Construction
Within the construction industry, workers rely on hydraulic jacks to lift heavy loads, such as pieces of construction material, equipment, or entire structures. Other forms of these devices also feature in equipment such as forklifts and bulldozers, and in elevators systems in low- and medium-rise buildings.
Material Handling & Lifting
Hydraulic jacks find use in many material handling applications. For example, in industrial warehouses and facilities, hydraulic pallet jacks allow operators to lift and transport materials and equipment stacked on pallets.
Railroad & Transportation
In the railroad and transportation industries, hydraulic jacks enable workers to raise and lower rails for placement on the track system.
Mining
Large chunks of rock can present a major obstacle to mining processes. Hydraulic jacks allow a safe, controlled method of moving large pieces of rock or other debris.
