Shire Hydraulics

Hydraulic machinery are devices and tools that use fluid power to do the work. Nearly all types of heavy equipment is a common example. With this type of equipment, hydraulic fluid is pumped to a high pressure then transmitted through the device to various actuators. The hydraulic pumps are powered by engines or electric motors.

The pressurized fluid is managed by the operator with control valves and then dispersed through pipes and tubes. The increasing appeal of hydraulic machinery is because of the large quantity of power that is transferred through small tubes and flexible pipes. The theory that lies behind hydraulic equipment is fluid pressure.
