Abstract
Importance is placed upon reliability due to the exceedingly high consequential losses that can arise when seemingly minor breakdowns occur. The manner in which fluid power has made incursion into construction equipment is described, with indication of present and future trends for its further use with reference to possible rivals in power transmission deriving from the electric wheel and gas turbine developments. The necessity for a ‘whole machine’ design concept is stressed, and which must include the operator. The changing pattern of maintenance procedures in the construction industry and what this implies for the fluid power industry is described.
