Don’t know anything about hydraulics? Then ‘Preliminary stage hydraulics’ is the perfect place to start. In this foundation course, you’ll gain insight into the operating principles of hydraulics. You’ll learn how to recognise hydraulic parts, both in a diagram and on the machine. And you’ll get to know the functions performed by the common components found in hydraulics. This 1-day course is perfect for engineers with no prior knowledge about hydraulics, and it also functions as a foundation course for people looking to undertake our ‘Introduction to mobile hydraulics’ training course. But ‘Preliminary stage hydraulics’ is not just for engineers. It’s also a great benefit if you work in a sales, warehouse, or administration role because you’ll walk away with the knowledge you need to answer technical questions.
