Drive with a hydraulic motor
The biggest advantage of drive with a hydraulic motor is the direct power transfer at the two mounting plates, resulting in smooth, controlled movement, which is something that drive with a hydraulic cylinder cannot provide.
Hydraulics
Hydraulics is a drive technology that uses fluid under pressure. This fluid is usually oil.
Electric drive
An electric drive converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. This makes it possible to put parts of machines in motion. The big advantage of electric motors is that they can be connected to mains power. In addition, electrically powered machines can be fitted with a battery. Tail lifts make use of an electric motor to power the hydraulic pump.
