Quality and Reliability from People You Can Trust!
In the Gulf Coast industrial sector, downtime isn't an option. Since 2003, our Lake Charles facility has served as a central hub for industrial partners—from local regional plants to international operations. We deliver comprehensive machining, reverse engineering, and custom equipment manufacturing under one roof to streamline your vendor list and keep your operations moving.
What we do
Comprehensive industrial solutions, reverse engineering, and custom equipment manufacturing—all handled under one roof in Lake Charles to minimize your downtime and reduce your administrative overhead.
When Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) backlogs threaten to stall your operations, our in-house precision machining keeps you online. Guided by our team of craftsmen, we handle complex CNC and manual machining. From milling heavy alloys to plate rolling and final assembly, our team executes the entire project right here in Lake Charles, eliminating the need to juggle multiple subcontractors.
Don’t let an obsolete or undocumented part shut down your line. We capture the critical dimensions and reverse-engineer an exact replacement or an upgraded design. Leveraging our in-house CAD modeling and machining capabilities, we bypass global supply chain headaches to deliver ready-to-install components when original drawings are long gone.
Managing separate contractors for one build wastes time and budget. Our custom welding and fabrication crews work shoulder-to-shoulder with our machinists to deliver structural frames, skids, platforms, and heavy equipment bases. Whether working from your engineered drawings or helping you design a practical solution from scratch, we manage the cutting, forming, and final welding through a single, highly coordinated shop.
Heavy-duty equipment requires heavy-duty reliability. We handle complete hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder rebuilds for industrial, oilfield, and heavy construction applications. When standard replacement parts aren't cutting it, we don't wait around. We reverse engineer and manufacture fully custom cylinders, replacement rods, and glands in-house to get your iron back in the dirt or your line back in production.
Consider us a direct extension of your facility’s internal maintenance team. Beyond just putting out fires, our comprehensive repair and mechanical rebuild services are built to support the long-term operational stability of regional plants and job sites. With machining, welding, and mechanical repair under one roof, we tackle complex machinery rebuilds without piecemealing your project out to different zip codes.
When things grind to a halt, our fully equipped service trucks and diagnostic technicians are on the ground, ready to troubleshoot. We partner with regional refineries and chemical plants to execute preventative maintenance agreements and smooth out planned facility turnarounds. If an on-site fix requires heavy machining, our field techs coordinate directly with the Lake Charles shop for a seamless, turnkey turnaround.
We build heavy-duty custom equipment that gets deployed globally—from the U.S. to China, India, and South America. We take your project from a napkin sketch through engineering, hydraulic integration, and final testing. Whether it’s a specialized coiled tubing unit or a custom equipment skid, PH delivers a turnkey manufacturing solution built to world-class standards, right here in Louisiana.

Who we are
Founded in 2003 right here in Lake Charles, Power Hydraulics was built on a foundation of hard work and unyielding reliability by owners Ricky Rigmaiden and Tom Choate. What started as a dedicated hydraulic repair shop has evolved into a full-spectrum industrial partner.
Today, backed by in-house engineering and that same hands-on leadership, we deliver custom equipment and vital industrial services across the Gulf Coast and internationally. We execute complex projects for operations spanning the U.S., China, India, and South America. Whether you need a single obsolete part reverse-engineered or a turnkey maintenance partnership to keep your plant online, our team is built to handle it under one roof. We deliver world-class industrial solutions, anchored by our Louisiana roots.
