What are Hydraulic Lift Tables?
Hydraulic lift tables are small, powerful elevator platforms used in construction, electrical and power service, automotive and garage service, manufacturing, painting, inventory management, telecommunications, wire and cable industries, and any other industry in which getting workpieces to above-ground locations is essential. Hydraulic lift tables range in cost from US$100 to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Tables used for typical applications cost around US$1000. Hydraulic lift tables operate on the principles of hydraulics, whereby a system of pumps and motors is used to convert hydrostatic power, or intense pressure in a fluid, into mechanical motion, or work. The fluid most commonly used in hydraulic systems is petroleum with various additives. Because fluids are highly resistant to pressurization, they can contain a tremendous amount of energy without losing very much volume. Typical fluid pressure inside hydraulic systems is 7000-42000 kilopascals (kPa). Two of the most import
