What Are Crane Hydraulics?

Crane hydraulics use hydraulic systems to lift and manoeuvre heavy objects. By utilizing pressurized fluid, these systems offer significant advantages over traditional mechanical systems.

At BTS, we take pride in the quality and innovation of our crane hydraulic systems.

• Hydraulic Tanks: Our hydraulic tanks are typically installed behind the cab or on the side, depending on space availability, and vary in capacity from 100L to 150L. They are mounted on rubber mountings, which provide flexibility and reduce impact during operation. This design ensures both longevity and reliability, allowing the tanks to perform effectively even under demanding conditions
• Multi-Spiral Hydraulic Hoses: Our Multi-spiral hydraulic hoses are designed for high-pressure applications, making them ideal for crane hydraulics. These hoses feature multiple layers of spiral reinforcement, which enhances their strength and flexibility, allowing them to withstand extreme conditions.
• Hydraulic Piston Pumps: All our crane hydraulic installations include piston pumps, which are vital for delivering powerful and efficient operation. These pumps generate consistent hydraulic flow through a series of pistons, ensuring precise control and responsiveness. By incorporating hydraulic piston pumps, we enhance the crane’s lifting capabilities and ensure reliability in even the most demanding tasks.

Advantages of Hydraulic Systems in Cranes

1. Increased Lifting Capacity: Hydraulic cranes can lift heavier loads than mechanical cranes due to the substantial force generated by hydraulic pressure.
2. Precision Control: Operators enjoy fine control over movements, facilitating accurate load positioning.
3. Compact Design: Hydraulic systems typically have a smaller footprint compared to mechanical systems, allowing for a more compact crane design.
4. Efficiency: Hydraulic systems are highly efficient, often requiring less energy to achieve the same results as mechanical systems.

At BTS, we are not only leaders in hydraulic technology; we are innovators dedicated to transforming how heavy loads are lifted and moved.
