A hydraulic lift is a device used to move objects using force created by pressure on a liquid inside a cylinder that moves a piston upward
. It uses a hydraulic cylinder system to lift, move, and position heavy loads, and its basic components include a hydraulic cylinder enclosing a piston, a reservoir for oil storage, a pump for generating fluid energy, a motor for generating mechanical power, and valves for manipulating fluid flow
. Hydraulic lifts are commonly used in manufacturing warehouses, construction sites, and other industrial environments to handle heavy loads, and they are also used in various applications such as lifting or transporting heavy or bulky items, positioning items for assembly, and lifting items for inspection
. There are different types of hydraulic lifts, including hole-less hydraulic lifts, roped hydraulic lifts, and machine room-less (MRL) hydraulic lifts, each with its own specific features and benefits
. Hydraulic lifts have advantages such as being less expensive to install, occupying less space in a building, and not requiring a separate machine room, but they also have disadvantages, including relatively slow operation and a limited vertical rise
