Hydraulic systems use liquids because they are incompressible. The incompressible fluid is used for transmission of the force that is applied at one point and is transmitted to another point. Due to the use of this force, and depending on how it’s applied, operators can lift heavy loads, and precise repetitive tasks can be easily done. The power of liquid fuel in hydraulics is significant and as a result, hydraulic are commonly used in heavy equipment.
