Hydraulic accessories help complete a lifting or jacking setup by connecting, controlling, monitoring, and supporting hydraulic equipment. Common hydraulic accessories include hydraulic pumps, hoses, manifolds, pressure gauges, valves, base plates, and hydraulic oil.
When working with hydraulic cylinders or rams, the main considerations are usually capacity, stroke, and available space below the load. But the full setup matters just as much. The right accessories can help crews control oil flow, monitor pressure, connect multiple cylinders, support the load, and operate the system more efficiently.
LGH rents hydraulic accessories for lifting, jacking, positioning, and load-control applications across construction, industrial maintenance, infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, utilities, and more.
Hydraulic accessories are the supporting components used with hydraulic cylinders, rams, and pumps. These components help move hydraulic oil through the system, control pressure, monitor performance, and support the load during lifting or jacking work.
Depending on the application, a hydraulic setup may require:
These components may seem small compared to the cylinder or pump, but they can have a major impact on how the system performs.
Hydraulic pumps create the pressure needed to operate hydraulic cylinders and rams. The right pump depends on the type of cylinder, number of lift points, power source, control requirements, and whether the application uses single-acting or double-acting equipment.
LGH’s hydraulic pump rental options include:
Hydraulic pumps may be electric, gas-powered, split-flow, or manual depending on the job. Electric pumps are useful when power is available and consistent operation is needed. Gas pumps can support applications where electric power is limited or unavailable. Split-flow pumps are helpful when multiple cylinders need more controlled movement across several lift points.
The Enerpac SFP series split-flow hydraulic pump.
Split-flow pumps distribute hydraulic oil through multiple outlets to help cylinders move more evenly. This makes them useful for multi-point lifting applications where crews need more control than a basic pump setup can provide.
LGH carries the Enerpac SFP Split-Flow pump for applications requiring controlled cylinder operation. Split-flow pumps may be used for bridge work, stage lifting, structure leveling, skidding, and other applications where multiple lift points must move in a more coordinated way.
Electric and gas hydraulic pumps support a wide range of lifting and jacking applications.
LGH carries ZE5 Enerpac 40-gallon electric pumps, Enerpac ZG5 gas pump models, and Simplex ZU electric pump models. Depending on the model, these pumps may support single-acting or double-acting hydraulic equipment.
Electric pumps are commonly used when a jobsite has a suitable power source. Gas-powered pumps can be useful in outdoor or remote applications where electrical power may not be practical.
A conventional hydraulic hand pump.
Hydraulic hand pumps provide manual control for hydraulic lifting and jacking setups. They are often used for smaller applications, controlled adjustments, or situations where power is unavailable.
LGH’s hydraulic hand pump options include:
Hydraulic hand pumps can be useful when operators need more direct control over oil flow or when the application does not require a powered pump.
Hydraulic hoses connect pumps, manifolds, valves, gauges, and cylinders within the system. Choosing the right hose length helps crews route the setup properly and position equipment where it needs to be.
LGH rents hydraulic hoses with couplings in lengths from 10 ft. through 150 ft.
Available hydraulic hose lengths include:
Hydraulic hoses are an essential part of the setup, especially when equipment must be spaced out across multiple lift points or routed around jobsite obstacles.
A Simplex 4-Port Hydraulic Manifold rental from LGH.
Hydraulic manifolds allow hydraulic flow to be distributed to multiple cylinders. They can help crews build a more organized setup when a lift involves more than one ram or cylinder.
LGH rents 2-port and 4-port hydraulic manifolds with female couplers and control valves.
Hydraulic manifolds can help crews:
For more complex applications, manifolds can often be combined with pressure gauges and valves to give operators better visibility and control.
LGH also carries Durapac manifold valve options with transport frames and gauges.
Available options include:
These hydraulic valve manifolds are useful when crews need to manage multiple hydraulic circuits from a central location. The transport frame helps keep the setup organized, while the gauges allow operators to monitor pressure during the lift.
Hydraulic pressure gauges help operators monitor pressure within the system. This is especially important when multiple cylinders are used and crews need to understand how the load is being shared.
LGH rents 10,000 PSI dial pressure gauges for hydraulic lifting and jacking applications.
Hydraulic pressure gauges can help crews:
When paired with manifolds, hydraulic gauges can give operators a clearer view of what is happening at each cylinder or circuit.
Hydraulic valves control the movement of oil through the system. They can help operators manage flow, control descent, isolate parts of a setup, or prevent unwanted reverse flow.
Two common hydraulic valve types include needle valves and check valves.
LGH carries a 50-ton hydraulic ram base plate to help support certain hydraulic cylinder setups.
A base plate can help create a more stable bearing surface beneath the ram and help distribute force over a larger area. This can be useful when working with low-capacity or taller rams, or when the surface below the cylinder needs additional support.
Base plates should be selected based on the load, cylinder, surface conditions, and full lifting setup.
LGH also carries Simplex hydraulic oil.
Using the proper hydraulic oil helps hydraulic equipment operate as intended. The oil plays a critical role in transferring pressure through the system, protecting components, and supporting reliable pump and cylinder performance.
Hydraulic oil should be matched to the equipment and application requirements.
A hydraulic lifting or jacking setup may require hydraulic cylinders, a pump, hydraulic hoses, couplings, manifolds, pressure gauges, valves, base plates, and hydraulic oil. More complex setups may also require split-flow pumps, multi-port valve manifolds, transport frames, or additional control accessories.
The exact accessories depend on:
Before starting a hydraulic lift, crews should review the entire system, not just the cylinder. Missing hoses, gauges, manifolds, valves, oil, or support equipment can delay the job and create unnecessary downtime.
LGH rents hydraulic accessories and hydraulic pumps for lifting, jacking, positioning, and load-control applications. Our rental fleet includes hydraulic pumps, hand pumps, hoses, manifolds, valve manifolds, pressure gauges, hydraulic ram base plates, and hydraulic oil.
Available hydraulic accessories from LGH include:
Our rental specialists can help review your hydraulic setup, including pump type, cylinder requirements, hose length, control needs, pressure monitoring, and jobsite conditions.

Hydraulic accessories are supporting components used with hydraulic cylinders, rams, and pumps. They may include hoses, manifolds, gauges, valves, base plates, couplings, and hydraulic oil.
LGH rents hydraulic pumps, hand pumps, hydraulic hoses, manifolds, valve manifolds, pressure gauges, hydraulic ram base plates, and hydraulic oil.
A hydraulic manifold distributes hydraulic oil to multiple cylinders or circuits. It can help operators control flow to different lift points and build more organized multi-point hydraulic setups.
Hydraulic pressure gauges allow operators to monitor pressure in the system. In multi-cylinder setups, gauges can help identify uneven load sharing and support more controlled lifting.
LGH rents hydraulic hoses with couplings in lengths from 10 ft. through 150 ft.
A hydraulic pump may be powered by electricity or gas, while a hydraulic hand pump is operated manually. Hand pumps are useful for controlled adjustments, smaller applications, or jobs where power is unavailable.
A split-flow pump may be used when multiple cylinders need more controlled movement across several lift points. It helps distribute hydraulic flow more evenly than a basic pump setup.
