A reliable hydraulic power unit is essential for wheelchair lifts and accessibility platforms that require controlled lifting and lowering.
Hidroman's wheelchair lift hydraulic power unit is a compact 12V hydraulic power solution designed for applications using a single-acting hydraulic cylinder. The integrated design combines an electric motor, hydraulic pump, reservoir, and control components in a space-saving package.
With a maximum pressure of up to 220 bar (3,191 psi) and a flow rate of approximately 1.6 L/min, this compact hydraulic power unit can be configured for wheelchair lifts, accessibility platforms, vehicle lifts, and other compact lifting applications.
This 12V hydraulic power unit is designed for applications where compact dimensions, reliable hydraulic performance, and controlled cylinder movement are important.
The standard configuration includes:
Actual operating parameters should be selected according to the hydraulic cylinder, lifting capacity, required lifting speed, available installation space, and application requirements.
Controlled lowering is an important part of a wheelchair lift hydraulic system.
The integrated pressure-compensated flow control valve allows the cylinder lowering speed to be adjusted according to the requirements of the application.
This helps provide controlled and consistent platform movement during the lowering cycle.
For wheelchair accessibility equipment, the hydraulic power unit should be properly matched with the cylinder and mechanical structure to achieve the required lifting and lowering performance.
Wheelchair lift systems may need a manual operating function in the event of an electrical power interruption.
This hydraulic power unit can be equipped with a manual hand pump and release valve to support manual lowering when electrical operation is unavailable.
The exact emergency operation should always be evaluated according to the complete lift design and applicable safety requirements.
Space is often limited in wheelchair lifts and vehicle-mounted accessibility equipment.
The compact design of this hydraulic power unit allows it to be installed in applications where available mounting space is restricted. The 1.5-liter plastic reservoir can be installed horizontally or vertically, depending on the system design.
The compact configuration makes this unit suitable for:
A hydraulic power unit converts electrical energy into hydraulic power.
The 12V DC electric motor drives the hydraulic pump. The pump draws hydraulic oil from the reservoir and delivers pressurized fluid into the hydraulic circuit.
The pressurized hydraulic oil moves the connected hydraulic cylinder, which produces the mechanical lifting movement required by the wheelchair platform.
During the lowering cycle, the control valve regulates hydraulic oil flow from the cylinder, allowing the platform to descend at a controlled speed.
For proper hydraulic system design, the power unit should be selected based on:
Not every wheelchair lift or accessibility platform has the same hydraulic requirements.
Hidroman can evaluate the application and configure hydraulic power units according to specific technical requirements.
Depending on the project, the following parameters can be customized:
Hidroman also manufactures compact hydraulic power units for applications requiring different motor powers and hydraulic performance levels.
A hydraulic power unit for accessibility equipment should be selected as part of the complete hydraulic system rather than as an individual component.
The pump, motor, reservoir, valves, hydraulic cylinder, control system, and mechanical structure must work together to achieve the required lifting performance.
For this reason, Hidroman evaluates the complete application when selecting or designing a hydraulic power unit.
If you are developing a wheelchair lift, vehicle accessibility lift, mobility platform, or custom hydraulic lifting system, providing the cylinder specifications, lifting capacity, required speed, operating pressure, and available mounting dimensions will help determine the appropriate hydraulic power unit configuration.
