The pump size depends on cylinder capacity, stroke length, and oil volume requirements.
The pump size depends on cylinder capacity, stroke length, and oil volume requirements.
Selecting the correct hydraulic hand pump depends on the oil volume required to fully extend the cylinder and the pressure required to lift the load. A larger cylinder with a long stroke requires more hydraulic oil volume, meaning the pump must have sufficient reservoir capacity. In addition, higher tonnage applications require the pump to achieve higher pressure levels. Hydraulic Rentals can help determine the correct pump and reservoir size based on your cylinder specifications and jobsite requirements.
