Answer:

Many jacks and elevators rely on hydraulic power to lift vehicles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hydraulic jack, as well as the hydraulic lift, is a tool that acts as a lever capable of suspending heavy objects. In this sense, it is used to lift a part of the vehicle without the need for it to be completely suspended.

This equipment was created in the 19th century by engineer Richard Dudgeon. Using the Pascal Principle, it basically indicates that any fluid subjected to a specific pressure will expand in all directions until it reaches the container in which it is stored.

Using this principle the hydraulic lift (or hydraulic jack) basically works by a hydraulic unit driven by an electric motor, where this unit generates the force and expansion of the fluids that perform the movement of the hydraulic cylinders raising the lift load.
