I think it's really important to know a bit about the internals of a car, so that when you are getting your car serviced you can talk intelligently with the auto technician. As well, there are many easy DIY jobs you can do on your car to save your some money which can make all the difference when you are young and starting out. This site is where I am recording everything I am teaching my kids about auto servicing, and because I think it will be useful to many other families as well. I hope you find it useful for your family.

Pros and Cons of Using Automotive Hydraulic Equipment
Kenzi Jacobs
Automotive hydraulic equipment includes machinery that utilises fluid carried between pipes in order to transmit power. It is often used in industrial settings in order to make various types of automotive parts and components. Here are some things to know about hydraulic equipment to decide if this is the right option for you.
Pro: Hydraulic Equipment Can Handle Heavier Loads
One of the primary benefits to using equipment with hydraulics is that it can handle a lot bigger and heavier loads than alternative equipment, such as pneumatic equipment. Hydraulics uses liquid that is pressurized, not compressible like the air used in pneumatic equipment. This results in being able to handle pressure fluctuations when creating components that are on the heavier or bulkier side. There is a great amount of force that can be obtained with the help of hydraulic equipment.
Con: There Are Environmental Concerns
While there are a lot of benefits to using automotive machinery with hydraulics, there are also some disadvantages you should be aware of. One of the drawbacks is the fact that hydraulics is not the most earth-friendly option for powering your machines. By using liquids to power your machinery, especially in terms of equipment that uses oil as its main liquid, it can be hard on the environment. With regular maintenance of the equipment, you can reduce messes and spills of the oil, which does help a little. However, pneumatic equipment does tend to be more environmentally-friendly.
Pro: You Can Use a Weakened Pump With Hydraulics
Some machinery used to make parts for vehicles utilise a pump in order to use that machinery. With hydraulics equipment, you are able to multiple the weak force of the pump, so that you don't have as many limitations. This further provides a more stable environment for making your automotive parts and components, which is also done in record time and with great efficiency.
Con: Your Workers Might Be Vulnerable to Injuries
Another one of the drawbacks to be aware of before you start using hydraulic equipment is that it can pose risks to your workers. This is due to the higher heat that is produced with the liquid system, particularly when the oil causes bubbles or air pockets. These can put your workers at risk if they are not careful. To offset the risk, make sure employees are well trained in using the hydraulic equipment and that they are wearing the right protective gear.
