This is because the hydraulic system uses fluid‚ and hydraulic fluid cannot be compressed. Pneumatic systems which use a gas instead of a fluid however can be compressed and this means that the hydraulic system is more effective in it’s function. Because it uses fluid‚ the effect of the hydraulic system is therefore more precise and can work to
