Telehandlers, also known as telescopic handlers, are versatile machines that are widely used in the construction, agriculture, and industrial sectors. These machines are designed to lift and move heavy loads over a range of heights and distances, making them an essential pieces of equipment on many job sites. Telehandlers often come equipped with hydraulic attachments, such as buckets, forks, and hooks, which are used to lift and move different types of loads.
The operation of telehandlers is powered by a hydraulic system. Hydraulics use liquid, typically oil, to transmit force and motion through a system of pumps, valves, and actuators. This allows the operator to control the lifting and movement of the load with precision and ease.
One of the key components of a hydraulic system used in telehandlers is the hydraulic pump. The pump is responsible for pressurizing the hydraulic fluid and delivering it to the hydraulic cylinders that control the boom and other attachments. The pump is typically driven by an engine, which can be powered by diesel, gasoline, or electric power.
Another important component of the hydraulic system is the hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder converts the fluid pressure into linear motion, which is used to control the movement of the boom and other attachments. The hydraulic valves control the flow of fluid to the hydraulic cylinder, allowing the operator to control the speed and direction of the boom.
Texas Hydrostatics understands the components and operation of these powerful machines and can ensure that the hydraulic systems function efficiently and effectively. For optimal function and reliable performance, we recommend regular maintenance and repair of the hydraulic systems to help extend the life of your machine and safeguard your investment for many years to come.
