Why you should use Hydraulic Power Tools

The most powerful, versatile and reliable power source.

Why Should I Use Hydraulics?

Hydraulic power tools get the job done faster and they are known to be reliable and cost-efficient solutions.

When you press the trigger on a hydraulic breaker, you will immediately feel the powerful energy transmission of hydraulic tools. With a 9-horsepower power pack the breaker delivers power equal to that of a 20-horsepower diesel compressor engine.

Hydraulic works in a closed loop preventing dirt and moisture from entering the system. This greatly increases the overall lifetime and reliability of the tools – they always work when you need them! Moreover, maintenance is kept to an absolute minimum due to very few moving parts and the sturdy design of the tools.

Power tools are often needed in a challenging environment. Our power pack fit in an ordinary van, it’s easy to move, and it only takes two people to carry it.

This makes it an ideal solution for professionals on the move in need of a lot of power to get the job done effectively, and at the same time want to be independent of any external power source.

Hydraulic tools can be connected to a range of different power sources such as excavators, trucks, skid-steers and tractors. Great for quick one-day jobs: fencing, braking up paving for cables or piping.

For the price of one compressor and breaker you can buy two complete hydraulic power pack / breaker packages, guaranteeing you up to 85 % lower operation costs.

Hydraulic Technology FAQ

How does a hydraulic system generate power?

Hydraulic systems generate power by using pressurized fluid, which is directed through a series of valves and cylinders to create linear or rotary force. This force is then harnessed to drive pistons, motors, or other components.

How do hydraulic tools maintain consistent performance under varying loads?

Hydraulic tools maintain consistent performance due to their closed-loop system, where the flow and pressure of hydraulic fluid are continuously regulated. This allows the tools to adapt to changing loads and deliver steady power output.

What challenges do hydraulic systems face in extreme temperatures?

In extreme cold, hydraulic fluids can thicken, reducing flow and efficiency. In high temperatures, seals can degrade, and the fluid can become too thin, leading to leaks. Specialized hydraulic fluids and temperature-resistant seals help mitigate these challenges.

What types of fluids are used in hydraulic power packs?

Hydraulic power packs use specially formulated hydraulic oils designed for specific pressure ranges, temperatures, and operating conditions. These oils are selected based on their viscosity, lubricity, and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Click this box to see applicable oil types for our power packs.

How does fluid contamination impact hydraulic tool performance?

Contaminants like dirt, water, or metal particles can damage seals, valves, and cylinders, reducing tool efficiency and potentially causing equipment failure. Proper filtration and regular fluid checks minimize the risk of contamination.

How can I prevent hydraulic fluid contamination in extreme conditions?

The hydraulic system is a closed system. It’s sealed so nothing gets into the system as long as you maintain the tools properly.

What safety features are incorporated in hydraulic systems?

Hydraulic systems include safety features like pressure relief valves, burst discs, and emergency shut-off switches to prevent over-pressurization and fluid leaks. Additionally, the use of quick-release flat-face coupling and hoses reduces the risk of fluid loss.

What is cavitation, and how can it affect hydraulic systems?

Cavitation occurs when vapor bubbles form in hydraulic fluid due to low pressure, then collapse violently when subjected to high pressure. This can erode components and lead to reduced performance or system failure. Proper system maintenance and pressure regulation can prevent cavitation.

How does a hydraulic power pack work in conjunction with other tools?

Some hydraulic power packs supplies pressurized fluid to multiple tools through a distribution network. Operators can connect different tools to the power pack as long as each tool’s flow and pressure requirements are met.

How do our multiflex power packs work with multiple tools simultaneously?

Hydraulic power packs generate a steady flow of pressurized fluid that can be distributed to multiple tools through a hydraulic circuit. With the right flow and pressure settings, operators can power several tools simultaneously without compromising performance.

How long can the connection hoses be?

We recommend using the shortest possible hose the task allows so we have 6- and 10-meter hoses that should cover most tasks. Longer hoses can result in lower performance, but all HYCON products are made with high quality seals that can run with higher system pressures.
