Lifting Pumps

A hydraulic lifting pump is a high pressured hydraulic pump that provides controlled flow of hydraulic oil to hydraulic lifting cylinders.

What determines how much can be lifted does not have to do with the pump, but more so the tonnage capacity of the hydraulic cylinders you are working with. You must always make sure there is enough oil capacity in the pump to fill the cylinders and hoses when operating.

Hydraulic hand pumps are the most common range of pumps used. These typically operate at 10,000 PSI and require a lever arm to be pumped in order to build pressure.

Although both styles pumps are suitable options for delivering 10,000 PSI to a tool, your application should determine which style pump you should use. The manual style pumps are good for the smaller range of cylinders for a quick and mobile set up. When you start working with multiple cylinders at once or if you are working with very large cylinders due to the oil capacity of the pump and the volume that the pump is able to produce, you will want to look at the powered pump options.
