Hydrofication is the process of equipping a vehicle with a hydraulic system, also known as a volumetric hydraulic drive. The installation of such equipment must be economically justified so that the investment pays off in the long run, since the cost of these systems is quite high.

Advantages of vehicle hydrofication
A machine equipped with hydraulics turns into a multifunctional device. In addition to its primary task — transporting goods — it gains the ability to perform additional operations: raising and lowering the platform, loading and unloading materials, and moving them over short distances. This allows reducing time, physical effort, and financial costs, which is especially important for a well-established production process.
Today, it is not at all necessary to purchase expensive specialized equipment. For example, an ordinary tractor can be retrofitted with an attachment, turning it into a loader. Such a machine will be able not only to cultivate the soil — plowing and leveling it — but also to transport garbage, firewood, grain, and other materials. Such equipment will find application not only in agriculture but also in the construction of roads and buildings, as well as in municipal services.
For dump trucks, the presence of hydraulics speeds up and simplifies the unloading process, and also allows adapting it to specific working conditions.
There are three types of hydrofication:
- single-circuit;
- dual-circuit;
- multi-circuit.
A single-circuit system is the simplest and most affordable option. It allows tipping the dump truck body in one direction, usually backward.
Dual-circuit hydraulics are more functional and are often used on construction sites where space for maneuvering large equipment is limited. Such a system allows unloading the machine in three directions — backward and to both sides.
Multi-circuit hydrofication is the most expensive but also the most versatile option. It allows installing several independent hydraulic mechanisms on one vehicle, for example, a manipulator and a dump platform.
Thus, by properly assessing the volume and nature of the work that special equipment must perform, one can replace three machines with one, avoiding the costs of renting or purchasing them.
A complete set of hydraulic equipment includes the following components:
- hydraulic motor;
- hydraulic cylinder;
- hydraulic pump;
- hydraulic oil tank with filters;
- hydraulic distributor;
- valve elements;
- hydraulic lines, fasteners, fittings, and other parts.
In case of a breakdown, it is not necessary to replace the entire hydraulic system. You can repair damaged units or replace them with new ones. In such matters, it is important to have the support of a reliable company with qualified specialists.
