2. Hydraulic press - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_press

   The hydraulic press depends on Pascal's principle.The pressure throughout a closed system is constant. One part of the system is a piston acting as a pump, with a modest mechanical force acting on a small cross-sectional area; the other part is a piston with a larger area which generates a correspondingly large mechanical force.

6. Self-propelled modular transporter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-propelled_modular...

   A self-propelled modular transporter or sometimes self-propelled modular trailer (SPMT) is a platform heavy hauler with a large array of wheels which is an upgraded version of a hydraulic modular trailer. SPMTs are used for transporting massive objects, such as large bridge sections, [1] oil refining equipment, cranes, motors, spacecraft and ...

7. Hydraulic intensifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_intensifier

   Intensifiers are also used as part of machines such as hydraulic presses, where a higher pressure is required and a suitable supply is already available. [2] Some small intensifiers have been constructed with a stepped piston. This is a double-ended piston, of two different diameters, each end working in a different cylinder.
