# HydraulicSupermarket.com

> HydraulicSupermarket.com is a hydraulics and pneumatics knowledge site founded by Brendan Casey. It focuses on information products and advisory services: books, training packages, DIY guides, technical blog content, free reports, and one-on-one expert help for hydraulic equipment users, technicians, mechanics, engineers, and maintenance personnel.

This file is a curated, LLM-friendly site map written in the style of `llms.txt`.

Important notes:
- The site is primarily a publishing, training, and expert-advice business, not a parts catalog or component quotation service.
- The FAQ states that product prices are in United States dollars.
- The FAQ also states the business does not provide quotations for hydraulic or pneumatic components or parts, does not send printed catalogs and price lists, and does not buy surplus inventory.
- Many free technical resources are lead-magnet style pages that ask for an email address before download; others are direct-download PDFs.
- The site includes practical maintenance, troubleshooting, contamination-control, and design-reference material for both hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
- Founder contact details shown publicly on the site: HydraulicSupermarket.com, ABN 75 094 220 096, PO Box 1029, 1195 Hay St, West Perth WA 6872, email `info@hydraulicsupermarket.com`, phone `+61 (0)4 7918 2490`.
- Safety matters: the site's commissioning procedures PDF includes an explicit warning about high-pressure fluid hazards. Treat the content as technical guidance and not a substitute for OEM procedures, formal risk assessment, or site-specific engineering review.

## Suggested Use By An LLM

- Use the Home, About, FAQ, Books, Training, Expert Advice, and DIY Guides pages to understand the site's structure and business model.
- Use the handbook, training, and representative blog pages for troubleshooting philosophy, maintenance concepts, contamination control, and practical field guidance.
- Use the PDF reference material when unit conversions, commissioning checklists, or quick engineering lookups are needed.
- Treat pricing, offer deadlines, bonuses, and other sales-copy details as potentially time-sensitive.
- Treat older blog and PDF material as durable technical guidance, but prefer the site's current hub pages when the question is about product availability, offer structure, or contact details.

## Optional

- [West Perth / contact details page](https://hydraulicsupermarket.com/contact.html): useful when the task is commercial outreach or business verification rather than technical support.
- [About the founder](https://hydraulicsupermarket.com/about.html): useful when the task is author/company profiling.
- [Expert Advice](https://hydraulicsupermarket.com/expert-advice.html): useful when the task is whether the site offers consulting beyond books and training.
