240v single phase power packs
In addition to the 12vDC & 24vDC range of YBZ6 power packs we can now offer a 240v single phase option from stock which has the same flexibility.
The power pack comes as standard with a 1.5KW electric motor S1 rated and with a 2.1cc pump and 6L oil tank but can be quickly and easily reconfigured with different pump sizes and oil tank sizes and different circuit options.
With prices starting from £158.00 these are the most competitive single power packs on the market.
EZ Cover system launched at Spatex 2019
The EZ Cover system was launched at Spatex 2019 this week and was widely acclaimed to be one of the most innovative new products at the event generating a lot of interest right across the spa pool industry.
The EZ cover is highly differentiated from its peers offering a convenient, safe and efficient system for opening and closing the cover on a spa pool.
EZ Cover – Spa & Hot Tub Hydraulic Cover
EZ Cover design and development

C&C Hydraulics were approached by a leading supplier of Swim spas and hot tubs to look at developing an automated cover system to open and close the spas.
Traditionally these products use covers made from high density polystyrene vacuum wrapped in polythene and then covered in a leatherette type material, they are generally made to fold over on themselves to ease handling. Because of the size of even a small hot tub the manual handling of these covers can be difficult and can be a 2 man job in some circumstances. The larger swim spas are even more difficult to open and close and in most cases do require two persons to carry out this function.
Working closely with the client C&C have now designed a system with two variants that allow both swim spa and hot tub covers to be automatically opened and closed. The new product has the trade name of the EZ Cover , the variants are the Astra for the swim spa system and the Luna for the hot tub version. Both products are powered hydraulically and controlled via a blue tooth control with a customised APP so can be operated from any smart phone or tablet which has Android or IOS operating system.
The new EZ Cover systems utilise a one piece high density foam board which is sandwiched between a GRP outer skin, this material gives a high level of insulation and it’s rigidity makes it easier for the system to work. The 2 hydraulically powered arms are driven by 2 independent micro power packs so keeping both arms completely synchronised throughout the operation, the system has a number of safety features including sensing switches mounted to each arm and a panic button that can be mounted inside the spa. A patent has been applied for to cover the geometry and how the mechanism actually lifts and rotates the covers in one motion.
C&C Hydraulics are now offering a new design of DC power packs for snow plough applications.
The new design controls the raise and lower of the plough and also offers a floating position whilst a secondary valve controls the snow plough angling function. The pack has been designed with all the valves integrated onto one manifold so making it very compact and light.

Micro power packs
C&C Hydraulics can now offer a new range of micro 12 & 24 volt DC power packs with double acting functionality.
These power packs are much more compact than traditional DC power packs allowing them to be installed into tight spaces, they are also lighter so offer a weight saving. This range of power packs utilises the Cetop 2 directional valve mounted directly onto the centre block keeping the product modular and allowing it to be easily configured.
We can offer a range of vertical and horizontal mount plastic oil tanks from 1L – 3L and a range gear pumps starting at 0.25cc / rev through to 0.8cc / rev so can vary the build to suit the application.
