Hydraulics for drawbridges and other moveable structures, including public works.

About Moveable Structures

MFP Automation Engineering is proud to be a trusted hydraulic supplier for moveable structure projects, including drawbridges. For example, we were a subcontractor and valued partner for the Michigan Street Lift Bridge in Milwaukee, WI.

For this public works project, we supplied a custom-built hydraulic power unit, a directional control manifold, and four large Parker cylinders. We also installed all of the associated plumbing.

The Michigan Street Lift Bridge is just one example of our expertise in moveable structure projects.
