Often at work in both industrial applications (including hydraulic presses, cranes, forges, and packing machines), and mobile applications (such as agricultural machines, construction vehicles, and marine equipment). They’re essential to the operation of excavators, loaders, balers, telehandlers, man-lifts, drill-rigs, and dump trucks—not to mention operating booms, arms, lifts, platforms, and buckets. Hydraulic cylinders are the most effective and efficient method of pushing, pulling, lifting and lowering. When compared with pneumatic, mechanical or electric systems, hydraulics can be simpler, more durable, and offer greater power density.
