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.

A comprehensive guide to hand hydraulic pallet trucks

  In the world of modern logistics and warehousing, the   Hand Pallet Truck —also known as a manual pallet jack—is one of the most widely used and essential tools for material handling. Known for its simplicity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, it plays a vital role in short-distance transportation across warehouses, factories, supermarkets, and more. What is a hand pallet truck? A  hand pallet truck  is a manually operated tool used to lift and move palletized loads. It typically consists of: Handle  – for steering and controlling the hydraulic pump. Hydraulic pump  – activated by pressing the handle up and down to raise or lower the forks. Fork arms  – slide into the base of a pallet and support the load. Wheels  – front and rear wheels made of materials like nylon, PU, or rubber, depending on the environment. Common Application Scenarios Due to its easy operation and versatility, the hand pallet truck is widely used in: Warehouses and stora...

Common Stitching Defects in Lifting Slings and How to Spot Them

  When it comes to  lifting slings , most buyers focus on the webbing material, the label, or the load capacity. However, one often-overlooked yet   critical component   is the   stitching . The stitching—specifically the sewing thread and pattern—plays a key role in the overall strength and durability of the sling. Why Stitching Matters in Lifting Slings The strength of a lifting sling doesn’t come from the webbing alone—it relies heavily on the quality of stitching that holds everything together. Poor stitching can significantly reduce the Working Load Limit (WLL) and may lead to dangerous failures during lifting operations. The stitching on a webbing sling isn’t just about holding layers together—it’s what keeps the sling strong and safe under load. If the stitching is poorly done, the entire sling becomes unreliable. Here’s what can go wrong: Lower Strength  – Weak stitching reduces the sling’s working load limit (WLL), meaning it might fail when you le...
