1. A system comprising:
(a) a motor having an outside periphery and an interior;
(b) a hydraulic pump comprising a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, each of the fluid inlet and fluid outlet in closed fluid communication with one or a plurality of fluid conduits, wherein the one or plurality of fluid conduits define a fluid circuit;
(c) a first coolant line defining a fluid pathway for coolant around the motor, wherein a first segment of the first coolant line is positioned along the outside periphery of the motor and a second segment of the first coolant line is positioned along the interior of the motor;
(d) a second coolant line operably connected to the first coolant line and defining the fluid pathway for coolant around the motor, wherein a first segment of the second coolant line is positioned along the interior of the motor and a second segment of the second coolant line is positioned along the outside periphery of the motor, and
(e) a container comprising at least one sidewall, a first coolant bulkhead fitting, and a second coolant bulkhead fitting, the container encompassing the motor and the hydraulic pump, wherein the first and second coolant lines extend away from the motor and pump and are operably connected to the first and second coolant bulkhead fittings positioned within the at least one sidewall,
(f) wherein the hydraulic pump and the motor are positioned proximate to each other, and wherein the motor is operably electronically connected to at least one cable that carries electricity from an electrical source to the motor.
