How the hydraulic system works on a dump truck?

Hi motors mania
How are you all today? I am very happy that today I can greet all of you who are in this beloved Community, and of course the @hivemotors community.

Well, on this occasion I want to discuss a little about the hydraulic system used in dump trucks in lifting heavy loads, or lowering materials easily, quickly and safely, of course.

Actually the hydraulic system is widely used on heavy equipment such as excavators and others, and on trucks before the hydraulic system was applied at that time to lower building materials such as soil, sand and stone was carried out by humans, we can imagine the time needed for this and the energy needed. drained to unload a truckload of sand or dirt.

And over time technology has developed so that a more efficient way is found, namely by using a hydraulic system on trucks transporting building materials.

Hydraulic system on dump truck.

In general, what we often use now is about utilizing certain tools, and also on dump trucks like this, as I know the hydraulic system is a form of large power transfer by utilizing oil media to get a larger workforce, compared to with the previous power, so the role of oil here is as power in lifting heavy loads.

On dump trucks, to control or use hydraulics there is usually a lever in the driver's wheelhouse to raise and lower the dump, for more details you can see the picture below.

How ​​does it work?

The oil in the hydraulic tank will be forwarded by a pump that functions as a pressure generator, after that it will continue to the cylinder part that works through the existing pipelines in the area, so with the presence of oil pressure in the cylinder chamber, it is able to produce the driving force to move forward. or back off.

So the important role of hydraulics in dump trucks is to spew the load that is on the tailgate with a slope assisted by hydraulics, thus being very efficient in carrying out the process of moving material to a certain place.

I think that's a little discussion from me about the hydraulic system used in dump trucks, hopefully it will be useful for all of us here, don't forget I also want to thank those of you who have visited and supported me,"greetings from binjai horas."
