The Man Behind Lachlan Hydraulics

A man and five young children, all wearing black and green hoodies with a logo, are outdoors in front of a blue service truck with the logo 'Lachlan Hydraulics' and text about services. The man is carrying two children on his shoulders, one smiling and the other with a neutral expression, while three children stand at his feet, one waving and another looking curiously. The background features trees and clear sky.

When you call Lachlan Hydraulics, you're dealing directly with Tim Ward — the owner, operator and hands-on tradesman behind the business.

With experience working across agriculture, earthmoving, transport, drilling, quarrying and industrial operations, Tim understands the demands placed on machinery and the importance of keeping equipment working.

From excavators and loaders to trucks, trailers, pumps and hydraulic systems, his practical experience spans a wide variety of machinery and operating environments.

Today, through Lachlan Hydraulics, Tim brings that hands-on approach directly to customers across Central West NSW. Whether it's diagnosing a hydraulic fault, repairing a cylinder or manufacturing a replacement hose assembly on-site, he's the person answering the call and carrying out the work.

As a family-run business based in Forbes, we're proud to build lasting relationships with the people and businesses we support.

Built around the Central West

Based in Forbes, Lachlan Hydraulics is proud to support the farmers, contractors, machinery operators and businesses that keep our region moving.

We understand that when machinery goes down, the impact goes well beyond the equipment itself. It can mean interrupted harvests, delayed jobs and valuable time lost.

That's why we bring mobile hydraulic repairs, maintenance and 24/7 breakdown support directly to farms, worksites and workshops across Central West NSW.

Local knowledge. Practical solutions. Reliable service.
