mostly oil

All our the more modern cranes in our fleet use ISO 68 hydraulic fluid. In many cases, the manual calls out for ISO 32, but we use 68. I've talked it over with the manufacturers, and since we live in a hot climate, they agree that is probably equal or better. Or you can consult a fluid power specialist to determine which synthetic fluid might be a good substitute.

The manuals for our very old cranes sometimes calls out for non-detergent 10-wt motor oil, but that is the same thing as what we now call ISO 32.

How do hydraulic cranes work?

Hydraulic cranes operate using the principles of hydraulics, which involve the transmission of force through a fluid. They utilize a hydraulic system that includes a pump, cylinders, and fluid to create movement. When the pump moves hydraulic fluid into the cylinders, it generates pressure that extends or retracts the crane's arms or boom. This allows the crane to lift heavy loads with precision and control, making it effective for various construction and industrial tasks.
