Five Advantages of Using Hydraulic Powerpacks In Construction

Posted by VHS Hydraulic Components Ltd on April 27th, 2021

Hydraulic powerpacks, simply put, are self-contained units that supply power to machines that run on hydraulic energy. This power is derived from the movement of fluid within the hydraulic system. Hydraulic powerpacks come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the power supply that is required. Every hydraulic powerpack is made up of a reservoir for the fluid, regulators, motor, pump, pressure supply and relief lines. This article lists out five major advantages of using hydraulic powerpacks by Rexroth Hydraulics in construction projects.

Hydraulic powerpacks supply power to machinery

Hydraulic powerpacks can well be considered the backbone of every construction project. This is because every machinery used in construction is powered by these packs. The repeated motions of construction equipment, be they machines that have a moving part that rams or lifts or digs or moves large materials onto the site, all are powered by hydraulic energy.

Smaller machinery supplied with enormous power

Construction sites start out empty, however, as construction progresses and structures are built, the space reduces. This will make it difficult to use big machinery to carry out lifting or digging or any other function. Hydraulic powerpacks from Rexroth Hydraulics can easily solve this dilemma. The powerpacks supply smaller machinery with enormous power allowing them to carry out the same work that the larger machinery was carrying out.

Reduction is costs of construction

Using a hydraulic powerpack from Rexroth Hydraulics will reduce the construction costs significantly. The works carried out in construction site like digging of earth, moving of large stones or pipes, etc., require a lot of power, and this power can be supplied without the need for additional fuel by using hydraulic powerpacks to supply power to the hydraulic components of these machines. Additionally, these hydraulic powerpacks can be serviced by the very same engineer employed to service the machinery as the same technology is used in both. This significantly reduces the costs involved in construction projects.

Precise control over the machinery

While a vast majority of the work carried out in a construction site is high-intensity work, not all work requires a lot of power. Some works, like an excavation of the earth above sewage pipes, or gas pipelines, require much less energy to achieve precision and avoid damage. Such control can be achieved by using hydraulic powerpacks by Rexroth Hydraulics. One can choose from the different modes of power supply provided by the powerpacks to cause the machinery to exert lower power, wherever required.

Hydraulic powerpacks can be used at any stage

Hydraulic powerpacks by Rexroth Hydraulics can be used in machines at any stage of construction. Right from machines used in the excavation of ground at the start of a construction project, to machines that bring materials required to the site during construction, to machines that pump concrete in order to lay the floors towards the end of the construction project, hydraulic powerpacks can be used to supply power to them all.
