HYDRAULIC LOWERING AND LIFTING EQUIPMENT WITH ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM
The paper presents a demonstrative model of Hydraulic lowering and lifting equipment with which aims the demonstration of possibility for potential energy recovery from the lifting mechanisms with hydraulic driving. There are presented the conceptual schema of the model, the main components and subassemblies. The experimental model was used for a experimental research, when were obtained o lot of graphical results regarding the variation of the main functional parameters of the platform, but this results will be presented in future paper. They have clearly demonstrated the possibility of potential energy recovery at elevating equipment.
