Dump truck pump placement.

[Philip Dennison]

Hello all I'm new here . Thanks for letting me join. I'm wanting to put the electric/hydraulic pump inside the cab. Wandering if there was any dangers inherent in doing that. Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.

Just wondering what the hydraulics will be operating?
Edit just noticed you have dump ruck in the title.
How big a truck are we talking?

Main danger might be soaking the interior with oil if a line fails.

Leaks while the system is under pressure would be the biggest concern, airflow around the pump motor would be the secondary concern. I wouldn't personally mount one in the cab, for the first reason alone. It could be mitigated with some sort of shields if need be. Still not good practice.
