Hytrans

About us

Where innovation meets impact. How? By leveraging our many years of experience in disaster response and large-scale water transport, we integrate proven expertise into our daily operations and drive continuous innovation.

Pioneer of hydraulically driven mobile pumps

Founded in 1964, Hytrans began as a service company specializing in diesel-powered and hydraulically operated machinery. In the early 1980s, we revolutionized the industry by developing an innovative pump system, now known as the HydroSub, featuring diesel-powered, hydraulically driven submersible floating pumps.

Building on this breakthrough, Hytrans expanded its expertise and developed the Hytrans Fire System (HFS), a globally recognized large-scale firefighting solution.

Today, Hytrans is the global benchmark for high-capacity mobile water transport systems, providing reliable, high-performance solutions for industrial firefighting, flood control, wildfire suppression, emergency cooling, oil spill response, dewatering, and emergency water supply. With decades of innovation and experience, Hytrans continues to set the standard for emergency water transport systems worldwide.

Our mission: to minimize the impact of large-scale disasters

Emergencies and natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe, threatening lives, ecosystems, and infrastructure worldwide. As industrial activity expands and climate change intensifies extreme weather events, the need for rapid, reliable disaster response has never been greater.

At Hytrans, our mission is clear: to prevent and minimize the impact of incidents and large-scale disasters. We do this by innovating, designing, and producing advanced mobile water transport systems that empower emergency services, civil defense, and fire brigades worldwide with high-capacity, rapid-response solutions when it matters most.

Hytrans goes beyond incident and disaster management. We engineer solutions that mitigate consequences, protect communities, and help build resilience in an increasingly unpredictable world.

Flexibility is key at Hytrans because each emergency risk may require its own dedicated solution.

Reducing our environmental footprint

At Hytrans, our commitment goes beyond saving lives and protecting communities; we also strive to minimize our environmental impact through continuous innovation and sustainable practices. Here’s how we make a difference:

  • Material reuse & responsible waste management
    We integrate material reuse into our production process and ensure waste is carefully separated and recycled, reducing landfill disposal.
  • Harnessing solar power
    Our headquarters in Lemmer, the Netherlands, is equipped with solar panels that harness renewable energy to power our daily operations and reduce our carbon footprint.
  • Sustainable mobility
    To further reduce emissions, we have invested in a hybrid and electric vehicle fleet, ensuring sustainable travel for our team during daily operations.
  • HVO100 Diesel in our HydroSub units
    Since September 1, 2026, our new units have been using HVO100 diesel. HVO100 can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 90%. Hytrans has made a conscious decision to use HVO100 going forward.
  • Reusable transport packaging
    We have developed a reusable rack system for material transport, significantly reducing single-use packaging and improving logistics efficiency.

At Hytrans, sustainability is an ongoing commitment. We continue to explore new ways to reduce our environmental footprint, ensuring that our solutions not only protect people but also preserve the planet.
