hydraulic lifts
Liquid-pressure raising machines
Hydraulic lifts are platforms or mechanisms raised and lowered by fluid pressure, typically oil forced through cylinders by pumps.
The technology powers car lifts in repair shops, wheelchair lifts, elevator systems, and industrial equipment.
The principle relies on Pascal's law—pressure applied to confined fluid transmits equally in all directions, allowing small forces to move heavy loads.
