The Advantages of using 24 Volt Hydraulic Power Packs

Although initially developed over 20 years ago, the continual development of small hydraulic power packs continues.These compact yet robust 24 Volt DC hydraulic power units have transformed the operational capabilities of various sectors, offering a combination of efficiency, control, and adaptability that is ideal for use in small, mobile or space-restricted applications. Recent advancements made by Hydronit allow for the integration of 'Smart Power Unit' technology, which in short, combines sensors, electronics and hydraulics all into one hydraulic power pack. Read more about the Smart Power Unit technology.

Compact Efficiency

One of the main benefits of a 24 Volt hydraulic power pack is their exceptional efficiency within a compact framework. This enables integration into space-constrained environments like dock levellers, bridges and doors within marine applications and presses and hoists within packed industrial settings, where every inch of space counts.

A number of the components used, incuding the gear pumps, helical pumps, electric motors and solenoid valve coils have been designed and optimised for use in mini power plant applications. Part of this optimisation process was to increase efficiency and power density (power per unit volume) whilst also reducing heat production and energy absorption at the same time.

Reliability and Durability

With control units that are 100% tested before dispatch, These 24 Volt hydraulic power packs are engineered to not only meet but exceed reliability standards. Constructed with robust functional components made out of treated steel, they are built to withstand the rigorous demands of various applications, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

Adaptability to Diverse Applications

The bespoke design capabilities of Zeus Hydratech mean that each 24 Volt hydraulic power pack can be tailored to suit specific requirements, whether for industrial presses, lifting equipment or mobile hydraulics. The heart of the system is the central manifold, which is built with a light and compact die-cast aluminium, allowing standard valves and components to be mounted to create hundreds of possible configurations, adapted to the customer’s needs. This level of adaptability ensures that our clients receive a solution that is not just fit for purpose but optimised for their particular application. 

A common use for 24V DC hydraulic power packs is in lifting/tipping applications, such as tipper trailers, cattle crushes or on luxury horseboxes. The hydraulic packs on the horseboxes power operate within their confined spaces to power cylinders that lower, raise, extend and retract elements of the trailer to make a extra storage or a luxury living space outside of the main footprint of the vehicle whilst travelling and staying over at events.

Environmental Considerations

As industries look to move their operations towards integrating greener solutions, the small 24 Volt hydraulic power packs are an environmentally friendly option. With increased efficiency and power density whilst also reducing heat production and energy absorption at the same time, these systems not only contribute to a more sustainable operation but also to a more comfortable and safe working environment.
