Two-speed pumps provide faster cylinder extension under low load, then switch to high-pressure output under load.

A single-speed hydraulic hand pump delivers the same flow rate throughout operation. A two-speed hand pump has a high-flow, low-pressure stage for quickly advancing the cylinder, and a low-flow, high-pressure stage for lifting the load once resistance increases. Two-speed pumps are often preferred for lifting and jacking because they reduce pumping time and improve efficiency on the job site. Hydraulic Rentals can help select the correct pump type based on your load and stroke requirements.
