Class Title Course Description Dates Day Of The Week
Pilot & Electro-Hydraulic Systems All the new Caterpillar equipment designed today utilize hydraulic control systems that are controlled either by Pilot or Electro-hydraulic controls. These systems provide flexibility by allowing the main control valve to be remotely located, which saves space. They also provide more precise control on machine implements and allow for higher main hydraulic system pressures, all while lowering operator effort and fuel cost.
