Components of
Hydraulic Jacks 1
A reservoir or buffer tank A reservoir or buffer tank is a vessel that holds the hydraulic fluid or pumps oil which will be used to transfer applied pressure from the pump to the ram.
Piston pump
2
Piston pump – is a part that is mechanically activated by moving the pump lever or handle up and down.
3
Pump lever or handle Pump lever or handle – the movement of the pump lever builds up pressure in the hydraulic fluid which transfers that pressurized fluid through a check valve and into the main cylinder.
The main cylinder

The main cylinder – is also referred to as ram, when drive upwards, it extends out of the hydraulic jack body by the pressure of the hydraulic fluid, creating the required lifting force and lifting the load.
Release valve Release valve – is a part that helps to release the pressure so that the ram can retract and the load can be lowered.
