This equipment serves as the energy source for automotive lifts, employing a 220-volt electrical input to drive a hydraulic pump. This pump generates pressurized fluid, which is then used to raise and lower vehicles. A typical application involves powering a two-post or four-post lift in a professional auto repair shop or a well-equipped home garage.
The utilization of such a system provides significant advantages. The robust hydraulic power allows for the safe and efficient lifting of heavy vehicles. Historically, manually operated systems were common, but these were replaced by electrically powered units due to their increased power, safety, and speed. The shift to electrical power led to improved productivity and reduced physical strain on technicians.
