Hello,
If you have a good mechanical aptitude and some basic training this type of transition would be much easier. Auto Techs would have to adapt to heavier machinery and totally different operating systems like hydraulics, pneumatics and diesel engines. With all due respect I’ve worked in automotive as well and the transition would be difficult for me adapting to the auto trade. The trades are getting so specialized now any change would be hard. I think a lot of auto techs or gas mechanics as we heavy duty guy call them are not used to the complex hydraulic and air systems used on modern machines but I found they have an excellent grasp of electronic diagnostic tooling. Most everything you deal with is big and heavy and usually dirty.You have to adapt to working in extreme enviroment and if you are a fielld service tech you must be self reliant.It’s all nuts and bolts though and if you have a grasp of the basics you can apply them to any mechanical system.
Thanks
