# How does INOVATIV's Hydraulic Brake System work?

The Hydraulic Brake System used on our Echo workstation carts is very similar to those used on mountain bikes. However, our system uses one hand-lever with the main hose routed through the carts mainframe and collecting in a central manifold located beneath the cart. Its here where the two rear-wheel brake calipers are connected. With the hand lever squeezed, the brake calipers work in unison and brake with equal force. The Hydraulic Brake System uses mineral oil (despite hydraulic being in its name).
