How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Hydraulic Pump

The cost to replace a hydraulic pump varies widely depending on pump type, size, brand, and application. Below is a detailed breakdown of replacement costs for different hydraulic pumps

1. Cost Ranges by Pump Type

Pump Type Price Range (New) Rebuild Cost Common Applications

Gear Pump (Fixed Displacement) $200 – $2,500 $150 – $1,200 Low-pressure systems, agriculture, conveyors

Vane Pump (FixedVariable) $500 – $5,000 $300 – $2,500 Machine tools, industrial hydraulics

Axial Piston Pump (High-Pressure) $1,500 – $15,000+ $800 – $7,500 Excavators, presses, heavy machinery

Radial Piston Pump (Very High Pressure) $3,000 – $20,000+ $2,000 – $10,000 Hydraulic presses, marine systems

2. Factors Affecting Replacement Cost

✔ Pump Size & Flow Rate

Small pumps (≤10 GPM) $200–$2,000

Medium pumps (10–50 GPM) $1,000–$8,000

Large pumps (50+ GPM) $5,000–$20,000+

✔ Brand & Quality

Budget brands (ChineseIndian) 30–50% cheaper

Premium brands (Rexroth, Parker, Eaton) Higher cost but longer lifespan

✔ Application

Mobile equipment (excavators, loaders) → More expensive due to rugged design

Industrial machines → Often cheaper, standardized models

✔ Labor Costs

DIY installation $0 (if you have the skillstools)

Professional installation $500–$3,000 (depending on complexity)

3. Cost Comparison New vs. Rebuilt

Option Pros Cons Price Range

New Pump Full warranty, latest tech Highest cost $200 – $20,000+

Rebuilt Pump 50–70% cheaper than new Shorter warranty $150 – $10,000

Used Pump Very cheap Unreliable, no warranty $100 – $5,000

4. Hidden Costs to Consider

* Additional parts needed during replacement

Couplingsadapters $50–$500

New hydraulic hosesfittings $100–$1,000

System flush & oil change $200–$800

Diagnostic testing $150–$500

5. Where to Buy a Replacement Pump

 OEM Suppliers

Bosch Rexroth 

Parker Hannifin 

Eaton-Vickers

Sauer-Danfoss

Elephant Fluid Power

AftermarketOnline？

Amazon, eBay (budget options)

Hydraulic-supply.com

Surplus Center

- Local Hydraulic Repair Shops (often sell rebuilt units)

6. How to Save Money on Replacement

- Rebuild your old pump (if components are salvageable)

- Buy remanufactured (warranty included)

- Compare multiple suppliers (prices vary widely)

- DIY installation (if you have the expertise)

7. When to Replace vs. Repair

Replace if

Pump is severely damaged (cracked housing, bent shaft).

Repair costs 60% of a new pump. 

Downtime is critical (new pump = faster solution).

Repair if 

Only sealsbearings are bad.

Pump is high-end (Rexroth, Parker).
