What CV5 does

miniBOOSTER Hydraulics A/S (operating under the DBAs miniBOOSTER and historically Iversen Hydraulics ApS) is a privately held Danish manufacturer founded on January 1, 1994, headquartered at Fynsgade 3, DK-6400 Sønderborg. The company designs and produces oscillating hydraulic pressure intensifiers that mount on low-pressure hydraulic systems and automatically amplify system pressure to a higher outlet pressure, stalling on end-pressure and continuously compensating for oil consumption. Its product line spans standard oil boosters (HC1-HC9), high-pressure variants (HC4H, HC8H, HC6H, HC8H), cartridge versions, parallel configurations (P2/P3), units with integrated control valves (HC21-HC75W), stainless-steel variants (HCxW), dual-media boosters (HCxD2), and manifold-mounted intensifier systems (M-HC series), plus accessories such as the CV5 valve housing. The portfolio covers 13 intensification factors, pressures up to 5,000 bar, and flows up to 400 l/min, and works with almost any fluid media including tap water.

The company's customer base is industrial rather than consumer, spanning bolt tensioning (including wind-turbine bolt tensioning at 1,500 bar), oil and gas subsea tooling, offshore and critical underwater applications, mobile equipment such as aerial lifts, cranes, demolitions, and stone crushers, plus railroad, rescue equipment, rock and stone splitting, torque wrenches, and workholding. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; products ship directly from the Sønderborg factory to OEMs and resellers through a global distribution network, with over 95% of turnover from exports and over 90% of orders shipped within one to two business days worldwide. miniBOOSTER holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, has received the Danish Gazelle Prize six times (most recently in 2024 during its 30th anniversary), and maintains a maintained EU/US chemical-compliance portfolio (REACH, RoHS, PFAS, POPs, TSCA, Proposition 65, EU Packaging). Operations are run by a stable team with average tenure above 12 years, led by President Christen Espersen and Chairman Mads-Peter Clausen.

Core offering

CV5 is a valve housing accessory manufactured by miniBOOSTER Hydraulics A/S that mounts directly onto hydraulic pressure intensifiers to integrate a counterbalance valve, saving space and reducing cost. Made from aluminum with a maximum pressure rating of 207 bar and weighing from 0.6 kg, the CV5 enables fast-forward cylinder movement by directing full inlet flow through the intensifier until set pressure is reached. It is sold as part of miniBOOSTER's broader portfolio of oscillating hydraulic pressure intensifiers covering 13 intensification factors up to 5,000 bar and flows up to 400 l/min, distributed globally to industrial, mobile, offshore and subsea equipment manufacturers.

Product overview

miniBOOSTER Hydraulics A/S is a Danish manufacturer of oscillating hydraulic pressure intensifiers, offering the only complete full range of hydraulic intensifying solutions on the market. The product portfolio includes: standard boosters (HC series from HC1 to HC9, including HC4H and HC8H high-pressure variants), cartridge boosters (HC1-9 to HC7-9), parallel boosters (P2/P3 series), boosters with control valves (HC21 to HC75W), stainless steel versions (HCxW series), dual media boosters (HCxD2 series), intensifier systems (M-HC series for manifold mounting), and the CV5 valve housing accessory for counterbalance valve mounting. The range covers pressure up to 5,000 bar, flows up to 400 l/min, and 13 intensification factors, supporting almost any fluid media including tap water. Products are distributed globally through a worldwide distribution network.
