PEM8218C occupies a distinct point in the Enerpac 8000-Series Electric Hydraulic Pump family because of its single-acting advance / retract operation configuration. This is a straightforward single-acting advance/retract arrangement rather than a load-holding valve package, so the circuit should not be selected on the assumption that a hydraulic hold position is provided.
The 8000 Series is built for high-volume hydraulic work. Its large reservoir and high rated flow distinguish it from the smaller portable pump families. Hydraulic direction comes from a 3-way, 2-position manual valve, matched to single-acting service and advance / retract operation. The electrical requirement is 460V, three phase, 60 Hz, so site power should be confirmed before the pump is specified.
Why the PEM8218C Setup Matters
Verify site power against the 460V requirement; a nearby suffix may represent a different electrical version.
Model selection becomes clearer against PEM8218. In that comparison, input voltage is 460V on PEM8218C versus 230V on PEM8218.
