Basic through advanced hydraulics - single

Industry-Leading “Foundation Building” Instruction : Activities are engineered so each new lesson reinforces 90% previously taught content and introduces 10% new concepts, dramatically increasing retention.

Supports Every Major Pump/System Type : Teach fixed displacement, pressure-compensated, and optional load-sensing systems, all on one trainer.

Expansive Circuit-Building Capability : Six directional control valves (industrial + mobile) allow students to construct virtually any industrial or mobile hydraulic circuit found in the field.

Exceptional Student Retention : The MF102-H has the highest student retention rate of any hydraulic training system currently available.

Curriculum, Visual Aids & Teaching Materials Includes : Comes with textbooks, illustrated student workbooks, instructor manuals, and 80+ hours of PowerPoint-based instruction.

Safe, Efficient & Environmentally Friendly : Flat-face quick-connect fittings eliminate oil leakage and reduce slip hazards. Energy-efficient design fits within tight classroom spaces and passes through standard doorways.

Plug-and-Play Flex-Plate Expandability : Easily add mobile valves, load-sense modules, proportional valves, steering valves, logic valves, and more, no mounting hardware required.

Designed by a Teaching Legend : Developed and refined by Rory S. McLaren over three decades of real classroom teaching.

Overview: The MF102-H curriculum develops core hydraulic competencies through structured circuit-building labs, measurement activities, and instructor-led demonstrations. Students explore how hydraulic components interact, how energy is transferred, and how to interpret and build circuits using real hardware.

Topics Covered: Hydraulic safety and best practices / Pumps, actuators, valves, and energy transfer / Flow control and pressure regulation / Directional valve operation / Cylinder speed and force calculations / Basic troubleshooting concepts / Reading and constructing schematics
