Is it acceptable to travel to the job site with hydraulic leaks present?

Traveling to the job site with hydraulic leaks present is not safe. Hydraulic fluid can pose significant dangers, including environmental hazards, fire risks, and the potential for equipment failure during transport. Leaks can lead to a loss of hydraulic pressure, which may compromise the functionality of the equipment, posing risks to the operator and others nearby. Additionally, carrying equipment with hydraulic leaks can lead to contamination of the work area and waterways, further exacerbating safety and environmental concerns. Thus, ensuring that all hydraulic systems are leak-free before travel is crucial for maintaining safety standards and operational integrity on the job site.
