Static Hydraulic (SHPL) is a renowned name in the field of industrial oil hydraulics in India. The ISO 9001:2015 accredited company has been designing and manufacturing hydraulic systems, power packs, cylinders, presses, and SPMs as per customer specifications and requirements since 1993.
With a dedicated team of experienced professionals, efficient technicians and workforce, aggressive marketing personnel, and sound administrators, SHPL has successfully completed various project systems for diverse industries both in India and overseas. The Managing Director of SHPL, Sanajit Lahiri, has more than 50 years of technical experience and possesses the ability to design circuits that precisely align with the requirements of clients, providing an advantage to the company.
As per Sanajit Lahiri, the market for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in India is expected to experience rapid growth in the coming years due to increased automation and continuous innovation by Indian manufacturers.
However, the hydraulic and pneumatic press industry faces several challenges, including strong competition, high production costs, technical complexity, strict compliance, and ever-changing market demands. To overcome these challenges, manufacturing units like SHPL have to invest in continuous research and development, cost management, customer service, and sustainable ecological practices.
Custom Hydraulic Solutions with Prompt Services
The company's custom solutions and prompt service have contributed to its success in the hydraulic market. Despite facing challenges such as funding and complex procurement procedures, SHPL is dedicated to meeting the growing demand for hydraulic products.
“As a small company, our priority is offering prompt service and submitting offers within 2-3 days. This is in contrast to larger companies, which take 15-20 days to submit proposals. We also have a lower overhead cost, which allows us to offer competitive pricing”, stated Sanajit Lahiri.
Delivering Innovative & Sustainable Hydraulic Solutions
SHPL has also successfully developed and commissioned an import substitute, namely Rail Less Helo Traverse System (RLHTS) for the Defence Industry under the Make in India campaign of the honourable Prime Minister. SHPL continues to pursue government contracts, but the majority of its revenue comes from private-sector contracts.
The major issue that SHPL faces is the delay in payment from institutional sales due to various compliance and regulations which leads to financial issues/crises. Nevertheless, SHPL is committed to delivering excellence, and its innovative and cost-effective solutions make it an essential partner for customers across diverse industries.

The Road Ahead

Despite facing challenges, the company remains committed to expanding its reach even further. With a focus on prompt service and competitive pricing, SHPL has established itself as a significant player in the hydraulic market.
