Hydraulic equipment has become a staple in the building and construction sector, giving contractors and developers an alternative to pneumatic tools. Hydro has listed the advantages of hydraulic equipment that indicates why they might be the superior choice of tools in the market today.
1. Power-Packed Performance
Hydraulic equipment works in a closed circuit with no exhaust ports. Compressed hydraulic oil transfers more energy as compared to compressed air. The increased power usage shortens the delivery of work, while enhancing productivity rate. It is an added luxury that allows contractors and developers to move onto the next task or job.
Unlike pneumatic tools, hydraulic equipment can be used in cold weather applications. Applicators are assured of a swift operation without the hassle of the system becoming frozen. The closed system used in hydraulic provides high performance even in wet conditions.
2. Flexibility in Small Packages
Hydraulic systems are more compact, easy to handle and transport. They can easily be picked up and placed on the back of a truck or van. Moving hydraulics from one location to another only requires manual wheeling or lifting. Hydraulics can be used conveniently in an internal application, or where there is limited space available. While pneumatics often need mechanical assistance for handling and transferring.
3. Reduced Operating Costs
The combined power-packed performance and compact system lead to reduced fuel usage while maximising its functionality. Hydraulics also keep maintenance to a minimum with its self-lubricating feature and relatively few moving parts.
4. Operational Safety
The hydraulic oil used in the system is a poor conductor of electricity. It is considered electrically safer, compared to air compressors, where the hose might develop condensed moisture along the hose's lining. Its lubricated hose reduces the noise level to an acceptable level, which is not possible with air compressors and exhaust ports. Hydraulic equipment is ergonomically designed and manufactured. They are available in compact sizes and performs with greater energy efficiency.
