A hydraulic module is provided for a materials-handling vehicle. The hydraulic module can include a mounting frame configured to mechanically connect to a frame of the vehicle but isolate the vehicle frame from vibrations occurring in the power pack. The mounting frame supports the primary components of a hydraulic energy recovery system, including, for instance, a hydraulic tank, a hydraulic pump, and an electric motor. The hydraulic energy recovery system components can be secured to the mounting frame before the mounting frame is connected to the vehicle frame. Standardized integration components such as cables, tubes, and wiring can be used to connect the module to the electrical and hydraulic systems of the vehicle. A fluid level sensor and indicator can be provided to indicate the fluid level of the hydraulic tank. Check valves can be mounted to adapter blocks to ensure low delta pressure during operation.
