Meet the Game-Changer: The New SC-Series Battery-Powered Hydraulic Pump from Enerpac
Nov 21st 2024
At Horizon Hydraulic, we work closely with professionals across industries who rely on hydraulics to get the job done right—and fast. When Enerpac releases something new, we pay close attention. They don’t just manufacture tools; they engineer solutions. Their latest innovation, the SC-Series Battery-Powered Hydraulic Pump, is a perfect example of what happens when cutting-edge technology meets real-world demands.
This blog is your inside look at this new battery-powered hydraulic pump, why it matters, who it’s built for, and how it can improve your daily operations—whether you’re in construction, industrial maintenance, heavy lifting, or field service work.
What Is the SC-Series Battery-Powered Hydraulic Pump?
Let’s start with the basics. The SC-Series pump is a lightweight, portable, and cordless hydraulic pump designed for demanding environments where mobility and power matter. It's part of Enerpac’s EVO System, pairing seamlessly with a growing ecosystem of hydraulic tools that prioritize precision, safety, and simplicity.
But here’s the kicker: it runs on the DeWalt FLEXVOLT® 60V lithium-ion battery system—yes, the same trusted battery platform that powers a wide array of jobsite tools. That means you don’t need special charging equipment or proprietary accessories. Just snap in a battery, and you’re ready to go.
Why a Battery-Powered Hydraulic Pump?
Let’s face it—cords and hoses can get in the way. They can be a safety hazard, limit your mobility, and slow down your workflow. The SC-Series pump eliminates those headaches without compromising on performance.
Here are a few reasons why a battery-powered solution makes sense:
- Freedom of Movement: No need to search for an outlet or haul around a generator. You can take this pump wherever your work takes you—even in remote or confined spaces.
- Faster Setup: Simply plug in the battery, connect your hydraulic tool, and you’re off. Less downtime, more efficiency.
- Clean and Quiet: No fumes, no noise pollution. Ideal for indoor environments or noise-sensitive job sites.
- Less Maintenance: Fewer moving parts compared to gas-powered units, which means less maintenance and fewer unexpected breakdowns.
Built to Be Tough, Designed to Be Smart
Enerpac didn’t just create a battery-powered pump—they created a smart, rugged solution that’s field-ready.
Lightweight & Portable
At only 24 pounds with the battery installed, the SC-Series pump is easy to carry in one hand, making it a go-to option for technicians and field workers who need to move quickly between job sites or access tight spaces. The rugged housing and protective shroud keep it safe from bumps, drops, and rough handling.
High Flow, Low Hassle
Even though it’s compact, this pump packs a punch. With a 0.25 hp brushless motor, it delivers up to 700 bar (10,000 psi) of pressure—enough to operate a wide variety of single-acting hydraulic tools, from cylinders and bolt tensioners to torque wrenches and spreaders.
It also provides fast advance and retract flow rates, meaning your cycle times are shorter, and productivity goes up.
Simple, One-Button Operation
One of our favorite features? The single-button control. It’s as intuitive as it gets. Just press and hold to advance; release to retract. That’s it. No complicated levers or multi-step controls to learn. It’s designed for quick adoption, especially for teams with varied skill levels.
Applications: Who’s This Pump For?
If you’re wondering whether the SC-Series pump is the right fit for your operation, think about your typical day. Are you:
- Working in a remote or outdoor location without reliable power?
- Performing tasks in tight or elevated areas where larger equipment won’t fit?
- Involved in on-the-go maintenance or emergency repairs where time is critical?
- Part of a crew that values speed and mobility over bulky traditional equipment?
This pump is ideal for professionals in:
- Construction & Infrastructure
- Rail and Transportation
- Industrial Maintenance
- Oil & Gas Field Services
- Mining
- Utilities & Power Generation
- Wind & Solar Installation
In any of these industries, the SC-Series pump can be a game-changer, eliminating the need to lug around power cords, extension cables, or heavy hydraulic setups.
Battery Life That Works as Hard as You Do
Here’s a common concern with battery-powered tools: “Will it last long enough?”
Enerpac addressed this head-on. With the DeWalt FLEXVOLT 60V battery, you’ll get up to 90 cycles per charge depending on your application. That’s more than enough for a full day’s work for most field service scenarios.
And since it’s compatible with the FLEXVOLT ecosystem, it’s easy to swap in a fresh battery if needed. No downtime waiting on a charge.
Pro tip: Grab an extra battery and keep it in your toolbox—just in case your day runs longer than expected.
Built-In Safety and Efficiency
Enerpac is known for building safety into everything they make, and the SC-Series is no exception.
- Over-Pressure Protection: Prevents overloading the system and damaging your tools or equipment.
- Temperature Monitoring: Keeps tabs on internal temperatures to prevent overheating.
- Battery Status Display: You always know how much power is left, so you’re not caught off guard mid-job.
And because it’s cordless and compact, it also reduces tripping hazards and clutter—especially valuable in high-traffic or elevated work zones.
Real-World Scenario: Where the SC-Series Shines
Let’s say you’re part of a bridge maintenance team. You’ve got bolt tensioners that need to be cycled during routine inspections. Getting a generator up to the platform is a pain—and running power cords over the edge? Risky and time-consuming.
With the SC-Series pump, you simply carry it up, snap in the battery, connect your tool, and go to work. No cords, no delays, no compromises.
That kind of flexibility can shave hours off your job time—and when you're working under tight deadlines or road closures, that matters.
Easy Maintenance, Long Service Life
Like all Enerpac tools, the SC-Series is built to last. But they also made it easy to maintain. There’s no complex engine to service, and fewer parts mean fewer failure points. Routine cleaning, occasional hydraulic fluid checks, and keeping the battery charged—that’s about all it takes.
Plus, Enerpac’s global support network and trusted parts availability mean that if you ever do need service or replacement parts, help is close by.
