New LGH Video Offers Tips on Hydraulic Troubleshooting | Construction News

Lifting Gear Hire has produced a five-minute video about troubleshooting some common problems with hydraulic cylinders and motors.

It addresses problems such as cylinder rods not extending properly, retracting properly, not moving at all, moving erratically, and not holding pressure.

It suggests likely causes and their remedies, from hoses and couplings not being connected properly, to reservoirs being under- or over-filled, the load being too heavy for the cylinder, internal leaks, and air being trapped in the system.

  The video is available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av5ZbahEBRk.
