AQUAMAXX Hydraulic Drive Station

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation settings benefit from this component more than any specification sheet conveys, because keeping electrical plant out of the water changes the risk assessment for a facility treating patients. Where a station sits on the bank and delivers drive hydraulically, no electrical service runs to the submerged equipment at all. The manufacturer cites an SGS certificate for that separation, and Medigear.uk obtains the documentation for the specified configuration so that a service can hold it on file rather than take it on trust.

Aquatic centres and shared pools gain operational flexibility from a station that can be repositioned. Because the cabinet is roller-mounted and occupies less than 0.5 m² of deck space, it can be relocated as programming changes occur rather than being fixed while remaining in commissioning, and it remains within reach of its connected lines. Deck space is contested in most aquatic facilities, so a small movable footprint often determines whether an installation is practical at all.

Commercial operators running services that depend on the equipment should consider holding a spare station. A hydraulic failure that takes a treadmill or swim machine out of use closes a revenue stream or a clinic list until the part arrives. Because the station is a discrete unit rather than an integrated assembly, a spare can be swapped rather than repaired in place. Medigear.uk confirms compatibility with installed equipment so a held spare is known to fit.

Facilities planning a new installation should treat the 4-metre line length as a design constraint rather than a detail. It defines where the station can sit relative to the water, and extending it is a specification decision rather than a later adjustment. Medigear.uk establishes the requirement during planning.

No Electrical Service Enters the Water

Drive is generated in a cabinet on the bank and delivered hydraulically through insulated lines, so nothing electrical is submerged. The manufacturer describes this as genuine water-and-electricity separation and cites an SGS certificate for the design. For a clinical or commercial operator, this simplifies risk assessment considerably. Medigear.uk obtains the certification documentation for the specified configuration.

Speed Control Housed in the Dry Cabinet

A frequency converter within the station regulates the speed of the equipment it serves, placing the control electronics in an accessible, dry position rather than in a submerged assembly. That affects both service access and component life. Graded adjustment comes from the converter rather than mechanical means. Medigear.uk supplies the control documentation with the unit.

Under Half a Square Metre of Deck

The cabinet occupies less than 0.5 m² with dimensions of 840 × 490 × 900 mm. Deck space is contested in almost every aquatic facility, so footprint frequently decides whether equipment can be installed at all. The constraint that matters more is the 4-metre line reach, which determines where on that deck the station can sit. Medigear.uk reviews both during planning.

Movable Despite 115 kg

The roller-mounted design allows repositioning without lifting a 115 kg unit, so siting can be revised after commissioning rather than fixed at installation. A carrying handle assists positioning. Local manual handling assessment should still govern how it is moved. This flexibility matters where poolside layout changes with programming.

Serviceable in the Dry

Because the drive, oil charge, and converter all sit in a bank-side cabinet, maintenance can be performed in a dry, accessible position rather than requiring work on submerged components. Oil checks, line inspection and seal replacement are all straightforward as a result. Practical maintenance tends to actually happen, which has a direct bearing on service life.

Line Reach Extendable in 1 Metre Steps

An additional anti-corrosion insulated hydraulic line is available in 1-metre increments, so the station can be sited farther from the water where the deck layout requires it. This turns a fixed constraint into a specification choice. Requirements are best established at planning rather than after delivery. Medigear.uk confirms the required length for installation planning.

A Shared Platform Across the Range

The same station architecture serves the manufacturer's hydraulic underwater treadmills and its countercurrent swim machines. For a facility operating multiple items, that commonality simplifies spare parts holding and staff familiarity. Compatibility is still confirmed against the specific model, since line configuration and control pairing must match. Medigear.uk verifies this with the factory.

Available as Replacement or Spare

The station is a discrete unit and can be supplied separately from the equipment it drives. For a commercial operator, holding a spare against a failure that would otherwise close a service has a clear business case, and swapping a unit is faster than repairing one in place. Medigear.uk confirms compatibility with installed equipment before supply.

Cabinet Dimensions: 840 × 490 × 900 mm

The station cabinet measures 840 mm wide, 490 mm deep and 900 mm high. These dimensions govern where it can sit on a deck or in a plant space. The 900 mm height allows access to the top-mounted handle.

