Hydraulics tools

25th Feb 2021



What are the hydraulic tools:

Hydraulic tools are high-powered tools that pressurized fluid to operate hydraulic machinery.

How do they work?

Hydraulic systems work by using pressurized fluid to power an engine. These hydraulic presses put pressure on a small amount of fluid in order to generate a large amount of power. ... That pressure forces it against a piston on the other side of the container.


What safety precaution do you need to take?
Safe hydraulic system performance requires general maintenance.
  • Periodically check for oil leaks and worn hoses.
  • Keep contaminants from hydraulic oil and replace filters periodically.
  • Coat cylinder rods with protective lubricants to avoid rusting.



How to maintain them:
  1. Change the (could be the return or pressure filter) hydraulic filter.
  2. Obtain a hydraulic fluid sample.
  3. Filter hydraulic fluid.
  4. Check hydraulic actuators.
  5. Clean the inside of a hydraulic reservoir.
  6. Clean the outside of a hydraulic reservoir.
