Frequently Asked Questions
What factors should I consider when choosing a hydraulic jack?
When choosing an industrial hydraulic jack, consider factors such as load capacity, Stroke of the Jack, Closed Height, Type – Single/Double Acting, Application Needs – Plain Ram, Hollow Ram, Threaded Ram with Locknut, Tilt Saddle, Base Plate, etc. Also, think about portability and the environment where the jack will be used.
How do hydraulic jacks work, and what are their main applications?
Hydraulic jacks operate by using hydraulic pressure to lift heavy loads. They are commonly used for Lifting and Movement of Heavy Loads, Pushing and Pulling Applications. They can be used as a single unit or gang operated for various applications.
What is the weight capacity of your hydraulic jacks?
The weight capacity of our hydraulic jacks varies by model, ranging from lightweight options like aluminum hydraulic jacks for smaller tasks to robust double acting hydraulic jacks capable of lifting significant loads in heavy-duty applications.
What are the common problems encountered with hydraulic jacks, and how can they be resolved?
Common problems with hydraulic jacks include leaks, slow lifting, and uneven load distribution. These issues can often be resolved by checking for damaged seals, ensuring proper hydraulic fluid levels in the Pumping Unit, Ensuring load distribution on the jacks are even.
Are your hydraulic jacks safe for industrial use?
Yes, hydraulic pumping units are systems designed to generate hydraulic power for various applications, while hydraulic jacks are specific devices for lifting. Both play crucial roles in hydraulic operations but serve different functions.
How do I determine the right Hydraulic Powerpack to operate the Hydraulic Jacks?
Determine, the number and type of Hydraulic Jacks to be used simultaneously. The sequence of operation, degree of synchronization required and whether features like load holding / Controlled lowering / Decompression are required. On knowing these details, we will be able to provide a solution suitable for your application.
What’s the difference between single-acting and double-acting hydraulic cylinders?
Single-acting hydraulic jacks lift are hydraulically operated in only the extension stroke, whereas double-acting hydraulic jacks are hydraulically operated in both extension and retraction strokes. Choose based on your operational needs.
Can I get customized hydraulic equipment for my specific industrial needs?
Yes, We offer customised hydraulic equipments based on your application and requirements.
What type of hydraulic fluid should be used with your jacks?
It is essential to use high-quality hydraulic fluid that meets the specifications for your hydraulic jacks. Recommended oil grade for the equipment is always mentioned in the Operating and Maintenance manuals.
Can your hydraulic jacks be used for long-term continuous operations?
Yes, our hydraulic jacks are designed for long-term continuous operations. They are built with durability and reliability in mind, making them suitable for demanding industrial applications that require consistent performance over extended periods.
What safety precautions should be taken when handling high-pressure hydraulic equipment?
When handling high-pressure hydraulic equipment, always wear appropriate PPE, ensure connections are secure, and avoid working near any potential failure points. Avoid standing beneath a lifting operation.
What quality control measures do you have in place for hydraulic equipment manufacturing?
We adhere to strict quality control measures during the manufacturing of our hydraulic equipment, including comprehensive testing and compliance with international engineering standards to ensure safety and reliability.
How does BEMCO JACKS ensure that its hydraulic equipment meets international safety standards?
BEMCO JACKS ensures compliance with international safety standards through rigorous testing, certifications, and continuous improvements in design and manufacturing processes, solidifying our reputation among hydraulic jack manufacturers in India. Our design and Testing Procedures are based on ASME and BS Standards.
What are the most common causes of hydraulic jack failure, and how can they be prevented?
Common causes of failure include damages due to eccentric loading, seal damage due to sand particles, etc entering the system, overloading and overstroking the hydraulic jacks. They can be prevented by ensuring equal distribution of load on all jacks, ensuring jacks are placed on a solid flat surface, storage in a clean environment. Determining operational parameters and procuring jacks suitable for it.
What are hydraulic pumping units?
Hydraulic pumping units are systems designed to deliver hydraulic fluid into the Hydraulic Jacks and Cylinders at rated pressure and flow for various applications.
What safety features should I look for in hydraulic jacks?
When choosing hydraulic jacks, look for safety features such as a safety valve to prevent overload, a lock mechanism to secure the load, and a stable base for balance.
