主权项

1. A device for powering an apparatus, comprising:
a self-contained hydraulic power module configured to power the apparatus, the self-contained hydraulic power module capable of being readily connected and disconnected to the apparatus for ready installation and/or replacement of the self-contained hydraulic power module as desired where the apparatus is designed to at least include a first portion for receiving the self-contained hydraulic module for automatic coupling of the self-contained hydraulic power module with the apparatus while providing the operable communication therebetween; the self-contained hydraulic power module including:
a base structure with an internal manifold;an automatic coupling configured with the base structure, the automatic coupling operable to enable the automatic coupling of the module with the apparatus;a hydraulic fluid source attached to the base structure and fluidly coupled with the internal manifold;a hydraulic pump in fluid communication with the hydraulic fluid source, the hydraulic pump configured with the base structure and fluidly coupled with the internal manifold; anda control system adapted to control operation of the self-contained hydraulic power module; wherein the self-contained hydraulic power module is configured into a modular unit which enables installation of the self-contained hydraulic power module with or removal of the self-contained hydraulic power module from the apparatus as a cohesive, single unit.
