A hydraulic lift moves objects using the force created by pressure on a liquid inside a cylinder that moves a piston upward.
The principle for hydraulic lifts is based on Pascal‘s law for generating force or motion, which states that pressure change on an incompressible liquid in a confined space is passed equally throughout the liquid in all directions.
Hydraulic lifts provide controlled and precision force.
The sturdy and durable design of hydraulic lifts has made them popular in a wide variety of industries.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) have specific requirements regarding the operation of hydraulic lifts and training for operators.
Lift tables have become popular as work surfaces that can be positioned at the exact height necessary to package, assemble, organize, or position items.
