The power unit has a gear-type pump and the. oil system, is ..mainly , of copper . tubing, With a flexible suction hose from _tank to pump and flexible high-pressure hOse from the split feed to the base of the tWo rams.
Heavy-duty cylinders are used for
• the ram assembly and they are carried in -a substantial cradle through the
