Fields in which hydraulic equipment is used

Engineering

The need for custom made equipment is a constant factor in the field of engineering. Continuous change and growth in industry always requires new methods of achieving goals, when engineering a solution hydraulics are often considered because of the flexibility, and strength.

Manufacturing

The highly flexible nature of hydraulic systems makes it an ideal component of the manufacturing process. Robotic arms can benefit from hydraulic pressure in the automation of the manufacturing process.

Mining

Pressure which can be generated to drive a hydraulic hammer are enough to break through solid rock making this an ideal means of mining and of underground exploration.

Construction

Used in the excavation of a building site through back-hoes and bulldozers, through to various pieces of digging equipment and as a means of hoisting building materials onto elevated platforms hydraulic strength is a definite benefit to the construction industry.

Gas and Oil mining and refinery

Hydraulic equipment is used in the mining and collection of oil from inland and sea based rigs. The systems are used in the collection and in the distribution of collected oils and gas. The smooth movement of the hydraulic systems are often crucial especially when volatile gases are being mined or moved.

Farming

Not confined to the factory floor or the darkness of a mine shaft, the dexterity that can be achieved with hydraulics is being applied to farming to a greater degree. Where previously the farming aspect of a hydraulic system was fairly limited to things like seed conveyance the increased dexterity has allowed some farms to start experimenting with harvesting and picking of delicate crops such as berries.
