2021 L2 Engineering Hydraulic Tools
What are hydraulic power tools ? Hydraulic power tools are powered by pressurized liquid fluid. Just like air compressors but instead of using pressurized air you use pressurized liquid.
How do hydraulic power tools work ? Hydraulic machines use a pump to pressurize hydraulic fluids, compressing it against a tool like a jack, lifting it up, and allowing the jack to hold something up, under the pressure.
What are the different types of hydraulic power tools ? Some Hydraulic power tools are manually pumped using your hands or your feet. We need to use a pump to create the pressure that goes through the hydraulic tools. Others run off mains electricity.
What is the correct type of PPE gear to use when operating hydraulic tools ? The essential PPE gear to wear in the workshop are safety glasses and ear muffs. These are a must no matter the job you are doing. Wear safety gloves when operating a hydraulic tool and also wear it to protect your hands from debris. How many types of PPE gear you wear is definitely up to what type of hydraulic tool you are using. There will always be signs around the workshop telling you what PPE gear to wear and they might also be shown on the description list of the tool.
