TT100-E Tabletop Excavator Hydraulic Trainer

The TT100-E Tabletop Excavator Hydraulic Trainer is exceptional for introducing students to the concept of transmitting power by pushing on a confined liquid, and will get your students excited about the world of hydraulics:

  1. Install the hydraulic components – power-unit, cylinders, hydraulic motor, and transmission lines
  2. Fill the hydraulic reservoir with water and pour a bag of your choice of fill material in the large tray
  3. Now, operate the excavator in real-time and see how a confined liquid can be used to transmit power
  4. A pressure gauge, and different cylinder sizes, help students grasp fundamental hydraulics as it relates to force, pressure, and area
  5. Perfect for mechatronics and STEM classes
  6. Great for Skills competitions

Product Details

The TT100-E Tabletop Excavator Hydraulic Trainer is an outstanding educational tool designed to introduce students to the fundamental concept of hydraulic power—transmitting force by pushing on a confined liquid—while sparking genuine excitement about the world of hydraulics.

Students begin by installing the key hydraulic components, including the power unit, cylinders, hydraulic motor, and transmission lines. Next, they fill the hydraulic reservoir with water and add a bag of their chosen fill material into the large tray, creating a realistic digging environment. Once assembled, learners can operate the excavator in real time, directly observing how pressure applied to the confined fluid translates into powerful mechanical movement.

A built-in pressure gauge, combined with interchangeable cylinders of different sizes, helps students clearly understand the core relationships between force, pressure, and area. This hands-on experience makes abstract hydraulic principles tangible and memorable.

The TT100-E is perfect for mechatronics and STEM classes, and it serves as an excellent resource for Skills competitions, giving students practical, engaging training that builds both technical knowledge and problem-solving confidence.
