Industrial Filter Carts: Portable Hydraulic and Oil Filtration Systems

Filter carts from Chase Filters & Components are self-contained, portable filtration systems designed for pre-filtering new oil before it enters a system, decontaminating existing fluid reservoirs, flushing hydraulic circuits, and performing kidney-loop filtration without taking equipment offline. Each filter cart is built on a heavy-duty steel frame with powder-coated paint, pneumatic wheels, and a built-in oil catch pan for spill containment. The dual-stage filtration design — with an automatic pressure relief valve protecting the filter elements — means our filter carts deliver cleaner fluid with fewer passes than single-stage portable filtration alternatives. Whether you’re servicing hydraulic systems on a manufacturing floor, maintaining mobile equipment in the field, or flushing a new machine before commissioning, Chase filter carts are built to handle the job.

Filtering your new and used fluids; keeping them free from moisture and particulates will extend their life and protect your equipment from wear. If you are looking for options to enhance your current lubrication reliability efforts, one tool to consider is a filter cart from Chase Filters & Components.

Portable Filtration Cart Product Details

The Chase Filters & Components oil filtration cart uses two high-capacity filters that provide long life and ensure optimal system protection. The first-stage filter captures removes water and the larger contaminants while the second-stage filter collects the fine particulates. Chase Filters’ filter carts are engineered for portability and versatility, enabling maintenance teams to decontaminate hydraulic systems, pre-filter new oil, and flush circuits without the need for fixed filtration infrastructure.

The heavy-duty frame is durable and built to last, requiring minimal maintenance and maximizing system uptime. At the same time, the unit is portable and easy to move around, as it only requires one person to operate.

These carts are ideal for filtering mineral-based industrial oils and most synthetic oils with a maximum operating viscosity range of ISO VG 680 (3000ssu/648cSt) at 100°F/38°C within ambient temperature ranges of -15°F to 150°F (-26°C to 66°C).

 What Can You Use a Filter Cart For?

Chase Filters & Component’s filter carts are versatile enough to handle virtually any portable hydraulic or oil filtration task. Common applications include:

Pre-Filtering New Oil: New hydraulic fluid and lubricating oil from the drum is not clean enough to go directly into precision hydraulic systems. Passing it through a filter cart before filling the reservoir prevents startup contamination that would otherwise occur with every fluid change.

Reservoir Decontamination: When an existing hydraulic system is contaminated by a component failure, ingressed dirt, or water, a filter cart can circulate and polish the existing fluid charge without requiring a complete drain-and-fill.

System Flushing Before Commissioning: New hydraulic circuits accumulate assembly debris, weld spatter, and manufacturing residue. Running a filter cart in flush mode clears contamination before the machine is put into service.

Kidney-Loop Continuous Polishing: Connect the filter cart as a permanent or semi-permanent kidney loop on a large-volume reservoir to continuously improve fluid cleanliness while the main system operates normally.

Used Oil Collection and Removal: Filter carts can be used in reverse to extract used oil from a reservoir into a collection container during fluid changes, replacing the need for hand pumps or manual siphoning.

Oil Sampling: With the optional sampling wand, the filter cart can be used to draw oil samples from the reservoir for ISO cleanliness analysis without introducing external contamination during the sampling process.
