Hydro-Gear has been in business since 1991. It started as a joint-venture with Agri-Fab to assemble hydrostatic transmissions and axles before supplying them to the OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Today, they design and produce components and drive products for commercial and industrial markets.
Most of the freight that MK hauls is components, metal parts to build this machinery. These parts come together to create transmissions, axles, drives, piston pumps, wheel motors, and other transmission and drive systems. It’s likely that Hydro-Gear parts are used in the power equipment we use at home, such as lawnmowers. Our usual lanes from HG deliver to the warehouses in Princeton KY and Mattoon IL. Then those get taken over to the factory as needed. A lot of our HG lanes are out east. Saint Marys PA, Berea OH, Massillon OH, and Middleburg Heights OH are our frequent lanes. Their busy shipping season is during the fall and winter since a lot of their equipment is being assembled for spring work.
