HyKit® Mobile Hydrogen Compressor
Fuelling Your Progress, Wherever You Work
Deployable 700 bar hydrogen refuelling and compression, engineered for the demanding needs of construction, agriculture, and beyond.
The Hydrogen Infrastructure Solution Built for Real-World Challenges
For industries like construction, agriculture, and heavy transport, the transition to clean hydrogen power has been hindered by the lack of readily available and flexible refuelling infrastructure. Permanent stations are often impractical for temporary worksites or remote locations. The HyKit® Mobile Compressor is our answer – a rugged, reliable, and cost-effective solution designed to bring high-pressure hydrogen directly to where it’s needed most, empowering the next generation of hydrogen-powered machinery and vehicles.
Unmatched Operational Advantages:
- Rapid Deployment: Deployable 20′ ISO container design ensures fast and easy setup on any accessible site, eliminating the delays and costs of permanent infrastructure.
- Versatile Refueling: Simultaneously refuel both H35-standard heavy machinery and H70-compatible vehicles, while also having the capability to fill storage trailers for enhanced on-site logistics.
- Integrated Pressure Boosting: Built-in 700 bar compression capability allows you to utilize various hydrogen sources, including lower-pressure deliveries or on-site generation, eliminating reliance solely on pre-compressed gas.
- Engineered for Tough Environments: Designed to operate reliably in a wide temperature range (-20°C to +46°C) and featuring robust hydraulic piston technology for demanding off-road conditions.
- Flexible Integration: Seamlessly integrates with your hydrogen supply strategy, accepting gas from delivered tube trailers or on-site generation systems.
- Safety & Compliance: Complies with stringent European safety standards (ATEX, PED, etc.), ensuring safe and reliable operation in regulated environments.

Powering a Wide Range of Applications
Construction Sites
Provide on-demand refuelling for hydrogen-powered excavators, loaders, telehandlers, and other construction equipment, supporting cleaner and more efficient operations.
Agricultural Operations
Enable the use of hydrogen tractors, harvesters, and other agricultural machinery directly on farms, reducing emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
Fleet Deployments
Support the initial rollout and pilot projects for hydrogen-powered trucks, buses, and commercial vehicles in locations without established refuelling stations.
Temporary Power & Events
Supply hydrogen fuel for temporary power generation and hydrogen technology demonstrations at events and remote locations.
Mobile Storage Replenishment
Act as a mobile ‘mother’ station, efficiently filling tube trailers and other mobile hydrogen storage units via the ISO connection.
The HyKit® Advantage: Reliability, Expertise, and a Vision for the Future
- The JCB Partnership Advantage: Developed in close collaboration with JCB, a world leader in heavy machinery, the HyKit® Mobile Compressor benefits from decades of engineering excellence and a deep understanding of the demanding operational environments it’s designed for. This unique synergy ensures unmatched reliability and a focus on practical, real-world needs.
- Integrated Compression & Dispensing: Unlike many mobile refueling solutions that only store and dispense, the HyKit unit features integrated high-pressure compression. This provides greater operational flexibility and the potential to utilize a wider range of hydrogen supply options directly at your site.
- Purpose-Built for Heavy Industry: The HyKit Mobile Compressor isn’t a generic solution. It’s specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of construction, agriculture, and similar heavy-duty applications, offering robust performance where it matters most.
- Part of a Growing Ecosystem: By choosing HyKit, you gain access to a comprehensive ecosystem backed by JCB, HYCAP, and HydraB Group. This means expert support, potential integration with future hydrogen-powered machinery, and a partnership dedicated to building a sustainable hydrogen future.
- Optimised for Efficiency: The 25 kg/hr flow rate is strategically chosen to efficiently refuel individual heavy machinery and smaller fleets, offering a right-sized solution that balances performance and energy consumption for its target applications.
HyKit® Mobile Compressor
The HyKit® Mobile Compressor is a deployable containerised compressor station with outlets allowing for filling of refuelling assets in parallel, filling of tube trailers, and refuelling of H35 machinery/vehicles. Compressor designed to receive gas from tube trailers or on-site generation.
