What are the typical uses for hydraulic power packs? Mobile hydraulic systems have been growing so much in recent years with the advent of hydraulic power packs. Some typical uses are as follows; mobile heavy machinery trucks, dump trucks, telephone electric platforms, cable plows, cable trucks, telephone electric winches, forklifts, scissor lifts, and forklift palletizers. This is just a partial list of the many mobile hydraulic systems that are out there. What do you think makes them unique? Well the Hydraulic Power Pack can move anything.
A few words about using a hydraulic power pack; the actual hydraulic system itself, called a positive displacement pump, supplies hydraulic fluid to the piston, cylinder, or ball from the hydraulic reservoir to the pump, this is typically a closed loop. The hydraulic power pack or cylinder also supplies hydraulic fluid to the piston, thus starting the cycle over again. The open end of the system allows pressure to build inside the hydraulic reservoir, this creates a vacuum, this vacuum helps move the fluid through the pipes to the outlet of the machine.
So, if you are looking to purchase an industrial unit you should ask your supplier about the pressure supply lines and the hydraulic power pack itself. You also want to know how the components fit together. Finally you may need to find out about mounting accessories, such as fluid carriers, fluid lines, fluid feeders, air return lines, etc. Remember, do not purchase a unit without all the required components.
