If you are talking about the big ones in a garage. basically they are two large pistons as seen in hydraulic systems such as hydraulic elevators to Power Steering units on cars. every size scale, as described above, work on the same principle. a hydraulic system basic components are: A reservoir, a pump which can be belt driven via motor, a piston, series of check valves, and hydraulic lines. when the power to the pump is applied, the pressure is greater in the cylinder portion and the pistons rise up to desired height. when you push the down button, pistons retract back into cylinders by a check valve on each piston. pump is not activated during this part. reservoir refills, and system is ready to be activated again.....Anything on the hydraulic scale of a car lift, or sidewalk elevators , use spring loaded push buttons switches for up and down as a safety precaution. they have a key switch only used as a stop switch. and should never be kept in switch assembly....
