When you're shopping in hydraulics and pneumatics, the challenge isn't finding parts; it's knowing which kind of part solves the problem in front of you. Two very different hydraulic units often end up side by side in the same search results: a flow divider and a power unit. The Concentric Hydraulic Flow Divider 1300637 is built to control and regulate fluid movement inside an existing hydraulic system. The lower-priced unit in this matchup is a self-contained dump trailer power package. The price range here is $240 to $425, and the right pick depends on the role you need the component to play.
Quick Verdict
If your hydraulic system has one source of pressurized fluid and you need to divide it into multiple controlled streams, the Concentric Hydraulic Flow Divider 1300637 is the purpose-built component. If you need a ready-to-run power package for a dump trailer, the dump trailer power unit is the clearer fit. Choose on the basis of what the part will do, not the difference in price.

Where Each Product Wins
Concentric Hydraulic Flow Divider 1300637 wins when the hydraulic system needs controlled distribution to several branches. It is not about generating power; it is about regulating where the fluid goes. The dump trailer power unit wins when you need a self-contained hydraulic solution for a mobile trailer. Instead of assembling a complete package yourself, you get one unit built around the dump trailer application.
Product Notes
Concentric Hydraulic Flow Divider 1300637
The Concentric Hydraulic Flow Divider 1300637 is easy to pigeonhole: it is a flow-control component, not a power unit. Its concentric design helps keep the delivery of hydraulic fluid steady when one source needs to feed multiple branches. That is the kind of reliability you want in an industrial or commercial hydraulic circuit. As a specialist part, it is listed as New - Open box. The upside of the open-box condition is that the component is new; the catch is that the original packaging is not sealed. If your system already includes the components that create fluid pressure, the flow divider is the piece that manages where that fluid goes.
20 Quart Double Acting Hydraulic Pump 12V DC Dump Trailer Hydraulic Power Unit
The 20 Quart Double Acting Hydraulic Pump 12V DC Dump Trailer Hydraulic Power Unit comes at the job from the opposite direction. It is built as a standalone power package for a dump trailer. The metal tank holds the reservoir, the 1.6 kW motor drives the pump, and the power-up/power-down function lets you raise and lower the trailer. Connections are SAE #6, and the maximum overflow setting is 3200 PSI for port A and 1500 PSI for port B, with flow up to 0.91 GPM. A 15-foot remote pendant with two extra SAE #6 fittings is included for control from a distance. Because it is a complete power unit for a trailer, it is not the right tool for dividing flow across multiple stationary circuits. For a dump trailer that needs lift power, this unit is ready to do the job.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the Concentric Hydraulic Flow Divider 1300637 when you need precise, controlled distribution of fluid to separate branches of an existing hydraulic system. It is the component that decides where the fluid goes. Choose the dump trailer power unit when you need a complete power package for raising and lowering a dump trailer. It bundles everything needed for that task. Let the job you are trying to accomplish determine which hydraulic part belongs in your shop.
