What is the jack? How hydraulic jack work?

A jack is a device that uses force to lift heavy loads. The primary mechanism with which force is applied varies, depending on the specific type of jack, but is typically a screw thread or a hydraulic cylinder. Jacks can be categorized based on the type of force they employ: mechanical or hydraulic. Mechanical jacks, such as car jacks and house jacks, lift heavy equipment and are rated based on lifting capacity (for example, the number of tons they can lift). Hydraulic jacks tend to be stronger and can lift heavier loads higher, and include bottle jacks and floor jacks.
How Hydraulic Jacks Work Hydraulic jack depends on force generated by pressure. Essentially, if two cylinders (a large and a small one) are connected and force is applied to one cylinder, equal pressure is generated in both cylinders. However, because one cylinder has a larger area, the force the larger cylinder produces will be higher, although the pressure in the two cylinders will remain the same. Hydraulic jacks depend on this basic principle to lift heavy loads: they use pump plungers to move oil through two cylinders. The plunger is first drawn back, which opens the suction valve ball within and draws oil into the pump chamber. As the plunger is pushed forward, the oil moves through an external discharge check valve into the cylinder chamber, and the suction valve closes, which results in pressure building within the cylinder.

How to choose the right tie-down strap for your tire: Width, length, and anti-slip design

Choosing the right   tie-down straps   is crucial for tire transportation, as it directly affects cargo safety and driving stability. The straps must not only be strong enough to support the weight of the tires but should also meet requirements in terms of width, length, and anti-slip performance to prevent shifting or damage during transit. This article will provide practical guidance on selecting suitable straps based on tire specifications and highlight key anti-slip features that enhance both safety and efficiency during transport. Tie-Down Strap Width and Length: Ensuring Secure Tire Fixation The width and length of the tie-down strap are critical factors in making sure the tire is securely fixed and preventing damage during transportation. Choosing the correct width and length will ensure the pressure is evenly distributed, reducing the risk of tire damage or instability. Tie-Down Strap Width: Matching the Tire Size The width of the tie-down strap should be chosen accord...

Corner Protectors: Cheap Insurance for Straps & Loads.

A machinery manufacturer once encountered a troublesome issue. They exported a batch of precision parts shipped on pallets. Although ratchet straps were used for securing, corner protection was overlooked. During transit, the straps dug directly into the edges of the goods. By the time of delivery, the customer found multiple dents and scratches on the product surfaces. Some parts were returned, resulting not only in financial compensation but also in nearly damaging a long-term business relationship. This story tells us the importance of the corner protectors. What Are Corner Protectors for Ratchet Straps? A  corner protector  (also known as a strap edge protector) is a small device placed on the corners of cargo when securing it with straps. Its main functions are: Distribute strap pressure  to avoid direct stress on cargo edges. Protect the goods  by preventing corner dents, cracks, or scratches. Extend strap lifespan  by reducing friction, wear, and cutting ...
