Basic structure of hydraulic lifting equipment

Hydraulic lifting equipment has become an indispensable part of modern industries today, from manufacturing and construction to logistics and transportation. To better understand the basic structure of hydraulic lifting equipment, the article below will introduce you to the components that make up a typical hydraulic system.

What does the structure of hydraulic lifting equipment include?

Hydraulic lifting equipment operates based on the principle of hydraulic transmission, using hydraulic oil as the energy transmission medium. The structure of hydraulic lifting equipment consists of many parts, each with its own function, working together to create lifting force and move goods.

Below is the basic structure of a hydraulic system:

Hydraulic pump

• Function: Suctions oil from the reservoir and creates pressure to push oil into the system.
• Classification: Gear pumps, vane pumps, piston pumps, etc., depending on pressure and flow requirements.

Hydraulic motor

• Function: Converts hydraulic energy (oil pressure and flow) into mechanical energy for rotation or linear motion.
• Application: Used to move forklifts, rotate cranes, lift platforms, etc.

Hydraulic cylinder

• Function: Converts hydraulic energy into linear force, performing reciprocating motion.
• Structure: Includes cylinder tube, piston, piston rod, seals, etc.
• Classification: Single-acting cylinders (push only) and double-acting cylinders (push and pull).

Hydraulic valves

• Function: Controls the flow of hydraulic oil, adjusts pressure, changes flow direction, etc.
• Classification: Relief valves, flow control valves, directional valves, check valves, etc.

Hydraulic hoses

• Function: Carries hydraulic oil from the pump to the motor, cylinder, and other parts.
• Material: Usually made of high-pressure resistant steel or reinforced synthetic materials.

Oil filter

• Function: Removes debris and impurities in hydraulic oil, protecting the system from damage.

Oil reservoir

• Function: Stores hydraulic oil and dissipates heat from the oil.

Other components

• Fittings: Connects hydraulic hoses together.
• Sensors: Monitors pressure, temperature, oil level, etc.
• Control system: Controls the operation of the equipment.

In addition to the above parts, the structure of hydraulic lifting equipment also includes mechanical components such as:

• Lifting frame: Bears the load and supports the goods.
• Forks: Supports pallets or goods.
• Crane hook: Hangs and lifts/lowers goods.
• Cables: Pulls and lifts/lowers goods.
• Wheels: Moves the equipment.

The detailed structure of hydraulic lifting equipment may vary depending on the type of equipment (forklifts, lift tables, dock levelers, etc.) and the manufacturer.

Conclusion

Understanding the structure of lifting equipment will help users operate the devices safely and efficiently, while also supporting maintenance, servicing, and troubleshooting.
