SUMMARY
The discussion centers on a hydraulic lift system struggling with overheating hydraulic fluid when lifting loads exceeding 1 tonne. The user increased the flow rate to mitigate the issue, but this adjustment exceeds the system's permitted flow rate, raising concerns about potential damage. Recommendations include cooling the hydraulic fluid and reducing the hoist speed to alleviate pump overload, which may improve performance without risking system integrity.
