 Abstract

When considering industrial machinery, the HYDRAULIC

FORK LIFT machine is the perfect machine shop tool for
the lifting materials. Our lifting machine consists of a
hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic pump, die holder, ram and
die. This is a hand operated one. The hydraulic pump is
supplying pressurized oil to the hydraulic cylinder. The
hydraulic cylinder consists of piston, and piston rod.
The ram is fixed at the end of the hydraulic cylinder.
The pressurized oil pusses the hydraulic cylinder piston
forward due to oil pressure. Already the pipe is fixed at
the die holder. The ram is striking the pipe forcely, due
to the movement of the hydraulic piston.
