Select hydraulic equipment by required lift capacity, water depth or operating pressure, available clearance, attachment points, inflation method, and whether the load must be lifted vertically, stabilized, or moved horizontally.
What safety factors should be considered when using Hydraulic Equipment?
Use an appropriate design and rigging safety factor, inspect the bag and hardware before use, control inflation, keep personnel clear of the load path, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for inflation pressure, attachment, and capacity.
Some hydraulic equipment are available for rent from RTO. Rental availability depends on size and model, so confirm the required capacity, accessories, delivery lead time, and return requirements before scheduling the work.
