How Do Work Trucks Utilize Hydraulic Systems?

Work trucks use hydraulic systems to power lifting, dumping, crushing, and positioning functions.

Garbage trucks rely on hydraulics to operate packers that crush garbage and extendable arms that lift residential bins.

Dump trucks and trailers use powerful hydraulic systems to raise and empty the truck bed or dump materials to the side.

Tow trucks use hydraulics to lift vehicles with mounted booms and to lower flatbed ramps.

Snow plow trucks use hydraulic systems to adjust plow positions, while cranes use hydraulic-powered outriggers to provide stability during heavy lifting.
