Hydraulic hoses are an integral component of many industrial and mobile machines. They act as the lifeline for fluid power systems, transmitting high-pressure fluid to drive machinery components. Like any other part, they are susceptible to wear and tear, and regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Common Issues with Hydraulic Hoses
- External Damage: External damage, such as cuts, abrasions, or kinks, can compromise the hose's integrity. These damages often result from the hose rubbing against other machinery parts or external impacts.
- Age and Wear: Over time, hydraulic hoses can deteriorate from the inside due to the continuous flow of hydraulic fluid. This internal wear can lead to reduced performance and eventual failure.
- Incorrect Installation: Improperly installed hoses can lead to premature wear, kinks, or bursts. Ensuring correct installation is crucial for the hose's longevity and the safety of the machinery.

Had a good experience here. Had to bring my new Airflo dump body in for some adjustments. They had it in the next day and done in one day. It works great now, the way it should. Good communication too.
