Hydraulic systems operate based on Pascal’s Law, which states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. This principle allows hydraulic systems to amplify force that allows heavy lifting with precise control.
COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
- Excavators and loaders use hydraulic systems for digging, lifting and handling materials.
- Cranes use hydraulic systems to lift and position heavy loads.
- Telehandlers use hydraulic systems for precise placement of materials.
- Tractors use hydraulic systems for lifting implements like plows and seeders.
- Harvesters use hydraulic systems for cutting, threshing and handling grain.
- Sprayers and spreaders use hydraulic systems for even distribution of fertilizers and pesticides.
