The hand pump offers controlled cylinder advance, but may require many hand pump strokes in longer stroke applications when the cylinder capacity is 25 ton or above. Cylinder Applies hydraulic force. Cylinder Base Plate For applications such as lifting where additional cylinder stability is required. Pump Provides hydraulic flow. Hose Transports hydraulic fluid. Male Coupler For quick connection of the hose to system components. Female Coupler For quick connection of the hose end to the system components. Gauge To monitor pressure of the hydraulic circuit. Gauge Adaptor For quick and easy gauge installation. Swivel Connector Allows proper alignment of valves and/or gauges. Used when units being connected cannot be rotated. One Single-Acting Cylinder and Air Pump Setup (One point lift)     Single-acting cylinder with longer stroke used for lifting applications. Cylinder Applies hydraulic force. Cylinder Base Plate For applications such as lifting where additional cylinder stability is required. Pump Provides hydraulic flow. Hose Transports hydraulic fluid. Male Coupler For quick connection of the hose to system components. Female Coupler For quick connection of the hose end to the system components. Gauge To monitor pressure of the hydraulic circuit. Gauge Adaptor For quick and easy gauge installation. Swivel Connector Allows proper alignment of valves and/or gauges. Used when units being connected cannot be rotated. One Double-Acting Cylinder and Electric Pump Setup (One point lift)     Double-acting Cylinder set-up used for lifting applications where a slow controlled descent of the load must be maintained. Cylinder Applies hydraulic force. Cylinder Base Plate For applications such as lifting where additional cylinder stability is required. Pump Provides hydraulic flow. Hose Transports hydraulic fluid. Male Coupler For quick connection of the hose to system components. Female Coupler For quick connection of the hose end to the system components. Gauge To monitor pressure of the hydraulic circuit. Gauge Adaptor For quick and easy gauge installation. Swivel Connector Allows proper alignment of valves and/or gauges. Used when units being connected cannot be rotated. Auto-Damper Valve V-10 Used to protect gauge from damage due to sudden pulses in the system. Needs no adjustment and allows correct positioning of gauge, prior to tightening. 4-Way Directional Control Valve Controls the direction of hydraulic fluid in a double-acting system. 3-Way Directional Control Valve Controls the direction of hydraulic fluid in a single-acting system. Safety Holding Valve Controls load descent in lifting applications. Two Double-Acting Cylinders and Electric Pump Setup (Two point push/pull application)     Double-acting cylinder set-up used in a push/pull application. Cylinder Applies hydraulic force. Cylinder Base Plate For applications such as lifting where additional cylinder stability is required. Pump Provides hydraulic flow. Hose Transports hydraulic fluid. Male Coupler For quick connection of the hose to system components. Female Coupler For quick connection of the hose end to the system components. Gauge To monitor pressure of the hydraulic circuit.

Safety Holding Valve Controls load descent in lifting applications. Manifold Allows distribution of hydraulic fluid from one power source to several cylinders. Needle valve Regulates the flow of hydraulic fluid to or from the cylinders. Two Single-Acting Cylinder and Electric Pump Setup (Two point lift)     Two point lifting set-up using single-acting cylinders. Cylinder Applies hydraulic force. Cylinder Base Plate For applications such as lifting where additional cylinder stability is required. Pump Provides hydraulic flow. Hose Transports hydraulic fluid.

Safety Holding Valve Controls load descent in lifting applications. Manifold Allows distribution of hydraulic fluid from one power source to several cylinders. Needle valve Regulates the flow of hydraulic fluid to or from the cylinders. Four Single-Acting Cylinders and Electric Pump Setup (Four point lift)     Four point lifting set-up, using single-acting cylinders, flow control valves and safety valves. Cylinder Applies hydraulic force. Cylinder Base Plate For applications such as lifting where additional cylinder stability is required. Pump Provides hydraulic flow. Hose Transports hydraulic fluid. Male Coupler For quick connection of the hose to system components. Female Coupler For quick connection of the hose end to the system components. Gauge To monitor pressure of the hydraulic circuit.
