The Future Of Hydraulics

A Burdekin father-son duo is bringing passion, skill and new ideas to the local agricultural industries as one of the region’s newest and most exciting hydraulic repair businesses.

Murray and his son Harry established Muzdraulics over three years ago when Harry completed high school and embarked on his apprenticeship, and their client base has been steadily growing ever since.

Murray followed a similar path, inspired by his diesel-fitter father to complete an apprenticeship in which he learnt to manufacture and design hydraulic cylinders.

“It’s a skill that I wasn’t aware would be so valuable when I did my apprenticeship but moving into the future and working in different areas of fitting, from the mines, earthmoving and industrial hydraulics, those trade skills that I learnt as a young apprentice, they’ve really been a huge asset to my career,” Murray said.

Specialising in sales, system design, installation, service and repairs to all hydraulic components, Muzdraulics is built on decades of unique experience, allowing Murray to grow his skills into areas he’s since realised are incredibly valuable to him and his clients.

Starting his apprenticeship in Toowoomba in 1996, Murray developed relationships with the country’s largest hydraulic companies, growing his experience by working with the industry-leaders.

He was told he has a natural gift for hydraulics, and he says the same thing about Harry.

“I’ve always had a natural interest in hydraulics and as I furthered my training in that area, I developed a passion for all of the latest progressions in hydraulics and now we’re bringing that to the Burdekin,” he said.

“We’re a fairly new company with new ideas but we’ve got the support of the larger companies plus my knowledge and experience.

“I never dreamed of owning my own hydraulics business, but this is where we found ourselves, in the Burdekin, a place full of opportunities.”

A company based in the Burdekin and solely servicing the Burdekin, Murray and Harry are up to the task of supporting the agricultural hub now and into the future.
