🛢️ Hydraulic Cylinders
Low profile cylinders fit into spaces where standard cylinders cannot.
A hydraulic pull cylinder is a specialized hydraulic cylinder designed to generate pulling force.
Selection depends on capacity, stroke, and application requirements.
Renting provides access to specialized lifting equipment without significant ownership costs.
Yes. Many low profile cylinders are available in very high capacities.
Yes. Hydraulic pumps, hoses, gauges, and accessories can all be included.
Yes. They typically operate using external hydraulic pumps.
🔧 Jacks & Mechanical Lifting
Some do, while others have integrated pumping systems.
They are widely used in manufacturing, construction, maintenance, and infrastructure projects.
Freyssi flat jacks are used for low-clearance hydraulic lifting and structural load transfer applications.
Yes. Hydraulic steel jacks are widely used for high tonnage lifting operations.
Yes. Tie-back anchoring is a common application for monostrand stressing systems.
Selection depends on load weight, lift height, and project requirements.
Strand jacks provide higher capacities, greater stroke lengths, and improved control for large lifting projects.
Renting provides access to the correct rail lifting equipment without ownership costs.
⚡ Pumps & Power Units
Renting provides access to specialized bolting equipment without ownership cost and maintenance.
Gas Hydraulic Pumps are typically mounted in protective steel frames with lifting points or wheels for jobsite mobility.
Gas Hydraulic Pumps are well suited for remote job sites because they operate independently of electrical or air supply systems while maintaining full hydraulic pressure control.
Yes. They are commonly used during industrial shutdowns and maintenance operations.
They are used for lifting, testing, maintenance, shutdown, bolting, and hydraulic service applications.
Yes, when properly configured and used with the correct rated equipment and safety procedures.
Renting saves cost and ensures you get the correct pump configuration for each project.
They can. Hydraulic Rentals offers complete rental kits with hoses, gauges, and compatible fittings.
↕️ Heavy Lifting Systems
Strand jacks are used for lifting, lowering, and positioning extremely heavy loads with precision and control.
For specialized applications, custom-configured hydraulic systems are often more efficient and practical.
Synchronous lifting systems are used for multi-point lifting where loads must remain level and controlled.
They are used for moving heavy industrial equipment and oversized structural components.
Yes. They are commonly used during industrial shutdowns and maintenance operations.
They inflate with compressed air to create lifting force beneath a load.
Renting provides access to properly configured hydraulic systems without ownership costs.
Yes, strand jack systems are available for rental for specialized heavy lifting projects.
🔩 Torque, Stressing & Testing
For specialized applications, custom-configured hydraulic systems are often more efficient and practical.
They can. Hydraulic Rentals can supply complete stressing system packages with pumps, gauges, hoses, and accessories.
Geokon load cells are designed for high accuracy in professional engineering applications.
It is required to confirm anchor performance, meet inspection standards, and reduce structural risk.
Hydraulic torque wrenches are used to tighten and loosen large bolts and nuts with controlled torque output.
They are used for measuring load, not lifting.
They can leave grip marks, but they are designed to hold securely without causing major structural damage.
Hydraulic nut splitters are used to remove seized or damaged nuts by splitting them for easy removal.
🧰 Hydraulic Tools & Systems
They can if used incorrectly, but controlled hydraulic pulling reduces damage risk compared to impact methods.
Yes. Air lifting bags are widely used by rescue and recovery teams.
Air lifting bags are specialty lifting tools that many contractors only need occasionally.
Air lifting bags work well in low-clearance areas and provide more even lifting force.
Renting provides access to the correct cutting tool for each job without purchasing multiple specialty cutters.
Yes. They are commonly used to verify the bolt tension produced by impact tools.
Yes. Many hydraulic pullers are designed for tight access maintenance environments.
Yes. Most hydraulic cutters require a pump such as a hand pump, electric pump, air pump, or gasoline pump.
