Power Under Pressure

Hydraulic hoses are the lifelines of construction equipment, powering machines to move earth, lift loads, and shape our urban landscapes.

Mastering Hydraulic Hose Selection

Choosing the right hydraulic hoses is critical for system performance and safety. This article offers essential insights into hose selection, covering factors like pressure ratings, diameters, materials, and safety considerations, ensuring optimal functionality and risk mitigation.

Selecting the right hydraulic hose

Hoses typically become heavier for any given length, with added layers of reinforcing wire, as the working pressure requirement increases.

Connecting Machinery with Efficiency

Essential for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of construction machinery like excavators, loaders, bulldozers, cranes, etc., hydraulic hoses play a crucial role in various equipment.

Improving machine productivity

The demand for the hydraulic hose is estimated to grow at a substantial rate from the construction industry owing to the requirement of high operating pressure and maximum abrasion resistance to the equipment.

Improving performance

Hydraulic hoses and fittings play a vital role in the fluid power transmission in hydraulic equipment. Construction and mining equipment will continue to be a major growth driver for this segment.

Hydraulic Hoses & Fittings

Hydraulic hose and fittings is one of the most important components in fluid power transmission. Selection of the right hose depends on various factors viz, operating pressure range, temperatures, abrasion resistance, and application and flow requirements. One should also consider the type of fluid conveyed and the application.

Aligned with CE Growth

High pressure, large diameter and volumetric capacity hoses fitted with appropriately speced fittings and protection covering are key ingredients for heavy construction and mining machinery. Such hoses have endured extreme usage under adverse to poor operating cycles and environment.

CE-Hose Connect

Hoses are essential to connect equipment functionalities with the relative prime movers, wherever fluid medium is the mode of power transfer. They facilitate functionalities of implements, drive control systems, brakes, motors and cylinders which form the core of modern construction machinery.

Ways to Improve Life of Hose

UK Prasad sheds light on how to select the optimum hose assembly to obtain maximum life for an application. Often, one purchases a hose assembly for a hydraulic equipment or system only to experience a premature failure.
