Metro Hydraulic Jack

What Metro Hydraulic Jack does

Metro Hydraulic Jack Co. is a third-generation, family-owned industrial hydraulic equipment distributor and service center headquartered in a 20,000 sq. ft. facility at 1271 McCarter Hwy in Newark, NJ. Founded in 1941 by Murray Storch — initially repairing hydraulic jacks for the U.S. Army during World War II — the company has operated continuously for 84 years and is currently run by Barry, Michael, and Steven Storch. It functions as an authorized multi-brand distributor for Enerpac, SPX Power Team, Simplex, Stanley Infrastructure, Lincoln, Graco, and Milwaukee Cylinder, reselling hydraulic cylinders, pumps, valves, jacks (hydraulic, mechanical, and automotive), torque wrenches, presses, pullers, punches, material handling equipment, and lubrication gear to U.S. customers.

The company's product portfolio spans roughly 16 equipment categories and 5 service categories, covering cylinders in NFPA, single-acting, double-acting, lock nut, and high-tonnage variants, plus a full repair services division for cylinders, jacks, pumps, and tools, supplemented by custom hydraulic hose fabrication and tailored hydraulic/lubrication system engineering. Its underlying technology is conventional industrial hydraulics (positive-displacement pumps, directional and pressure control valves, hydraulic and mechanical actuation), with no proprietary software, AI, or digital IP described in the available data. Distribution and service are delivered from a single Newark site that includes 17,000 sq. ft. of shop/warehouse and 3,000 sq. ft. of offices.

Commercially, Metro Hydraulic generates revenue from three streams: equipment distribution (hardware sales), repair and maintenance services (professional services), and custom engineering (professional services). All pricing is quote-based with no public price list, consistent with industrial distribution norms involving variable configurations and shipping costs. Go-to-market is sales-led via a toll-free phone line, direct email, an e-commerce website with quote-request functionality, and a modest social media presence (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, WordPress blog, Google Plus). The company serves eight identified verticals — construction, manufacturing, automotive, utilities/energy, railroad/marine, material handling, municipal services, and commercial/marine/refuse — with no disclosed end-customer logos or named accounts.
