Hydraulic lift platforms use hydraulics to move heavy components and are used in various industries. They improve worker safety and can hold a lot of energy. Components must be robust due to high pressure fluids. Hydraulic lifts are efficient and often include load sensing microprocessors.
Hydraulic lift platforms are small, powerful lift platforms used in the construction, electrical and energy services, automotive and garage services, manufacturing, painting, inventory management, telecommunications, cable and cable and any other industry where moving parts to above ground locations is essential. These tools work on the principles of hydraulics, whereby a system of pumps and motors is used to convert hydrostatic power, or intense pressure in a fluid, into mechanical motion or work. The most commonly used fluid in plumbing systems is petroleum with various additives. Because fluids are highly resistant to pressurization, they can hold a huge amount of energy without losing much volume. Typical fluid pressure within hydraulic systems is 7000-42000 kilopascals (kPa).
Two of the most important applications of hydraulic platform lifts are improving worker safety and increasing the maximum weight of any product component. The table eliminates the need for pulleys in moving heavy components. A hydraulic system is called a hydraulic circuit.
Since these devices contain high pressure fluids, their components must be very robust and resistant to damage. Even a tiny leak can release a high pressure fluid stream that can pierce human skin. Hydraulic platform lifts are equipped with pressure relief valves, should the internal pressure exceed safe levels.
As a mechanical means of transferring power, the hydraulic lift is hard to beat. A lot of mechanical power can be contained in small cylinders filled with pressurized fluid. These cylinders are usually made of steel, stainless steel or aluminum; although titanium is used in some performance variants. Hydraulic lift platforms often include features for mounting on trucks or other vehicles. Modern devices include microprocessors with load sensing that adjust pumps to operate at peak efficiency levels.
