Product Description

Hydraulic mobile cranes are able to lift thousands of pounds using the simple concept of Hydraulics that transmitting forces from point to point through a fluid. In essence, they work by harnessing the strength that liquid under pressure gives. The liquid, usually a Petroleum based mineral Oil, works with a system of pumps and pistons. By moving the liquid under pressure from the pumps, pistons can be extended or reduced, and when these pistons are connected to a system of levers, the pistons can be used to lift surprisingly heavy weights.

Usually, Hydraulic Fluid is used in the cylinders to create a force to move things. In a crane, when a lever type of connection is used to bridge the Crane’s column cylinder to the inner boom and inner boom cylinder to the outer boom, a mechanical linkage develops. That improves lifting loads straight up to high elevations. The links force out the boom cylinders to obtain a long lever arm, which ensures the maximum mechanical advantage between the booms and cylinders in all boom positions.
