Synopsis

Unlock the power of hydraulic, steam, and hand‑powered lifting and pressing machinery.

This practical reference explains how engineers, architects, and users can understand and apply these time‑tested systems in real projects. Rich with historical context, practical data, and illustrated examples, the book blends theory with hands‑on guidance to help readers select, design, or adopt the right machinery for their needs.

The work covers high‑ and low‑pressure hydraulic lifts, hydraulic presses, riveting and punching machines, and a wide range of lifting and handling equipment. It features a wealth of details drawn from real‑world practice, including pump systems, accumulators, and the economics of hydraulic power, as well as numerous drawings and case studies of cranes, hoists, and presses.
