HydraSTX®

Variable Speed Electric Control

HydraSTX® delivers smooth, responsive hydraulic operation through advanced electric control technology. Designed for precision and ease of use, it gives operators greater command over hydraulic functions, whether in the cab or on the ground.

Advanced Electric Control Built for Every Job

HydraSTX® is a patented, next-generation hydraulic control system developed to give ranchers unmatched control over hydraulic equipment. By combining variable speed electric control with intuitive joystick operation, the system allows for precise movement and consistent performance while eliminating operator fatigue.


Traditional electric controls often feel unpredictable and frustrating, especially during precise movements. HydraSTX® offers smoother, more responsive control, so hydraulic functions move the way operators expect. This makes fine positioning or running equipment for extended periods easier to manage. With standard in-cab and the optional wireless control option, operators can work from the most practical position rather than being limited by where the controls are located.


The HydraSTX® is built to work with existing HydraBed systems since 2002, so it fits in without adding extra steps. It’s a straightforward upgrade for any HydraBed owner wanting better control and consistent hydraulic performance without changing how they already work day to day.
