment by RFQ for hangars in Oman and qualified GCC projects.
Applications
- Powering aircraft hydraulic systems for functional checks in the hangar [1].
- Leak checks and system bleeding after component changes.
- Operating flight controls and landing gear for rigging and inspection.
Equipment types
- Electric-motor hydraulic power units, e.g. Tronair 59 Series [1].
- Hydraulic jacks for lifting, listed under Aircraft Jacks & Lifting Equipment [2].
How to select equipment
- Fluid type must match the aircraft (e.g. phosphate-ester HyJet V) [1].
- Required pressure and flow for the aircraft type [1].
- Site power supply: voltage and frequency (50 or 60 Hz models) [1].
- Filtration and fluid cleanliness requirements in the aircraft manual.
Customer types
- Airline base maintenance
- MRO hangars
- Business-aviation operators
Good practice
- Follow the aircraft maintenance manual for pressure, flow and connection procedures; never mix hydraulic fluid types.

Frequently asked technical questions
What is a hydraulic mule?
A common name for a ground hydraulic power unit that supplies pressure and flow to the aircraft.
Can one HPU serve several aircraft types?
Only if the fluid, pressure and flow suit each type; check the aircraft manual and the HPU specification [1].
