Configured to order
Upgrade Kit
Start with a Fire Salamander kit. We match wiring, supply and hydraulic valve requirements, then assemble and bench-test the agreed components for integration into your machine.
Explore the kitsHydraulic controls.Built around you.
Make your machine work the way you want. We build custom hydraulic control kits and guide you from the first idea to a tested kit for installation.
Choose your
starting point.
Start with one of our kits or have us design one for your machine. We help you choose and handle the technical details.
Custom Build
Adapt an existing kit or develop a custom configuration. You describe the job; we guide the design, select components and prepare the kit for installation.
Talk to EngineeringTHE EXPERIENCE BEHIND FIRE SALAMANDERHYDRAULIC
MASTER
MASTER
We know hydraulics.
So we built Fire Salamander.
Hydraulic Master’s experience includes projects with Scanreco controls, hydraulic valves and machine-specific wiring. That hands-on work helped shape Fire Salamander: our own hydraulic control kits, configured around each customer’s machine and application.
A generational leap in control.
Choose how the controls respond to your inputs. Fire Salamander brings configurable electronic outputs to a compatible hydraulic installation, with settings agreed for your machine.
Manual Analog Valve
- Direct operation at the valve
- Movement controlled by lever position
- No electronic output profiles in the illustrated setup
The Fire Salamander Platform
Fire Salamander - control features
MAX SPEED
Limit the maximum velocity for each individual movement independently.
MIN SPEED
Define the exact starting speed threshold for specific functions.
DEADZONE
Micro-adjust the point at which the joystick actually begins to respond.
RAMPS
Modify precise ramp-up and ramp-down acceleration times for outputs.
FLOATS
Easily enable or disable floating functions per section on the fly.
TIMER
Set exact operating duration and speed percentages for timed automation.
CAN COMMUNICATION
Kit components communicate over CAN. We can also integrate the kit with your machine’s CAN network, with compatibility and message requirements confirmed for your project.

The right components.
Less work for you.
Wiring, controls and valves.
We match cable harnesses, supply requirements and coils to the agreed configuration, including suitable Walvoil or AKON directional control valves.
One team to guide the choices.
You explain how the machine should work. Our team helps turn that into a component list and control layout, then assembles and bench-tests your kit.
Check stock before waiting.
Hydraulic Master holds component stock that can shorten the wait for suitable builds. We confirm availability and the build schedule for your configuration.
BUILT AROUND THE WORK

All questionsDo I need to understand the technical side?
No. Describe the machine and the change you want. We ask the technical questions and guide the component choices with you.
Why is an advance payment needed?
Custom work commits engineering time and components to your project. Your quote explains the payment schedule and what it covers before work begins. Ask us to clarify any part of the scope before paying.
Is the kit ready to operate when it arrives?
It arrives as an assembled, bench-tested component kit for integration. Installation, checks and commissioning on your machine must be completed before operation. The agreed project scope defines what is included.
You know the machine. We guide the design.
A photo and a description of the job are enough to start. We walk you through the choices and turn them into an agreed component kit.
01
Show us the machine
Tell us what you operate and what you want to change. Share a photo or component reference if you have one. No technical brief required.
02
Agree the configuration
We help select the controls, wiring, power supply and hydraulic valve. Your quote sets out the scope, expected timing and advance payment before custom work begins.
03
Bench-tested, then shipped
We assemble and test the agreed kit at our workshop, then ship it for installation. Integration and commissioning on your machine must be completed before use.
What would make your machine easier to operate?
Tell us about your excavator, drill rig, crane, forestry machine or farm equipment. We will help define a hydraulic control kit around the job.
