A hydraulic press can lift 
when a mass 
is placed on the smaller piston. It can lift 
when the diameter of the larger piston is increased by 
times and that of the smaller piston is decreased by 
times keeping the same mass 
on the smaller piston.

Atmospheric pressure 
will be acting on both the limbs of hydraulic lift.
Applying pascal's law for same liquid level
Diameter of piston on side of 
is increased by 4 times so new area 
Diameter of piston on side of 
is decreasing
(In order to increasing weight lifting capacity, diameter of smaller piston must be reduced)
Again, 
From equation
