March 2022, Rocklea QLD – (https://www.pacificpetroleum.com.au/lubricants/kendall-lubricants/) Hydraulic Systems depend on a specialised fluid - generally oil - to power the pistons that make the machine work. In a truck crane, hydraulics are in charge of raising and lowering the boom, extending the boom in a telescopic crane, controlling the steering and outriggers, and adding and removing counterweights.


Pacific Petroleum is happy to share a blog that contains tips about the best threats to your boom truck’s hydraulics. The cleanliness of the fluid.


The research included some attention-getting statistics data:
• Between 70% and 80% of hydraulic equipment, failures can be credited to hydraulic fluid cleanliness or lack thereof.

• Particles that are as tiny as 2 microns can cause troubles in a hydraulic system.

• The most harmful particles are between 3 and 20 microns in size. These tend to escape standard fluid filters.


Hydraulic fluid is the single essential material in the entire hydraulic system. The choice of hydraulic oil varies as per the hydraulic system and application. One can choose from a range of oils like automatic transmission fluid, multiple grade engine oil, or anti-wear hydraulic oil.
