How does 12v hydraulic power unit work?

A 12V hydraulic power unit operates by utilizing a 12V DC motor to drive a hydraulic pump. This pump pressurizes hydraulic fluid, typically oil, which is then directed through hydraulic hoses to various hydraulic actuators such as cylinders or motors. These actuators convert the hydraulic pressure into mechanical force or motion, allowing the unit to perform tasks such as lifting, pressing, or moving heavy loads.

The power unit also includes a reservoir to store hydraulic fluid, valves to control the direction and flow of the fluid, and sometimes a pressure relief valve to prevent over-pressurization. Compact and versatile, 12V hydraulic power units are widely used in applications requiring mobile or remote operation, such as dump trailers, boat lifts, and agricultural equipment.
