Hydraulic hose assemblies rarely operate in controlled, protected environments. Rather, rough and demanding conditions are the norm. Thus, hose is often exposed to flying debris in mobile equipment and the likes of weld spatter and hot metal chips—or even the errant lift truck—in industrial settings. Add to that, hoses subjected to continuous movement and machine […]

Suburban Manufacturing releases new sleeve
Suburban Manufacturing, Inc. (SMI), providers of reusable protective sleeving, has officially released a complete line of Radiant Shield sleeving. The sleeve was engineered for use in applications where maintaining proper fluid temperature is important, and is available in three different variations to provide optimal abrasion protection and heat containment required for the specific application. Adding […]
Hose protection ensures safe hydraulic designs
During the course of everyday operations, hydraulic hose assemblies are exposed to moisture, dirt, corrosion, high temperatures and physical impact. Continuous movement and rubbing against other hoses or equipment—often caused by machine vibrations—can erode hose covers, while non-compatible fluids can eat away at them as well. And once this outer layer of protection is […]
Safeplast Safe-Spiral Hose Protectors improve safety
Safe-Spirals protect hydraulic and pneumatic hoses from deterioration, shocks and abrasion. They improve the visibility of hoses, thus preventing dangerous situations. These protective spirals are easy to install either before or after hose installation. Safe-Spirals are manufactured by direct compression (extrusion) of the raw material HDPE. Due to the manufacturing method the product has a […]
PolySleeve Hose Wrap Improves Appearence and Safety
PolySleeve hose wrap protects hoses from chaffing, rubbing, crushing, ultraviolet rays and other hazards that cause hose failures. It can be an easy and economical way to protect equipment, reduce downtime, improve sighting and improve overall appearance. PolySleeve can be installed easily – even after the hose assembly or assemblies are in place. The edges […]
