* Oil Flow
Listed as max flow at rated pressure of 10,000psi (700bar)
** Duty Cycle
Continuous applications require more than one hour of uninterrupted pump use
Intermittent use is from 20 minutes to one hour, depending on reservoir capacity and sound level
*** Portability
Portable
Lightweight
Ergonomic handles
Flexible power requirements
Batter power (for some series)
Usually minimal accessories to keep weight down and reduce chances of damage
Stationary
Mounting options
Normally requires stable power
May be heavily accessorized
Power Source Considerations
Manual
Good for limited use applications
Lightweight, easy to operate and low sound
Typically the lowest cost solution
Typically good for hazardous environments****
Battery
Offers electric pump performance with freedom from cords
Improved jobsite safety by eliminating trip hazards from cords
May offer reduced sound levels over electric & air pumps
Gasoline
High-performance option for remote applications
Typically requires more maintenance due to I/C motor
I/C motor typically has higher sound and vibration levels
Air
May be good choice for certain hazardous environments****
Cost effective pump solution in applications where compressed air is plentiful
Can be easy to operate in simple applications
Treadle versions offer "hands-free" operation
Electric
The widest range of oil flow performance options
Can be highly accessorized to suite a multitude of applications
Models with "induction" and "universal" motors to suite specific application requirements
**** Hazardous Environments
Use in hazardous environments should always be reviewed by on-site safety personal before use
