Innovative Solutions for Today's Workforce

We first discovered Fluid Power Training Institute while working with our partner, ConsuLab in 2016. It was easy to see that both companies shared a similar vision and passion for education - to design and build some of the very best training equipment available anywhere today.

CEO Rory McClaren and team based in Salt Lake City, Utah produce an incredible range of trainers. From basic fundamentals through advanced diagnostics, their equipment is recognized to meet and exceed industry standards. Each creation always begins with one very important yet inherent design rule: they must be completely safe for their customers. Safety is the #1 priority at Fluid Power Training Institute.

Their list of training solutions is extensive. Each is provided with a two-year warranty, plus comprehensive series of curriculum materials including the option to purchase Print License Agreements for each.

Training and Support: Fluid Power Training Institute offers a wide range of training and support options to meet your needs:

Initial basic training by their in-house Technical Expert, Mr. Matt Luers via Zoom
Two levels of in-person training throughout the year which include
Practical Hydraulics 5-day Workshop (Basic through Advanced training)
Troubleshooting Hydraulics, also a 5-day Workshop for advanced diagnostics training on your model
Train the Trainer Workshops
On-Site Customized Workshops
Additional Online Training as needed

These products speak for themselves. Let us prove it to you.

FPTI Trainer Line Up:

Model TT100-E - Excavator Table-top Trainer

The TT100-E Excavator table-top trainer is exceptional for introducing students to the concept of transmitting power by pushing on a confined liquid, and will get your students excited about the world of hydraulics.

Model MF100-BH

The model MF100-BH proves that affordability doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice capability because it’s modulated design makes it possible for the MF100-BH to grow in direct proportion to your training needs and budget - up to, and including, electro-hydraulics.

Model MF102-H

The MF102-H - A “foundation building” masterpiece - The MF102-H is a brilliant “foundation building” training system that is masterfully crafted to help students connect the dots.

Fluid Power’s Flagship:

Model MF102-H-TSE

The model 102-H-TSE has the same features and capabilities as the model MF102-H-TS but the letter “E” denotes “electronic troubleshooting.” This is FPTI™’s flagship, and best-selling, training system loaded with features and benefits you will NEVER find on any other training simulator.

Model MF200-CAV

Cavitation has the potential to cause the degradation failure of the entire hydraulic system. It is also the common cause of catastrophic pump failure.

The MF200-CAV cavitation training system is undoubtedly the most effective visual aid currently available for teaching and learning:

Model MF300-VCLS

The MF300-VCLS is an extremely versatile 2-in-1 training system designed for teaching and learning hydraulic steering and hydrostatic transmissions.

The front-end has a fully-functional

hydraulic steering system that is identical to those found on articulated machines such as front-end loaders.

Fluid Power’s Flagship:

Model MF400-HCTS

The MF400-HCTS is designed to help instructors teach and students learn how to safely and correctly perform the following skills:

Model MF500-HT-TSE

Skid-steer type loaders are today’s hydrostatic transmission training systems – you will find one in the lab of almost every technical college in the country.

Model MF600-1HP

The 1-HumanPower™, zero-emissions hydraulic training system is designed to help students clearly understand fundamental hydraulics as it relates to horsepower, flow and pressure:

NEW Electrical/Electronic Systems:

Model MF900-VETS

FPTI™ is proud to launch the most comprehensive vehicle electrical training system on the planet . . . the brilliant, all encompassing MF900-VETS.

The most compelling feature of the MF900-VETS is the respect it has for your expensive real estate. You would have to purchase at least five (5) individual trainers from one, or more, suppliers to achieve the MF900's stunning capability.

New Cutaway Demonstrator Set:

DCV-08-CM

Two-stage, 03 and 08 size valves, solenoid-controlled, pilot-operated, internal or external drain, and, sub-plate mount. The description alone is intimidating. Put this stunning cutaway model in front of any student, and in literally a few minutes you will hear the words, “I get it!”

DAC-CM

Cylinder (double-acting, single-rod)

Cylinders are relatively simple components. However, teaching and learning major and minor areas, flow intensification, pressure intensification, and seals is far easier with a fully-functional, completely transparent cylinder.

MDCV-CM

Mobile Directional Control Valve

You can try telling a student that a sectional mobile directional control valve consists of seven valves, or you can let them see for themselves.

This fully functional valve is cutaway to expose the moveable spool, anti-cavitation valves, cylinder port relief valves, and load check valves.

New Cutaway Demonstrator Set:

MDCV-LS-CM

Load-sensing Mobile Directional Control Valve

A single load-sense line is able to sense pressure in both the “A” and “B” ports of a directional control valve. Really? Sure, take a look – discussion over!

OSV-CM

Hydraulic Steering Valve (orbitrol)

A hydraulic steering valve is one of the most complex hydraulic components in existence. Due to its complexity it defies explanation and understanding with graphics or even animations – it simply cannot be done.

PORV-CM

Pilot-operated pressure relief valve

A pressure relief valve that consists of two direct operated relief valves in series, an extremely small orifice, and a drain passage that passes through the center of the balanced spool. This is something you definitely have to see to understand.

New Cutaway Demonstrator Set:

GP-CM

External Gear Pump

Cutaway models leave every component intact so students never have to guess how they work. Cutaway models also give students a realistic sense of how small clearances really are.

PCP-CM

Axial Piston, Variable Volume, Pressure-compensated Pump

The body is cutaway to expose all the internal parts. The barrel is also cutaway to expose the pistons. Even the pressure compensator is cutaway to show how the compensator works, and also how it communicates with the moveable swashplate.

VDP-CM

Over-center Pump (hydrostatic)

The housing is cut away to expose all the internal components. The barrel is also cut away through to the drive shaft. The swashplate is equipped with a handle that makes it possible to operate the swashplate. The rear mounted gerotor type charge pump features a completely transparent housing, which also exposes the charge pressure relief valve.
