Explanation:
"het hydraulisch kan twee verbruikers aandrijven" seems incomplete and not proper to me. First of all there seems to be a word missing in this sentence as hydraulisch is an adjective. Hydraulic what?

For what it's worth, I think the sentence should be translated to:

There are two hydrostatic energy consumers, a hydromotor and a hydraulic cylinder.

I think that I'm assuming a little too much with this translation, however, so perhaps it is best to check with the client what was really intended with the sentence.

After the note of the asker I would change the sentence to:

The hydraulic aggregate can power two energy consumers: a hydromotor and a hydraulic cylinder.
