Hydraulic oil in construction equipment like excavators can reach pressures over 3,000 PSI, allowing a small pump to generate enormous lifting force. The oil doesn't compress under this pressure, which is why it can transfer power so effectively. A single hydraulic cylinder the size of a coffee can, filled with pressurized oil, can lift several tons. This same principle powers everything from car brakes to airplane wing flaps.
