👉 Dump fluid, also known as hydraulic fluid, is a thick, viscous liquid used in hydraulic systems to transmit power and control mechanical movements. It serves as a lubricant, reducing friction between moving parts and dissipating heat generated during operation. Composed primarily of mineral oils or synthetic fluids, dump fluid is essential for the proper functioning of heavy machinery like excavators, bulldozers, and construction equipment. When a machine operates, the fluid circulates through hydraulic cylinders or motors, enabling precise control and amplification of force. However, if the fluid degrades or becomes contaminated, its performance deteriorates, leading to increased wear, reduced efficiency, and potential system failure. Regular maintenance, including fluid analysis and replacement, is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity of hydraulic systems.
