An electric high mast truck is a typical example of a hydrau-
POTATO HARVESTER lic lifting and lowering application. Lifting is usually carried
out directly via the built-in hydraulic pump, as the load coun-
teracts the direction of movement. For a controllable and
gentle lowering function, appropriate hydraulic valves are
used, which allow the oil to flow back into the tank in a con-
