Q: What types of hydraulic pumps are best for heavy-duty truck maintenance?

A: Select hydraulic pumps with high PSI capacities and durable reservoirs for heavy-duty maintenance, like our 10,000 PSI models. Look for features that match your specific needs, such as corrosion resistance for longevity and two-speed designs for faster operation.

Q: How do I know what size hydraulic pump I need for a heavy-duty truck?

A: To select the appropriate hydraulic pump size for a heavy-duty truck, calculate the system’s required flow rate and pressure and consider the operational speed and volume needed. Opt for a hydraulic pump that exceeds these requirements slightly to compensate for any efficiency losses. You will also want to factor in potential system expansions. Your chosen pump should deliver adequate power without excessive energy consumption or inefficiency.

Q: What safety features should I consider in hydraulic pumps for fleet operations?

A: Safety features are paramount. Look for hydraulic pumps with built-in pressure relief valves to prevent over-pressurization and ensure pumps have a sturdy, leak-proof construction. Models like our air/hydraulic power units are designed with internal relief settings and dust cover protection for control valves, offering enhanced safety during operation.
