About HydraTough

A little about us and what we do.

What we do

Hydraulic power for your equipment.

HydraTough power units were previously sold under the PortaCo name. With more than 40 years of history, these units have powered hydraulic equipment on job sites across the country.

When the previous owner stepped away from the power unit business, Command Hydraulics acquired the line. Today, we continue that product line under the HydraTough name, with standard units available to buy directly and custom builds available for specific applications.

A new name. The same proven power units.

Why HydraTough exists

Making it easier to buy the power unit you need

We created HydraTough so you can compare power units, see what they cost, and order directly online. Each standard model has its specifications and pricing listed, so you can check whether it fits your equipment before you buy.

In-stock units ship in 1–2 business days. If you need help choosing a unit or discussing a custom build, our team is here to help.

If you previously bought one of these units under the PortaCo name, you’ll recognize the lineup. We continue to offer the same power units under the HydraTough name, with ordering and support available directly through us.
