What Comercial Hidromobile does

Comercial Hidromobile is a privately held Chilean company founded in 1996, headquartered in Pudahuel, Santiago, with a regional office in Concepción. It rents and sells specialized construction equipment for height-work applications, operating a fleet of 500+ units including Comansa Flat Top tower cranes, Alimak/Alba/Shenxi elevators and hoists, Cummins- and Stamford-powered soundproof generators (plus Daewoo units for sale), Alba PEC rack-and-pinion platforms, Shenxi and Rigid electric hanging scaffolds, safety nets certified to UNE-EN 1263 and NCh2458, and Navigator off-road forklift cranes. The company serves major Chilean general contractors and developers — including EBCO, Besalco, Bersa, Moller & Pérez Cotapos, Ingevec, Echeverría Izquierdo, and Icafal — as well as healthcare and industrial buyers such as Hospital Clínico de Marcoleta.

Revenue is generated through project-based equipment rentals, equipment sales (Daewoo generators, Alimak/Alba elevators), technical services (installation, maintenance, 24/7 support, ATS/synchronization), and the Power System sub-brand offering generator sales, rental, electrical installation, maintenance, load testing, and commissioning. Pricing is quote-based on multi-year contracts, and the go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting construction and infrastructure accounts. The company holds ISO 9001, PEC Competitivo, and OHSAS 18001 certifications and partners globally with Comansa, Alimak, Alba, Shenxi, Kleemann, Cummins, Stamford, Daewoo, and Navigator.

In April 2024 Hidromobile merged with tower-crane specialist EBCO Maquinarias, and it operates Hidrolifts as a joint venture with Kleemann Lifts launched in June 2018. The company has stated intent to expand into Peru and Argentina and to add a northern Chile branch, while the Power System brand extends reach into healthcare, mining, retail, and agriculture. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or external institutional investors.
