Hydraulic Lift

9th October 2023

Embarking on the exciting venture of constructing a DIY hydraulic lift as a high school student, we found ourselves drawn into the fascinating world of engineering and hands-on innovation. Armed with a curious mind and a determination to bring theoretical concepts to life, we began assembling the components of my crane. Utilising materials readily available in our school's workshop/laboratory, such as sturdy Cardboard and repurposed plastic syringes, we set out to create a scaled-down version of a hydraulic lift . The process involved careful planning, measuring, and adjusting as we navigated through the challenges of transforming theoretical knowledge into a practical and functional apparatus. Tackling each step with enthusiasm, we learned about how Excavators and Automotive Braking Systems work.We also honed my problem-solving skills. This DIY hydraulic crane project became a unique and rewarding expression of our passion for STEM, showcasing the creativity and resourcefulness that high school students can bring to the world of engineering.
