How to Size and Specify a Portable Hydraulic Power Unit
How to size a hydraulic power unit comes down to matching the unit’s flow rate and working pressure to the tools you plan to use. Horsepower sets the limit for what your unit can deliver, while flow and pressure determine whether your tools will perform correctly. From there, it’s a matter of working through your fuel type, flow configuration, frame type and coupler compatibility to complete your spec: a simple process we’re exploring in this learning resource.
