Hydraulics is playing an increasingly important role in the performance
of heavy equipment and as such, the reliability and effectiveness of
hydraulic systems is becoming paramount. Caterpillar was the first
company to investigate and use hydraulic systems within the engines of
its larger vehicles. Most recently, the company has been using
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to make vital adjustments to some of its hydraulic systems.
Caterpillar aims to design and manufacture superior hydraulic
components, supported by high quality system maintenance and service,
and its vehicles are renowned for their performance and reliability. So when it became clear that there was a problem with some of its larger vehicles, Caterpillar pulled out all the stops to find a solution.
