Abstract
A jacking apparatus and method for effecting movement of loads. At least two double-acting hydraulic cylinders including a first and a second cylinder arranged in tandem provide increased force for a power stroke of the apparatus. Hydraulic fluid pressure is provided at a predetermined flow rate to the group of hydraulic cylinders. Substantially all of the predetermined flow rate of hydraulic fluid is routed to the first hydraulic cylinder to provide increased speed for a repositioning stroke of the apparatus.
