Hydraulic Hoses

Hydraulic hoses are essential components, carrying fluid under high pressure, and transferring power. They are used in virtually every type of hydraulic system across the entire spectrum of industries and applications.

The Role of Hydraulic Hoses

In hydraulic systems, hoses are essential for enabling the flow of fluid between key components such as pumps, valves, and actuators, supporting efficient system operation. Designed to withstand high pressure, they function reliably in demanding environments across applications such as construction, agriculture, and heavy static and mobile machinery.

Hydraulic Hose Maintenance

Regular maintenance is critical for the safe and efficient operation of hydraulic equipment. Key practices include:

• Inspecting hoses for signs of wear, cracks, or leaks. Replacing damaged hoses promptly to prevent system failure.
• Avoiding over-bent hydraulic hoses, or more specifically, beyond their recommended radius, as this may cause premature failure.
• Following the manufacturer’s guidelines and time line for replacement, as hoses have a finite service life even if they appear in good condition.
• Safeguarding hoses from potential damage by avoiding exposure to chemicals, sharp objects, or excessive heat.
• Cleaning hoses periodically, particularly before reinstallation, to prevent contamination within the hydraulic system.
