What are the differences between electric and hydraulic lifting equipment?

Electric lifting equipment is powered by electric motors and typically operates through cables or batteries, making them quieter and more environmentally friendly. They are often used in indoor settings where noise and emissions are a concern. Hydraulic lifting equipment, on the other hand, uses hydraulic fluid and pistons to generate force, providing high power and torque. They are commonly used in heavy-duty applications and outdoors. Electric systems are generally more energy-efficient and have lower maintenance costs, while hydraulic systems offer greater power density and can handle heavier loads.