Floor Area Under 0.5 Square Metres

The manufacturer states the covered area as under 0.5 m². This is a modest requirement for a drive unit serving submerged equipment. Ventilation clearance is additional to the footprint itself.

Hydraulic Oil Capacity: 35 Litres

The system holds 35 litres of hydraulic oil, which forms the basis of the maintenance schedule. Oil level and condition are the primary routine checks. Oil specification and replacement interval are confirmed with Medigear.uk before ordering.

Net Weight: 115 kg

The station weighs 115 kg net. Delivery access and final positioning need to be planned against this figure, though the roller design allows repositioning afterwards without lifting.

Gross Weight: 145 kg

Gross weight is 145 kg, covering the crated consignment rather than in-use handling. This is the figure relevant to freight method and delivery access. Medigear.uk factors it into logistics planning.

Roller-Mounted for Repositioning

The manufacturer describes a roller design for ease of movement, and the product image shows four castors. This allows the station to be relocated within line reach without lifting. Siting is therefore adjustable after commissioning.

Carrying Handle

The product image shows a handle at the top of the cabinet, assisting positioning and manoeuvring. This complements the castors for controlled movement. Local manual handling assessment should govern use.

Ventilated Enclosure

The product image shows a ventilation grille to one side of the cabinet, consistent with a unit that rejects heat from its power pack. Ventilation clearance must be maintained around that face for the unit to work efficiently. The clearance requirement has been confirmed with Medigear.uk.

Two Anti-Corrosion Insulated Hydraulic Lines: 4 m

Standard supply includes two anti-corrosion, insulated hydraulic lines, each 4 metres long. Insulation and corrosion resistance are specified because the lines run through a wet, chemically treated environment. Their length determines the maximum separation between the station and the water.

Optional Additional Line in 1 Metre Increments

Further anti-corrosion insulated hydraulic lines are available in 1-metre lengths. This allows the station to be sited farther from the water, where the deck layout requires it. Requirements should be established at planning stage.

Integrated Frequency Converter

A frequency converter within the station regulates the speed of the equipment it drives. Housing the converter in the dry cabinet keeps the control electronics accessible and away from water. It provides graded rather than stepped adjustment.

Water and Electricity Separation

Because the drive is delivered hydraulically, no electrical service runs to the submerged equipment. The manufacturer describes this as genuine water-and-electricity separation, citing an SGS certificate. Medigear.uk obtains the documentation applying to the specified configuration.

Compatibility Across the Hydraulic Range

The station serves the manufacturer's hydraulic underwater treadmills and countercurrent swim machines. Line configuration and control pairing must match the equipment being driven. Compatibility is confirmed against the specific model before supply.

Dry-Side Siting Requirement

The station must be located in a dry, well-ventilated position within reach of its hydraulic lines. That position is a design decision affecting both safety and performance. Medigear.uk reviews deck layout and available positions during planning.

Rated Power and Supply Specification

Rated power is stated on the equipment the station drives rather than for the station in isolation. Because the station carries both drive and converter, the circuit capacity needs to be checked against the actual load. Medigear.uk obtains the confirmed figures in writing before delivery.

Oil Specification and Service Interval

Hydraulic oil grade and replacement interval determine both performance and component life, and neither is published separately for the station. Both are obtained from the manufacturer in writing. Medigear.uk supplies the maintenance schedule with the unit.

Documentation Pack Supplied at Order

Manufacturer technical documentation, installation guidance, the maintenance schedule and applicable certification records accompany every station. Medigear.uk assembles this at order rather than leaving buyers to source it afterwards. Where a parameter is unpublished, its confirmed value is supplied in writing.

The Hydraulic Drive Station is the component that keeps the electrical plant out of the water across the AQUAMAXX hydraulic range, generating drive in an 840 × 490 × 900 mm cabinet on the bank and delivering it through two 4-metre anti-corrosion insulated lines. A 35-litre oil charge, an integrated frequency converter for speed control, a roller-mounted enclosure at 115 kg net, and a footprint under 0.5 m² suit physiotherapy and rehabilitation settings, aquatic centres and shared pools, and commercial operators holding spares against downtime alike. Rated power, oil specification and service intervals are obtained from the manufacturer in writing, and compatibility is confirmed against the specific equipment being driven before supply.
